    Who are some fighters that don't match up well style wise for a guy like Mayweather?

    I heard through some YTBC channels that Sergio Martinez and Paul Williams would give Mayweather a hard time due to their style.

    Any thoughts?

    Mayweather ducked Khan because he feared Khan's lightning hands.

    Khan has fast hands, but bad everything else.

    I will stick to WWs and fairly contemporary WWs. (i will not be including Sergio as he was not a WW)

    Vernon Forrest, Paul Williams, Cory Spinks,

    Spinks had an awkward style. I guess it's a Spinks family trait.

    Wrong dummy PBF is a stylistic nightmare for Margo he's the exact same type of style PBF always gets accused of fighting. Had he fought Margo people would say this but since he didn't he's a threat.:deal Log off.

    Cory Spinks would have given PBF fits and I've always said this. Tall long southpaw who could counter and move.

    Throughout history Tommy Hearns.
    As good as Floyd is I can't see any argument or way he beats Hearns.
