    If you could pick anyone in history to fight Mayweather at 147, who would you choose as having the best chance to win? Also, an unrelated question, but do you think the Cus D'Amato peekaboo style could potentially work well against Mayweather's shoulder roll defense?

    Jose Napoles and Emile Griffith would have great chances. Both very skilled technicians. Griffith with a great jab and excellent ring IQ. I think stylistically Napoles is all wrong for floyd.

    Ussain Bolt. He runs better. If he learns how to clinch too, Floyd is neutralized and its a 120-108.

    Hearns for me very tall great jab good on his feet and one punch ko power. As good as Floyd's defense and counter punching are i think tommy would be too big and would jab him to pieces until the right landed and good night .
    He is all wrong for floyd but dont think that i dont rate floyd as a great boxer he is but hears is all wrong for him
    Hearns tko mayweather rd 8

    I think Vernon Forrest prime for prime would trouble him something fierce.

    Hearns is a tough out for anyone.

    Leonard.

    Marg couldn't contend with Mosley. Gets far too much respect - he has one quality win on his entire CV.

    Khan doesn't get near him either.
