Who give's Mayweather the best run for his money?

[TheMacMagician]

So, I just want to see Maywether finally on the seat of his pants, and i'm sure i'm not alone. I was so close to witnessing it Saturday, and the excitement in round two was for me almost at the roof. Who on the list can do it, or come closest now Mosley is out of the picture to snatching that 0 from Mr Mayweather.

As Adidas used to say, impossible is nothing....... NEXT

Castillo beat him 1st time out. 114-112 i had castillo every time i saw the fight

Mayweather the welterweights toughest assignment has been hatton because of his awkward style and the fact he is an all or nothing fighter. Hatton took a fair few rounds off of mayweather which nobody yet has been able to manage

I know this is getting tired but I still say that it has to be Pacman. I agree that those shots landed by Mosely in round 2 were great. Manny has much more foot and hand speed than Mosely. In my opinion, had Manny been in that situation and landed those shots, he would have finished it off and landed about 6-8 more of those shots and possibly put Floyd on the ground in that situation. My opinion of Mayweather rose 5 fold during that fight. Very composed in the face of mild adversity. I may stamp the G.O.A.T. tag on him if he beats Manny in the same way he beat Mosely. However, I still think that if and when this fight does happen, Floyd will have to stop boxing and start fighting in this match. And when that happens, I have to give the edge to Manny...but the deal has to be made first.

How the hell can this be poll worthy

Whoever doesnt vote pacquiao should be publically outted as a retard

I would lean towards Paul Williams at light middle, but otherwise, there is a reason why Pac v Mayweather is the most called for fight in boxing right now...

Pac being AS fast as Mayweather... Maybe not as 100% effective or intelligent speed, but he can land as fast as Mayweather... He's VERY light on his feet and is very good at ducking and taking away the target size to BE hit.. He's a southpaw which is more effective on Mayweather.... And most of all, he punches from much more angles than most fighters... And unexpectedly... Strict boxers are figured out by Floyd within 2 or 3 rounds and he makes them look awful... The fighters who can really work angles to the body and overly pressure Floyd have been the closest to beating him.. Castillo and Hatton.. Hatton was just way to hittable... Pac is about 100 times less hittable than Hatton was in the Floyd fight..
I think Pac has a few different game plans that he could execute to take rounds of Floyd... It'll be a cracking fight..

One thing that worries me though for that is Floyd looked much much bigger than Shane... Shane was supposed to be bigger and stronger, but by round 5, Floyd looked faster, stronger, bigger, taller, longer reach, more aggressive.. But all that lost most of it's effect in Round 2 vs Mosley because of the pressure... Pac will put more pressure than most fighters without being hit as much...

Pac is the biggest risk to Floyd...

Has to be Pacquiao, followed by Williams.
Manny's speed and southpaw style will cause problems for Floyd, but nothing he cannot handle. Manny has never faced anyone that moves as much and as fast as Floyd does, so it will be interesting to see how his normally high accuracy holds up. Same goes the other way around too I suppose, but Manny is a lot easier to hit than Floyd.
Freddie Roach will need to get Manny working on his upper body movement if he wants him to have any chance I reckon. Even though he has impressively won all his recent fights, Manny has been tagged pretty well in most of them at different points. If you give Floyd a target, he will hit it and wear you down over the rounds.

Nah, can see why a few people think Williams gives him a tough fight. I see Mayweather toying with Pacquiao to be honest.

[BoxingGorilla]

I think Mayweather should fight Tim Bradley and do it before Pacquiao can. Bradley can sure as shit do a better job than Mosley did.

Fight Berto.

Those are my top two for Mayweather. Tim Bradley or Andre Berto. Besides Manny, of course.

Also, Mayweather would be taking out a fighter with a "0" on his record.

[mattboxingfan]

His tax bill i would assume!

[gest12645]

How would Williams beat Mayweather? Sure , he's big, but he has no defence. He hasn't improved all that much from when he lost to Quintana. Floyd would take him to school. As for the vote, I voted Pacman

[gest12645]

I know this is off topic, but did anyone follow live betting for the Mosley /Floyd fight? After the second round Mosley was the favorite for like 10 seconds and then they made the odds even at 1.8 . Thats 80 bucks won on a 100 I put down nice cash.

[Althugz]

I voted Selcuk Aydin because he's Turkish and we can beat the fuck out of everybody

In all seriousness, PW throws more shots than Corales but I feel that only means more countering oppurtunites for Money.

Pacman - His hardest fight but I don't see why people say "I wonder what would have happened if Pac landed that shot"...erm, he got hit by Shane Fuckin Mosley. If he survived that he'll survive Pacquaio's shots..I doubt he woulda been stunned in the first place for Pac to finish him.

Pac's biggest weapon for him in this fight will be his angles, output and the fact he's a southpaw. Floyd usually gets drawn into fights with southpaws which may or may not bode well

Berto doesnt have a chance imo

Martinez at LM would be tough but I doubt Money's going back there to fight again.

The rest don't fare well but you never know..

[InTheNeutralCorner]

I would have picked Paul Williams if the fight is at LM but Floyd will clobber him at WW. Since it seems unlikely for me that this two will meet, I will have to erase Williams from the equation. Otherwise, I would have said Klitschko.

This brings me to the current weight division where Floyd is right now ....... so I'd say Manny Pacquiao.

[JonesJrMayweather]

Always said if mosley doesnt do it no one will. Floyd will retire undefeated and best p4p fighter since RJJ...
