    Jab
    Timing
    Workrate
    An ability to not get discouraged when after 5 or 6 rounds youve hit him flush maybe 6 times
    Stamina to go hard for 12 rounds

    I back that 100%, Mayweather's invincibility is a myth, just another Naseem Hamed. when a real test comes he will be found out. Laugh if you want because the same people who laugh at this are the same people who probably predicted ODH to walk through Pac and for Hopkins to get stopped by Pavlik and for Shane to Stop Margarito, ****ing Ludacris if you ask me...I am honestly backing either Margarito or Williams to take Floyd down and Bully him into submission whilst doing it. Margarito would have learned from his mistakes I believe after watching the tape of Cotto so lets see if he incorporates any significant changes in the Mosley fight. Im tired of listening to Mayweather Glory hunters who probably dont even pay any attention to any other fighters apart from Floyd...They will support anything that creates a myth of being invincible or unbeatable, i.e. Jeff Lacy, until Calzaghe sent him back to America all ****ed up. Mayweather being unbeatable ??? I dont buy that for one second, every man is beatable, its just that Floyd is harder to beat but he is definetly beatable and whoever does it will have to totally go in there and bully him for 3 minutes of every round, I mean when he is running. Hunt him down like a dog but unload each time, this is exactly Margarito and Williams Style, those 2 guys are the only guys who in my opinion have the best chance. Im not sold on Pacquiao beating Mayweather, Mayweather has already dealt with that style before...All Mayweather would do is the same thing he did to Judah, a complete Replica...

    Floyd once said that the toughest guy he has faced in the ring was his own Dad.

    Pressure. A fast and busy southpaw with a very good jab (power would be a plus). Of course handspeed, workrate, ring intelligence and ability to bully and rough him a bit..

    A guy like Tommy Hearns would do it to.

    A southpaw with good handpeed speed, footwork, defense, good counter-puncher, decent workrate, decent pop, good jab and stamina. The only fighter that is close to this that is around PBF's size is Spinks we've never really seen PBF in the ring with a great counter-puncher. Most won't agree but Spinks would give PBF hell the only reason why Spinks probably wouldn't win is because of his low workrate.

    Spinks would have no chance, I dont even know why his name is even being mentioned. And alot of people mention southpaws, I dont think a southpaw would make much difference because it creates an even better target to land a straight right which is Floyds trademark punch.

    I believe a total bully in the ring, making him run for 3 mins of every round would eventually corner him and slow the ******* down...

    Floyd himself admits that southpaws bother him

    Exactly! Not only that we've never seen PBF in with a good counter-puncher. Spinks with his jab, movement and defense would give PBF fits.

    You really think so ???

    So what do you think about Pacquiao's chances in this case then ???

    Just out of curiosity

    We could be seeing the changing of the guard, out with the old in with the new...

    How do you beat Floyd? Send Manny Pacquiao in to fight for you.

    Pac has a decent chance but his lack of defense and somewhat predictable style would be his undoing. Not too mention he'd be fighting a guy that has just as good handspeed or better. To my knowledge Pac has never faced someone with faster or equal handspeed on an elite level.
