    when was the last time Mayweather fought someone with average or better speed, good chin, come forward offensive minded/pressuring style and power?


    What's the real answer in your opinion?

    If Khan is good at 147, then he can still surprise a few people, meaning if 147 is Khan's natural weight and Khan's chin holds up better at least he can make things interesting.

    Wrong
    1. Mosley is not a pressure fighter / constant come forward type
    2. Mosley was 1 year away from his 40th birthday

    1) A pressure fighter
    2) Great speed
    3) Great chin
    4) Power

    Who that's around do you think fits that description?

    Was there anyone available with those qualities other than Pacquiao?

    These below were all pressure fighters with at least a good chin and average+ speed that Mayweather faced earlier in his career

    Castillo (gave Floyd a tough close fight x2)
    Jesus Chavez (this was a closer fight than people realize and floyd had a 7 inch reach advantage over this midget)
    Emanuel Augustus (gave Floyd his toughest fight as he claimed)
    Compare these above three fights to recent styles Mayweather cherrypicked and realize what Mayweather doesn't want to see in the ring

    Other fighters that fit the criteria and what happened:
    P. Williams (Mayweather ducked him)
    Margarito (Mayweather ducked him)
    Pacquiao (Mayweather ducked him)

    Oh Jesus, I mean if you're allowing people with "average speed" there are a dozen or so people you could list. Sorry, I thought you were serious.

    someone with average speed is bound to ko mayweather, its a no brainer

    P. Williams (Mayweather ducked him)
    Margarito (Mayweather ducked him)
    Pacquiao (Mayweather ducked him)

    all 3 of these guys have been horribly exposed over the years and if mayweather had beat them all you would be leading the cheerleaders who say all these guys are overhyped after mayweather dispatched them all easily
