5 fighters who would have beat Floyd Mayweather.

[GrandpaBernard]

thats not a good analogy at all....castillo is 2 inches taller than Chavez and much larger only thing they have in common is being mexican and labeled inside fighters.....castillo utilized a better jab, and had less headmovement more parries....people been beating this horse a long time

+ unlikely Chavez gets to fight an injured Floyd with a f’d up rotator cuff

[therealpugilist]

+ unlikely Chavez gets to fight an injured Floyd with a f’d up rotator cuff

they never bring this up or the rematch....floyd was complaining in the corner, turning southpaw to accomodate, getting rub down


where was all this when mannys shoulder was hurt in fight with floyd...didnt bring it up in post fight interview " he do nothing....he just run..."

[therealpugilist]

+ unlikely Chavez gets to fight an injured Floyd with a f’d up rotator cuff

chavez barely got by taylor.....that was bad call in the end.........whitaker beat him....got a draw.......frankie randall outboxed and dropped him but chavez gonna run through Floyd....lol....couldnt even run through Juan Laporte or Rocky Lockridge...


Chavez always had trouble with speed and movement.....even when camacho was past prime and took a beating he couldnt stop him

style wise, i dont think floyd would have a hard time with him 130-140...styles make fights...chavez is a slow starter, he'd be hard pressed to comeback vs floyd

Great post Norm. Nice breakdown.



You’re crazily underestimating Loma’s ring IQ. He’d challenge Floyd mentally far more than anyone ever has.

Armstrong would have been a nice style for May. Sweet Pea gives him problems but Mayweather works him out. Duran possibly beats him at 135.



He’d beat Chavez. Duran gives him hell at 135 but that would be a close decision. I think his length allows him to outbox Pryor.



Camacho probably gives him problems early but Floyd works him out and starts to time him.



There was only five. You can’t count my friend.

Just my opinions fellas. Good stuff!

Here's the thing, Jose Luis Castillo unofficially beat Floyd Mayweather and Castillo was just a journeymen, he wasn't even that famous in his native Mexico. Compared to Julio Cesar Chavez, who is a top 5-10 ATG (I have Chavez top 3 ATG), JLC is nothing.

JCC slaughters Mayweather at 140 lbs. Same thing with Aaron Pryor, who beat Alexis Arguello, Antonio Cervantes and Tommy Hearns in the amateurs.

So, as I said before, these are the only fighters in the whole history of the sport that legitimately beat Floyd Mayweather in a mythical match-up and they are:

@ 147 - The Fab 4
Roberto Duran
Sugar Ray Leonard
Tommy Hearns
Wilfred Benitez

@140
Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.
Aaron Pryor

I wonder how many people really watched that fight. Everyone parrots some things knowing floyd said it was his hardest and knoing floyd had a rough go but a lot of people's comments (not picking on the dude in this thread) suggest they never really watched it.

Credit due to augustus because he kept coming and took a ton of punishment, it wasnt as one sided as gatti, it was more give and take but agustus was getting spanked in the processes, he did make mayweather miss a lot but this was young mayweather who threw a lot that fight to.

Most similar to the hatton fight in that he really made floyd work hard and push him out of his comfort zone but took an ass whooping in the process.

Floyd himself has said that EA was his toughest fight. Some folks swear that when Floyd goes his corner after round 2 he tells Roger "I can't hit him - I don't know what to do". EA came up with some great tactics on the fly. Throw a short left hook inside Floyd's overhand right. When Floyd goes to the ropes, don't just bear down and **** his elbows - throw pawing shots to goad him into countering, then counter him.

Now, Floyd definitely wins down the stretch. EA's trainer told the press that Emmanuel had injured both hands by mid-fight, which is why you get the odd stoppage where EA doesn't even seem hurt. (That's what the trainer says anyway!) Overall, Floyd was just too fast for him. But if they were at 140 and both had proper camps, Floyd's a little slower and EA has a bigger gas tank...

I thought Mayweather won that fight. Definitely won the rematch.

Facts are what someone shows you evidence of. Which I have.

You have not shown any evidence of your stratospheric claim that Loma is some world beater that beats The Best to Ever do it. Except your own bias. Which is flawed. Since of course, there's already one way to beat him.

I never said Loma beats Ray Robinson. What you talking about?

What a TMT p****.

This thread is all about OPINION. I guess you’re too dumb to understand the difference between opinion and fact.

War Salido! Helluva fighter! That mofo done it the HARD way too.

No featherweight in history beats Salido in their second pro fight.

[White Mandela]

Gonna have to start putting the TMT asslickers on ignore to stop them ruining this thread.

bro ive seen most of lomas fights live and he has a lot of wasted movement and can be timed, especially coming in, in a str8 line


floyd is not gonna sit waiting like walters or Rigondeaux, floyd at 130 is 2 inches taller like a 5 inch reach advantage and threw combos , add to the fact he is faster of foot and would not be sitting there, move faster than loma


you need to go study floyd at 130 is more like it


loma has nothing to beat floyd, pressure without landing clean shots dont mean much

I’ve watched all of May’s title fights.

Unlike b****** like Kev and Relevated, I can deal with a difference of opinion though.

I got Loma, you got Floyd. Cool.
