What does the fighter who can beat Floyd look like?

Yep. Pacquaio does have a lot of the MANDATORY requirements except that his defense is at best average that consist of hands up and bob and weave left to right. He would be killed by Floyd's right hand.

+ i never thought that he have an iron chin like a lot of the people think he does. I see his neck get snap back by a lot of his previous opponents.

 

Tommy Hearns is by far Mayweathers worst possible matchup.

Mayweather would be at a height, reach, and power disadvantage against a guy with one of the nastiest right hands in the history of boxing. Who could box very well and knew how to use his frame.

He was easily out boxing Leonard in their first encounter but Leonard had a much better chin at that level compared to Hearns and was willing to take a shot to give a shot. Also I think Hearns was punching himself out trying to KO SRL? Can't quite remember right now.

IMHO Out of the Fab-4 (not really including Hagler because no way in hell does he dare **** with a middleweight... Especially MMH) Hearns would be the dude I realistically cannot see MW beating. He could potentially beat both Duran, and Leonard in very close decisions, but Hearns... Hearns could probably KO Mayweather. So could Leonard and Duran but I see Mayweather doing good against SRL and Duran. Holding his own and making **** close.

But Hitman kills Mayweather.

 

Pac is the one who can beat, but he ducked him while the welterweight was hot back in the days.

 

He must not be drained and is hydrated.

 

Thomas Hearns, but one thing is sure no one in history would have easy time with Floyd, i beloeve his fight with SRL would be one of the greatest ever, Sugar would win close IMO but it would be hell of a fight. I truly believe that we sometimes underrate Floyd and his skills he maybe doesnt have the best resume in this generation but he is the best fighter without a doubt!!!

 

He looked like this, but Floyd saw him first and ducked him:

Roberto Duran circa 1972

Relentless pressure and power

 

This is rubbish. One-punch KO power? Why is tht important against Floyd? Floyd has great defence u moron. I agree with point 2 and that is it.

The fighter to beat Floyd needs 1) great speed 2) combinations 3) great stamina 4) mental discipline. Southpaw is a bonus. Pacquiao basically.

 

Floyd eats these guys up. It's his favourite style to fight against.

 

Vasyl Lomanchenko in 6 years, he'd be 31 and Floyd would be what 42, if he's got Hopkins ability and desire to keep going. I'm being frivolous of course.

 

Zab Judah with better stamina and better ring IQ
