    Manny is the only guy who can realistically beat Floyd, unless he jumps up to a stupidly high weight class or continues fighting way past his best. So I think the chances are, Floyd will retire in the next couple of years, having never fought Manny and having never been beaten.

    i dont see anyone b/w 147-154 beating him right now. if he decided to take on SM at 160 there is a good chance he would lose. Same goes if he takes on PW at 160. If he continues to fight into 2012 the chances of someone like berto, bradley, alexander etc beating him go up. He's a smart guy and im sure he'll hang em up the second he thinks he is slipping and has the possibility of losing. for some reason i picture him taking on canelo at 154 for his last fight since by that point i think alvarez will be a good bit better than his now. than again, pac has a chance of ending all this talk come NOV.

    I don't know, but my guess is if anyone will, it will be Floyd. Not because he is unbeatable, no. Because he is a smart matchmaker with his career. I voted yes. I hope he gets his ass beat though.

    Unless FMJ jumps up and takes on some crazy fight that we all know he shouldn't? Nobody beats him 154 on down.

    :lol: Me too. I'll hold my breath on him going north once more. If he doesn't move up in weight to fight, he wont lose.

    Its impossible to guess the answer to the thread title, I would have to see a schedule of his fights + the dates & weights they were to take place.

    What I will say tho... is that Pacquiao will never beat him & neither will anyone from 154 downwards unless he fights on too long.

    How can you be sure of that? Floyd ask him for an olympic style testing cuz obviously he knows pac has a very good chance of whooping his ass.

    I agree with this and I think he'll probably be smart and retire before fading to the extent that he can be beaten.

    NICE OPINION!:good I THINK ITS AS HE SAYS...HE BELIEVES MANNY IS ON PEDS..NOT CUZ "PAC HAS A VERY GOOD CHANCE OF WHOOPING HIS AZZ"...LOL..ALL THE EVIDENCE POINTS TOWARDS FLOYD COMING BACK ONLY TO FIGHT JMM AND PAC ORIGINALLY....IF THAT WAS THE CASE AND HE WAS SCARED OF MANNY THAN WHY WOULD HE NOT NEGOTIATE WITH SHANE MOSLEY AFTER THE JMM FIGHT AND INSTEAD GET INTO NEGOTIATIONS WITH TEAM PAC, ONLY TO FIGHT SHANE STILL:deal:nono

    UR FAULT VITOR

    If he tries to make it 50-0, or thereabouts, then he will most surely lose that 0.

    But if he's not to fight after 2011 or so, then he just may retire undefeated. Obviously needs to deal with Manny regardless (which I'm still undecided on...leaning towards the latter taking it).

    I fear that's the way it's gonna be. The having never fought Manny bit, that is. :-(
