    Name any fighter or fighters that could beat Mayweather Jr

    What I want to know is there any fighters in the world today that could beat Mayweather Jr they have to be in and around the same weight class though here my picks:

    Miguel Cotto: Great at cutting the ring off, this would stop Mayweathers punching and moving and trap him against the ropes where he doesnt like to be

    Ricky Hatton: Too much of a pressure fighter for Mayweather and will walk through a brick wall just to throw one punch

    Shane Mosely: Possible, Shane is a big puncher and is just as quick as Floyd maybe Shane could beat him to the punch i dont know

    This isnt a thread hating on Floyd because he is my second favorite fighter at the moment and it just seems that there arnt that many fighters that could match him skill wise

      Castillo already beat him.

      Chavez was giving him hell and was winning at the time of the Chavez corner stoppage.

          Hatton is too careless in the ring for PBF. He will get countered all night if he doesn't hurt Floyd. Cotto is good but, he still needs to fight one of the top names in boxing. Castillo, lost a close decision and got his ass whipped the second fight. Shane is not as sharp as he used to be. Floyd is a faster counter puncher.

            Cotto doesn't have the defensive ability to stay with one of the most accurate punchers today. Malignaggi was lighting him up and would've done some serious damage if he had any power at all.

            Hatton can't walk through brick walls forever. He certainly can't give up 2 or 3 punches for every 1 he lands in return. He could beat Mayweather, but he's going to have to fight like he did against Tszyu and get away with that stuff for 12 rounds. Not to mention, Floyd isn't going to stand in front of Hatton like Tszyu did.

            Mosley stands in the pocket too much and will always be there in front of Mayweather. However, Floyd won't sit there waiting for Mosley to fight back. Shane's footwork has gone bye bye since leaving Lightweight.

            I think the best shot to beat Mayweather is Oscar.

              Jesus Chavez wasnt giving no1 hell,i watched the fight,Mayweather was counterin great,and when ever Chavez traded shots,Mayweather got the better of the 2,there's no way Chavez was winning at the time of the stoppage,he was eatin alot of shots and Mayweather was clearly infront,it was a good performance by Chavez,but he was no way near in front

                Nice try, it was a close fight but the cards were 89-82, 88-83, 87-84 all for Mayweather. Chavez had some success to the body but ate far too many uppercuts throughout the entire fight.

                  I think Cotto is very green an not quite fast enoguh for floyd. I would give hma chance if had better D and more ring savvy but he doesn't have that right now

                  Ricky was sort of exposed agianst Collazo. I still think he hs a good style to fight floyd to a degree but i think he will get tagged with too many clean shots trying to bull his way in.

                  I kind of agree with Floyd when he says that Sugar shane is not really sharp enough for him. He does close his eyes when he loads up and he does swing wildly at times. Never seen floyd get caught with a wild shot.

                  All of these are good fights though with the outcome ultimatey being decided in the ring. never say never in boxing

                    and

                    BTW Castillo got 3 gift wins in his career, 2 against Johnston and one against Casamayor.

                    Castillo needs 2 or 3 more gifts to catch his buddy Julio Cesar Chavez.
