    would it really be that impossible for Mayweather

    to beat Spence, Crawford, Thurman if he took a huge risk for no reason and came back?

    don't get me wrong I wouldn't bet on Floyd to beat them he has slowed hugely and has seemed easier to hit in the last few years of his career and when people say he would lose to them I kind of agree

    but given his experience ring IQ and the condition he can get himself into with a full camp is it really that unlikely he could beat any of them over 12 rounds at his current age? Thurman fought old man Collazo and Bundu and they gave him all he could handle why not floyd?

    I think he stands a better chance than any other WW outside of those 3 and maybe Pac

    All I can say is I would never bet against Mayweather.

      Not impossible but very unlikely.

      Floyd's done man. Finished. He has no business in the ring with any top WW's.

        Takes them all to school.

        None of those three fighters are tested by any decent fighter and all got major flaws

          Had he stayed active, maybe he could've, even though he was clearly in decline anyway. None of them are that great.

          Right now i'd say no. He's nearly 42 and not fought in proper boxing matches for over 3 years.

            Mayweather is too old to fight any of the top WW's. With that being said I really believe he could beat Thurman. He would lose to Crawford and have a hard time with Spence.

              With a tune-up and a training camp I'd pick him to beat Thurman and Crawford. Spence is legit

                Mayweather never once faced Margarito, Williams, Cotto or Pac while they were the top welters and in their primes, why are you entertaining yourself with ideas of him ifghting current top welters now that he is 40+?

                I do think he'd beat Thurman.

                  Mayweather is more active than Thurman, so that one wouldn't really be a shock.

                    Yeah.

                    I think with a tune up fight and then another good training camp Floyd could actually beat Keith "Sometime" Thurman.
