Who can beat Floyd Mayweather?
Ruthless Rocco after he stacks a bunch of ped.
I can't think of anyone from 140-147 who I would favor to beat Floyd, and that includes Pacquiao.
Shawn Porter would beat his ass IMO.
I disagree, I think Manny will show stuff Floyd he hasn't seen in a while. Floyd handled Maidana easily in the rematch but in the first one he struggled with the constant pressure. Manny would not be swinging at air like most of Floyd's opponents. Floyd is an absolutely amazing boxer but Floyd hasn't faced a Manny. It would be such a tough fight for Floyd he would actually have to fight in round twelve instead of getting on the Floyd fag bike. Manny would win convincingly and than lose it on the cards. They will have a second fight which Floyd would look much better in but he will still lose and win on the cards. He will then retire 51-0 wearing the ATG hat, speaking highly of himself but being ridiculed the rest of his life for his two losing wins. It will haunt him, he will turn to drugs, kill a prostitute because she didn't know who he was and spend the rest of his life in jail. Thank you.
Manny hasnt faced a floyd BUT he still gets knocked out by a marquez.
Explain that one.. as it wont go away my friend..and the other 4 losses.
I know its annoying to keep bringing up mannys losses because he is a great fighter but he CAN be beaten and outboxed.
Floyd has never lost and adjusts to any opponent.
Are we to believe that manny has had the toughest opponents since boxing begun?!..holes can and will be picked on anyones record!
Watching the troubles Floyd had with Maidana over two fights combined with Floyds overall demeanor of late leads me to believe that he's lost his mojo or an important portion of it. Maybe a Manny fight is exactly what he needs but I think he runs the risk presently of getting beat by somebody who could not touch him a year ago.
Khan certainly has a shot, if that fight happens in May it's all risk no reward IMO
Khan has the best chance just because of styles. I think maybe even matthysse could be a dark horse because of styles.
I just see Khan v Floyd as a joke. I get the speed thing but I seriously think Floyd would make Khan look like a child. I like Khan now more than I did, I hate to say it but I think this whole Khan beating Floyd is just an English Gentleman's dream.
People go on and on about Khan's speed, but I don't hear about any other attribute Khan has that could trouble Floyd.
You need more than speed to beat the #1 P4P fighter in the world.
The truth is, Khan isn't on Floyd's level. Never has been, never will.
I also don't see Porter doing it. If Kell Brook could outbox Porter, surely Floyd could.
I'm going to be honest, I never saw anything special in Khan.
I still have no idea where people get the idea that Khan could beat Floyd. All I hear about is his speed. You need more than speed to beat Floyd.
Well he's also got a world class jab with bite and you need one of those. He moves well and does not plod in and rinse and repeat. He's got a solid hook and good feet. I think he'd be the most difficult style Floyd has faced in years, maybe ever. Floyd has fought guys that suited his shell D 95% of the time. Whens the last time he faced a boxer/puncher who is quite possibly better skilled offensively then he is? That is what is so cool about the sport. It does not matter who Khan lost to in this match-up. Khan has issues with swarmer/brawler types that crowd him and get him into fights he shouldn't be in. Floyd is not doing that. And in case anyone hadn't noticed, it would appear that entropy also effects Floyd. He's lost a step be it physical, mental or a mixture of the two and nothing could be more obvious given he last two outings.
So not only do Khans physical abilities matchup better then most, his timing should this happen could also prove to be impeccable. Could look a little Hearns/Leonard like. I doubt the fight materializes. Barring any controversy I think the winner of Devon and Khan will be gunning for Brook. Khan may have a dream but I think it will remain one.
I honestly dont know at this point. Floyd does not look well and I cant stress that enough. Others must see the same thing because now the Arabs are getting involved in the bidding wars for "the fight"
If Floyds going to lose I think he risks it in that one not Khan.
Would have been nice to see them fight right after Manny walked through Hatton after Roach had taken offence to Hattons trainers comments,just retorted with my boy finishes your boy in under 3 rounds" and it happened in 2. :cool:
I dont think Kahn can do to Floyd what he did all around Zab; (wear him down from a distance). Nice liver shot finish though. Zab wanted out, he was mentally beaten and mia from that fight already. Floyd know Kahns weakness too, its not the same the other way around.
Comparable but different game.
Manny probably still has the best shot though, he is still erratic with power when on the move.
In all seriousness If this fight takes place it had better not be in Vegas. Manny will have no chance of ever getting a decision there He has to KO Floyd or stop him to win. Theres no way Floyd's homies would let him lose. Kenny Bayless would ref, he's already sold his soul to the devil in the Maidana fight. Joe Cortez II I dread to think what stipulations Floyd would insist on. Probably make Manny wear a blindfold LOL
Floyd is scared of losing he'll find a way out of the fight
I enjoy how you the jokes on the subject run.
Gayweathers and Pactards.
Mayweather is all style and skill and flash. Pacquioa's dumb as dirt almost inbred style.
You can say I'm gay for Floyd all you want. I'd much rather be gay than retarded.
Some funny reading back there.
Can we stick to the thread?
All these childish comments add nothing FFS.
Unless you can tell me how a guy with a perfect record takes an L to a guy who has been knocked out and outboxed in the past by lesser opponents then I can believe.
Floyd owns all eras of pac and I know it hurts to talk about his flaws but even the fence sitters (rantcatrat) would agree!
Mike Tyson had a perfect record. He lost to Douglas who had multiple losses, at least one a stoppage loss. floyd is the favorite, no doubt about it. That being said, you're kidding yourself if you say Manny has no chance. And if you do say that, why should Floyd bother fighting again? Manny has a better chance than anyone else...
Manny for sure has a chance. I don't think it's as good as people would like to think though, and I don't think it's as good as some of the young guns like Shawn Porter.
Floyd is the overwhelming favorite if he fights Manny, no doubt about this. But Floyd seems to believe that Manny has more chance of winning than most in this forum would believe. Otherwise, he would have moved heaven and earth to make that fight happen. Manny called Floyd out after the Algieri fight and what did Floyd do, post in Instagram the moment that JMM knocked Pacquiao out.
Manny is willing to give in and allow Floyd to have the lion's share of the purse (which I believe is how it should be), Floyd is superior to Manny hence considered to win, Floyd will maintain his 0 loss career with Pacquiao included on his resume and cement his legacy as an ATG. Floyd has the upper hand in the negotiation and it is now up to him. But his silence is deafening.
I think Floyd was always the better fighter between him and Pacquiao.
