Best Middleweight Floyd Mayweather can beat?

Perhaps he could out point Jake LaMotta. Maybe. Certainly isn't stopping him.

 

What a fight that would have been.

 

Nah a big physically powerful swarmer would be poison for Mayweather I don't see Mayweather beating LaMotta especially with no catchweight BS.

As for the thread I don't see Mayweather beating many notable Middleweights without a catch weight clause.

 

Yeah I'm not convinced that he would beat LaMotta. Just throwing out a name

 

i'd pick him to beat graziano

 

I'm thinking some more recent guys like Sergio Martinez who moved up to the class, Felix Sturm, maybe Jermaine Taylor who Cory Spinks befuddled

 

I thought of Sergio too, how do you think Floyd would go against Pavlik?

 

Good question, Pavlik hits very hard but he is a very basic 1-2-3 guy Floyd likely could predict and counter however he’s also huge compared to Floyd I know size don’t mean everything but at a point I figure he catches Floyd or is effective enough with the jab

 

Dick Tiger
Miguel Cotto
Stanley Ketchel
These are the best MWs I'd pick Floyd over. Emile Griffith is 50/50.

 

Vito Antuofermo,I felt like the ones lachbuster said could've gone either way too,all deadly pressure machine.

 

Maybe Arthur Abraham.

 

Nino Benvenuti is probably the most well regarded middle that I think Floyd could have a good shot of beating.

 

Jake LaMotta beat better than Mayweather… on the inside where it will stay will be VERY rough and one sided.

 

Holy what! Tiger I sort of see? Emile Griffith was a step up (and really a 147lber) he’s the best boxer of the 60s… maybe Napoles but still, Griffith would beat him up badly when he wasn’t outboxing him at any range. I try very hard to he real, I give Mayweather his flowers he is a great! but he is NOT on THAT level.
