What kind of fighter could trouble Mayweather the most?

A very good combination puncher with fast feet, good stamina and preferably southpaw.

People think you have to take away floyd's body, or take away his rhythm. I think you have to take away his best tool - his eyes. And you do that with explosive combinations that his eyes wont be able to read. This is what Jones did to Toney and Hopkins.

 

I think fights with both Margarito and Pacquiao would have been very interesting. Not to many people will agree.

 

Stevie Johnston would've given him hell.

 

A tall fighter that actually knows how to fight tall, has a good powerful crisp jab, who is always coming forward never letting of the gas and pressuring, with a very good left hook and a good combination puncher

being a southpaw will also help

basically you need another atg and head to head nightmare to beat floyd mayweather

speaks leagues about the man and just how good he is really

 

I agree 100%

2007 Margarito

2009 Pacquiao

 

Vernon Forest and Winky Wright also.

 

Floyd's footwork in 2007 was too much for Margarito.

2009 Pac would've been a good scrap but nah. Still think Floyd was most vulnerable at 135.

 

From around the era...Prime Oscar, Mosley and Johnston all at 135.

People say Casamayor but I disagree. He never jabbed enough for me to believe he could've gotten the job done. I just don't see it. Like a 2nd rate Johnston without his jab.

 

Margo wouldn't have been ****. A slow easy wide open plodder would have been nothing but target practice for a sharp shooter like PBF. PBF would land on Margo like rain on a tin roof and be gone before Margo could do anything about it. Another thing about Margo is that he's a slow starter. PBF would be up 6 rounds to none before he even knew he was in a fight. PBF tools Margo shuts his limited and flawed ass out in an absolute clinic.:deal

 

Completely agree. He would have a solid chance against pac; close fight. But Margarito particularly is a match made in hell for him

 

I dont agree with Margo, he was too slow and would have been an easy UD.

Pac and Mosley showed that a little bit of speed and he was out the game.



Winky would of cause alot of trouble for floyd.

 

The late Vernon Forrest and Spinks would have given him give him his hardest fight.

 

Lol. You can't let your Mayweather love go can you? This thread is asking what kind of fighter would give Mayweather trouble. If you don't see Maragrito and Pac giving him problems then your just blind. But no need to defend him. Nobody said they would beat him. Let it go.
