    What percentage of chance would these fighters have against FLoyd Jr? at 147 unless stated.

    Marquez(144Lbs) -%?
    Pacman(144Lbs) -%?
    Hatton(rematch at 144) -%?
    Cotto- %?
    Mosley- %?
    Williams- %?

    I think Mayweather might consider fighting Cotto, but I think he will stay clear of the other two welterweights on the list. What do you reckon?

    I think Williams and Mosely have a fair shot of beating him, which is why he's gonna fight Marquez followed by either Hatton or Pacquiao (all three of whom have next to no chance). And then retire.

    Marquez(144Lbs) -25%
    Pacman(144Lbs) -35%
    Hatton(rematch at 144) -25%
    Cotto- 40%
    Mosley- 35%
    Williams- 40%

    That's how I see it.

    Marquez(144Lbs) - 40%
    Pacman(144Lbs) -40%
    Hatton(rematch at 144) -35%
    Cotto- 45%
    Mosley- 50%
    Williams- 60%

    Mayweather matches up poorly with Williams; Mosley is even money, Cotto has good all around skills, though inferior to Floyd's with the real power to even things out a bit, Hatton same fight all over again - FMJ defence too good, Pacman & JMM good but not powerful enough, Floyd counters their speed with his defence and KO's them.

    All excellent matchups.

    Marquez(144Lbs) 25% Much to heavy Floyd is a welter
    Pacman(144Lbs) 20% Pac would get dominated
    Hatton(rematch at 144) 0% Already beat him
    Cotto- 0% Wont fight a true welter in his prime
    Mosley- 0% Wont fight a killer welter
    Williams- 0% Wont fight a freak welter

    Oh, from the thread title, I thought you meant PBF v. ???.
    ? and TBA are the toughest opponents of all time to never get a title shot. Nobody, and I mean nobody has a win vs. ? or TBA. They're ducked by everyone, too; every single one of their scheduled opponents pulls out to either fight someone else or eat a No Contest.

    Mayweather is perhaps one of the smartest fighters out there esp. when it involves money... very slim chance he would fight any of the top welterweights that include mosley, williams, cotto, or margarito... too much RISK and less money for what he would get in a mega match if he either fights the winner of hatton or pacman... defeating marquez would build up a story for him as defeating one of the best pound for pound and eventually fighting the winner of tonights fight... what a clever man and once again he would retire, and the true boxing fan would once wish and think of what any of the outcomes would have been if he faced at least one of those top four welterweights...

    Williams presents the greatest difficutly style ise becasue of his size and work rate, but if he can be timed like in the quintana fight then he will lose. Mosley, has no shot. he an agressive fighter, but he will outboxed easily just like Winky did to him. Cotto would be outboxed as well.
