Is there any fighter, past or present that could beat Mayweather? I think a fighter who matches him in athleticism and has fast hands and feet could trouble him the most, as shown by Zab Judah. Though, Mayweather's relative lack of experience with southpaws probably played a part in Judah troubling him as well.
i never get why people say that it was a close fight, could have gone either way unfortunately for castillo it went to the champion. To be fair floyd gave him a rematch and made sure to leave no doubts in our mind. But your hate is that blind? Damn if thats the case then JMM definitely beat the brakes off pacman in fight 3
The only threat 2day would be Canelo and that's a small threat other then that no one.As 4 PAST fighters the names that immediately come to mind are SRR,SRL,HEARNS.
It went to the champion? ??!?!?:roflatsch Did you even watch the fight? !?atsch Castillo was the champ.atsch That s whats ironic. Gave void a beating and got robbed of his championship....atsch
It wasn't lack of experience, it was the fact that Judah has quick handspeed and footwork. Instead of trying to counter-punch Mayweather he threw left hand leads, countered with the left hook over Mayweather's Jab, doubled up the Jab with combinations before falling off in the mid rounds. If you notice the knockdown was a combination of Judah's speed, he countered Mayweather with a right hook.

Hearns would be the worst possible opponent for Mayweather. Leonard should also be favoured against him. Duran and Whitaker would also have good chances of beating him. I can't think of any current fighter that I would favour against Mayweather, though. He was counterpunching Mayweather in the early rounds. Mayweather was falling in with his attacks, and Judah was using the straight left and left uppercut to counter. If Judah had been more aggressive, it would have actually benefited Mayweather, because Mayweather is at his best when opponents come to him and give him chances to counter them. Judah is probably the only fighter I've seen who has been able to outbox and counter a prime Mayweather for a few rounds.
Either Sugar would stop him. Hearns or Hagler would as well. Chavez Sr would beat him, as would prime DelHoya. Today, only Pacqioua, Canelo, and Matthysee could do it. The counterpunchers aint got the ambition to take it to him. If Khan wouldnt get to shaky over punches, he could as well, but he'd likely be sparked out inside 2 rds from a counter L hand.:think
Canelo beats Floyd, his fans know it thats why they are spending so much of their time saying Floyd shouldnt fight him he is too big... if they were confident in their man they would push for this fight... because it makes the most sense both undefeated, both have a following huge money to be made huge international exposure. there is not one single reason to not jump on this fight unless your scared shitless

At lightweight, I have little down a Mayweather who struggled with Castillo would get TKO'd if not KO'd by the Duran that fought Esteben Dejesus
