    * Floyd Mayweather
    * Shane Mosley
    * Paul Williams

    Not saying they WOULD beat Pacquiao, but they are capable of it given their skills and physical characteristics.

    Thoughts? Any more names to add to the list?

    I think all of them would beat him, bar MAYBE Mosley.

    I agree, SSM is the most suspect of the bunch. Still, big power, excellent chin and very good speed. Manny would have to take some real shots to win.

    Paul Williams no longer qualifies as a 147 pound fighter.

    I would slightly favor Mosley, and favor Mayweather.

    I think Williams could be talked into making 147 if he were offered some Pac money to do so.

    Bring'em all on. I think Pac STOPS FLoyd, Mosley, and I'd like to see the fight with Paul Williams @ '47 let alone '45. I think Pac lights him up.

    Paul Wiliams ain't no Welterweight. The other two would beat Manny, though...in my judgment.

    I love Shane, but I think Manny would be too much for him at this point.

    Williams would be a freak show. No interest.

    Floyd... wow. After last night, I have to rethink that one also.

    :rofl:rofl

    ****in nut huggers come out of the wood works.

    Manny is not lighting up Paul Williams.

    I think Manny could beat Shane and would have a real real chance at beating Mayweather

    Williams making 147 is about as likely as Pacquiao going back down to featherweight

    I think Pac would stop Shane and lose to MW on a close decision

    Sounds weird, and I don't see it either, but we have to start thinking of Manny as a true WW now. Shane is no more a defensive wizard than Cotto was. He'd be getting hit a whole bunch by Manny, and that's just not a good thing these days.

    His chin is far and away better than Cotto's. Pac didn't stop Cotto till round 12 and Shane is faster bigger, stronger, more accurate and more confident than Cotto these days.

    Pac could beat him but he is not stopping Shane Mosley.

    not to mention SSM might be juicing still with some new designer drug from a balco like company.
     
  15. There is no way in hell that Mayweather can win a fight against Pacquiao. It just cannot happen. He's not a special fighter just a special boxer. I hope he gets knocked out. He's such a coward.
