What Boxer In History Could Realistically Defeat Floyd Mayweather?

[Tony Trick-Pony]

There's no way to find out. It's all speculation.

Mythical Match-ups can be fun to talk about but it all comes down to this in the end.

I'll bet a 2008-2009 manny pacman would have given him a hard time

What don't people get about styles making fights? Manny just doesn't have the style to bother Floyd. He never has or never will.

[Diego Rodriguez]

Paul Spadafora!! Just kidding but I remember reading that even Floyd acknowledged that Spadafora got the better of them when they sparred. Again just kidding that Spadafora would win as a pro, but that will probably drive a few people crazy. I think this is one of the reasons Floyd wanted to fight him, but Spadafora got in legal problems if I recall and they never got a chance to fight as pros. Spadafora was so unorthodox and ugly to watch.

Floyd was bouncing around in the ring when Manny countered his ass XD. The dude fought a shadow of what once Pacquiao and got his ass whobbled multiple times in that fight but the only gripe is that Pacquiao no longer has any forms of speed. And a shadow of Pacquiao is his biggest win of today.

Pacquiao, Margarito, Castillo, Williams

I don't like to compare different eras to eachother. Too much changes in sports. A guy from 1980 & guy fighting now are not comparable in my opinion
