    it was interesting how judah and floyd went from hating each other to loving each other when the fight almost got stopped. and floyd was so happy merchant didnt give him a hard time.. i know they have had disagreements in the past where floyd would tell merchant he has no credibility because he doesnt box

        The only person out there who can beat Mayweather is Ricky Hatton.

          Hatton is the guy that could and likely would beat Floyd. Hatton would walk through Floyd's punches and smother him with body shots and uppercuts. And talk about stamina...Hatton keeps the same pace for 12 rounds, Mayweather wouldn't have time to even breath. While I'm on the subject, and some might think I'm nuts for saying this, but I think Ricardo Mayorga if he moved down would give Floyd some serious problems with his unpredictable streetfighting style. We all know Mayorga has the power, aggressiveness, and chin. All he would have to do is put it all together for 12 rounds and he would beat him.

              I really don't.

              Especially since he's just reiterating something anyone that watches boxing would know.

Every fight of FLOYDs ive seen his paced himself and never went after the kill til after hed hurt a fighter... somethign ALI use to do.... (A TATIC ONLY THE GREASTEST USE..... EFFECTIVLY) Now just imagine him fighting say a HATTON and HATTON from the get go TRYING to TAKE FLOYD out ( he defintly wont try and box with him.... IF HE DOES...)how do you think FLOYD will react after he does his RUNNING (DODGEING) his going to go after HATTONS head with quick in and out movments followed by jabs hooks.... **** the whole barrage....



                I dont wanna spoil the fight,, youll all see soon enough
                I dont know much about Margarito, but Hatton is definately someone I can see giving Floyd trouble.

                When Judah was fighting Floyd he was doing real good until he started getting less and less agressive, probably because he was getting tired.

                Hatton is a very aggressive Fighter that will be coming at you every minute of every round.

                It's true that Hatton has nowhere near the speed of Judah but as we all know speed don't win fights.

                Now I'm not saying Ricky is even going to win, but I can sure see him giving Floyd the most trouble out of anyone at Welter Weight right now and who knows this is the sport of boxing anything can happen.

                Floyd's got to lose sometime... He's definately not the type of person that will leave the sport of boxing still in his prime, when there's still money to be made.

                  I think Hatton's face wouldnt be able to survive floyds sharp punches, and Hatton definitly needs to take some punches to get inside of floyd. Margirito is a slow, plodding big puncher who i think will get picked apart by Floyd.

                      IMO Margarito is the only fighter at 147 who has a chance at beating Floyd.The only reason I give him a chance is not because of skill because cleary PBF is better but because of size.Marg is a natural welterweight and has welterweight power.Even still Mayweather W12.
