firstly i would like to say that i am a fan of the way floyd fights, his subtle defense etc. i dont hate mayweather but i wanted him to lose his last fight, simply cos he was so arrogant in the 24/7. these are my 3 guys i pick to give floyd a solid fight! imho i think there are only 3 men who have a solid chance of beating floyd. 1)miguel cotto- simply because he isnt too full of himself like jeff lacy was, he knows he can bang, so he simply boxes when he needs to and bangs when he needs to. i didnt think this guy could properly hang with judah or mosley, but he did, NO PROBLEMO! he is a smart fighter, if he uses his speed, POWER, and pressure in a subtle way, like he usually does then he can make floyd quit. cotto always finds a way to win. this fight would be massive of it is made. 2)paul williams- this guy has a bit of experience, he can take it. he has a high workrate, ALONG REACH, he is over 6'0 feet tall, and he can hurt floyd, he is undefeated (mentally strong) and he is a southpaw! this is a guy floyd is also gonna run from, more than from cotto, simply cos floyd prefers to fight smaller aggressive fighters. this fight probably wont be as big as mayweather - cotto 3) Junior witter- this guy is shockingly UNDERRATED!! i dont know how many fights the americans have seen of this guy? he may not sell tickets,but he sure stands a big chance. he is mentally strong and focused, helnows how to put the opponents off with mind games (watch corley fight). he is fast with power and has a awkward brendan ingle style defense. in his last two MAIN fights he easily beat chop chop corley and sparked vivian harris. the problem here is, people dont know who the hell is junior witter. he fights once in a blue moon, and when he does, you've forgotten about it as soon as the last bell rings. it wont be a big fight. the only person who will pay for a ticket are a few mayweather haters and a couple of witter family members! if mayweather takes this fight then i have alot of respect for him because it wont make him as much money as a showdown with cotto but it will be one competitive fight, NO DOUBT! what do you think?
I think out of that list I'd give Paul the best chance because of his height + reach +volume may give Mayweather some trouble possibly winning a UD because he's very busy and Mayweather ain't gonna hurt him. Cotto would lose a UD Witter would get schooled
Come on. You know Spinks has no power. You know that all he has is a flicker jab. Yet he still makes mofos look silly all while winning rounds. :yep
thats also a good list but i dont see him fighting forrest simply cos forrest causes him similar problems to williams and little reward. and spinks simply isnt in the picture yet, he has a great chance tho! anyone who says witter will get schooled, is crazy. i dont know when people will learn that britain is also the capital of boxing which produces great fighters. you only seem to realise when we whoop your best boxers, and even then you still forget!:deal
