    Mayweather/Spinks will never happen, but as boring as Spinks may be, I would absolutely love to see this fight.

    Witter fights like a boot leg version of Hamed , and no Im not a fan of mayweather at all I wanted Hatton to beat him. his defence has crap load of holes , he would get countered all night.

    Yep. Spinks is a southpaw with good reach, jab, speed, movement and defense. He would give PBF some problems because of it. It would be interesting to see how PBF would react to a defensive fighter like Spinks.

    How do you think Floyd would adjust to Spinks' style? Would he put pressure on him or do you think he could outbox him?

    I think a little of both but when he finds out that Spinks couldn't hurt him he would open up a lot more and probaly try and walk him down like he did Zab. The thing is that Spinks is a very smart fighter unlike Zab and has an excellent jab and is more than capable of countering PBF just as PBF can counter him. This fight would be a great chess match I would love to see it.

    spinks uses the same defensive moves as mayweather as the proper boxing fans will have noticed. it will be interesting to see how he deals with his own medicine. the best mayweather can do, is not fight spinks.

    Here's my three- Klitschko
    Valuev
    The other Klitschko

    I don't even like the dude, just being realistic, Cotto would get dismantled, Williams would make it a good fight, but probably still end up on the losing end of a UD. And Witter, well, Witter should be fighting Matthew Hatton...

    Vernon Forrest and Paul Williams could frustrate PBF with their size and reach - much in the same way that Tommy Hearns frustrated Sugar Ray Leonard before he was TKO'd in the 14th round.

    And Cory Spinks deserves mention as being the only other fighter with the boxing savvy to offset Mayweather.

    Of the three - I think Williams stands the best chance of beating Floyd at the present. However, with PBF at the stated end of his career, I don't see Williams gaining enough recognition to earn a shot at PBF before he really does retire.

    We will most likely see Cotto get a shot at PBF - only to lose by UD.
