WHo's the biggest threat to Mayweather right now?

Paul Williams is the biggest threat to Floyd and Cotto. If Floyd dont fight next year then what is Cotto excuse for not fighting Williams. He will lose. Williams to beat Cotto and Floyd. On the scale Williams is consider #3 behind Floyd and Cotto. How can he prove it but to fight one of them. Floyd taking off so its #2 vs. #3. The winner fights # 1 Floyd. My moneys on TALL PAUL.

The biggest threat to Floyd Mayweather junior right now (and always) .... is Floyd Mayweather Senior !!

One thing Cotto's never been known for is ducking anybody. As for a Cotto-Williams fight..... Cotto's first body punch will bring Williams down to 5'-8". The second hook will be to the head. Say "good night" Paul.

1. Miguel Cotto: He is sneaky fast, moreso than Hatton. He has timing that reminds me of prime Tyson that makes him very accurate because he also throws the right punch at the right time. He has good enough power probably not to take Mayweather out, but he could put Mayweather in the same defensive mode he was in against Oscar. One thing that I love about Cotto is that he remains calm under any situation, in terms of concentration him and Mayweather are very alike and this makes them so hard to beat because they are so focused, and they don't make many mistakes.
2. Shane Mosley: still very fast, he doesn't fight mentally at the same speed as he use to, but he has that granite chin along with good skills, and he is really strong. I think he is the least threatening person on this list because he has poor timing and the right person can outbox which I believe Mayweahter is.
3. Paul Williams: perhaps the most dangerous person for Mayweather to fight. This guy reminds me of Ali with his reach and hand and footspeed, but he lacks the finer skills on the outside which he would need IMO to beat Floyd. He doesn't sit down enough on his punches, and he doesn't use the outside game enough, but once he gets those things down he will be an All time great. He's easy to hit, but he's hard to fall. He throws a million punches like its nothing, but many of those punches are nothing because he doesn't have his feet set when he punchess 90% of the time and he doesn't have the snap that Ali, Leonard, Hearns all possesed. Despite all his faults IMO this Mayweather's biggest threat because Paul is such an amazing athlete and he is good and comfortable anywhere.

paul williams is the least dangerous to mayweather for two reasons:

1st--he'll never be in the same ring as floyd as floyd will NEVER fight him

2nd--as big as he is--he cant bust a grapefruit----did anyone see him pummeling that little guy on HBO last year and couldnt even get him off his feet---he will rely on handspeed and if u do that with mayweather he will beat u--he will make the adjustments and outwork u and find a way to break u down---(see judah, zab) which is why mosely would lose to pbf too--also, mosely will not fight pbf --after losing to cotto there is no motivation for floyd to fight him

as for cotto he would get the same beatdown hatton got except maybe worse---cotto cannot deal with handspeed--which is why torres nearly kayoed hima nd why frankly he had trouble with corley--he squeaked by mosley only b/c shane is nearly 37 yrs old for crissakes----4 or 5 yrs ago shane would have stopped cotto

the biggest threat to pbf is stil;l oscar===oscar couldnt miss him with the jabb in the 1st fight and if he can step it up in the second fight he should squeak by floyd
