Hatton...
Boldomir gives him problems; and I doubt he would be too intrested in a third Castillo fight either! ;)
simple no1
Yep much like 1990 Tyson and 2002 Mosley ;)Quote:

If Floyd does not keep jumping weights,he could end up being unbeaten,he has the talent and skill to do so. Out of all the possible fighters out there,you all know who I think can give him a tough match,Hatton and Antonio Fwckin Tony Montiel Margarito!!!
154 down nobody can beat him. He is to damn good.
Vs Mayorga He would destroy him over 12 rounds and dish out the punishment he gave to Gatt
Vs Vargas- Very little gas left in his tank and it would be humiliating
Vs Mosley- Expect Mosley to get a worse betting than he did with Forrest in their first fight
Vs De La Hoya- Would have beaten De La Hoya in his prime yet alone now, expect a similiar fight to Mosley Vs De La Hoya except PBF displaying much better defense than Mosley
Vs Margarito- His claim to fame is Kermit Cintron or whatever his name is, and people think that this would be PBF biggest challenge, I disagree I think Margarito would be a big slow target who would take alot of punishment even though I feel he is the strongest Welterweight out there (not the most skilled)
Vs Baldomir- Hahahaha people who even entertain this lunacy should not be on this site
Vs Hatton- Hatton would have the most heart on this list besides Mayorga, nevertheless he is a step behind in every category vs PBF speed, power, defense, jab and ring generalship. I love Hatton as a fighter but he is not ready for PBF
Vs Cotto- This fight is the most unlikely because Cotto still has some kinks to work out at 140 before he moves up to 147 but we could see it in 2 or 3 years.
Vs Father Time- This is the only opponent on the list who can and will beat PBF, he has beat everybody in boxing history with the exception of Marciano who had nobody to fight, but Floyd is 29 soon to be 30 with alot of wasted years from various things such as a bad attitude, trouble with the law, trouble inside his camp (most notably with his father), and hanging around the wrong crowd.
No, from what I have seen in the Judah bout, you underrate Baldomir at your own peril. Baldomir would be competitive against Mayweather and set him problems IMO.Quote:

The one thing I have learnt about boxing is no one is unbeatable; anyone on any given night can lose, and if you do not believe that about Mayweather you are in for a shock, probably sooner rather than later. ;)
Carrying on from Britkids speech....enter Antonio Margarito!!!!
Who can beat PBF? Only PBF.
Oscar De la hoya ;D
you have lost you're phucking mind..shane is toooooo strong for floyd..and in the vernon fight shane took a hard head butt that cause him to bleed fomr the top of his head and that really messed his head up and he neve got a chance to recover because he got knocked down right after that...and he still won some rounds after that....Quote:

He needs to stay away from LMw....ODLH, Spinks, Mosley and Ouma I think all of these fighters are deadly for PBF.Quote:

I totally agree with Britkid that everyone is beatable. I just don't see Floyd losing to Hatton or Tony. And I don't think Shane would win. But, Oscar and Shane probably have the best chances out of the four.
If u take time to actually think about it Shane Mosley is the only guy who has the right tools to beat Floyd. The reason i say this is because if u look at how judah was able to connect with straight punches down the pipe who else has a dominate style like that? Mosley could throw those for hours because he doesn't have stamina problems like judah. But the question is how will he stand up to mosley's power? Judah is a 3 round strong fighter but he his not close to Mosley after Oscar realize that its career suicide to go against Floyd then Mosley is gonna challenge him he's only keeping quit right now because Mosley and Oscar are on teams. Mosley will challenge him after he beats Vargas. Other that that i dont know who will beat Floyd the only people who has good enough styles still have stuff to prove because they are only prospects. Its just a joke for Floyd to fight Margarito he's way too slow i dont know why people are even considering to wanna see that fight. Mosley is the guy with the tools to beat Floyd
You have to remember something, Zab is southpawed, and that is the biggest reason Floyd got hit. Mosely is fast, but against righties, Floyd has great defense. I don't think Mosely qwould land like Zab was able to. Plus, Mosely's stamina has been a problem lately. He is in great shape, but his last few fights, especially against Vargas, he was tiring. Mosely does have the tools to hang with Floyd, and possibly win, but If it goes the distance, I see Floyd pulling out a close decision.Quote:

Un real the best fighter floyd mayweather has beaten was zab judah and i thought he lost his fight with castillo a tough club fighter let the guy do something first and sustain it over time,I still think delahoya can beat him mabey ko him and i dont even like oscar
Actually Castillo was probably his most difficult challenge. And I am sorry Chico Carrales was a huge challenge at the time of their fight and he destroyed him. Zab Judah is not the best he has beaten.Quote:
