    ****!

    I forgot about Tszyu - here Floyd would be up against a guy who won't be drawn into chasing him around the ring. This may spook him a little, forcing him to come into the range of Kostya's dynamite right hand.

    I couldn't see Floyd getting on his chest and staying there, forcing the roundhouse right rather than the straight one, in the manner that Vince Phillips and Hatton did - he just isn't that kind of fighter.

    I wouldn't bet on Tszyu to do it, but certainly would have a better chance than most.

    Right now Cotto
    4-8 years ago Kostya Tszyu floors PBF quicker than he did Zab

    Cotto would break Mayweather down and stop him late.

    Yes he would......the ownage would be on par with MAB-Hamed only this one would end in a KO......after Floyd regains conciousness he'll wish he stayed in wrestling:yep

    At this moment in time, I would have to say Miguel Cotto or Vernon Forrest. Forrest is older and past his prime, but he has looked better recently, but I just don't think he has enough in the tank to beat Floyd Mayweather at this stage in his career, although I think he would give him some trouble throughout the fight. Cotto has proven that no one deserves more of a chance at Floyd Mayweather than him, Cotto has very good boxing skills, and a very good jab which he knows how to use effectively. Cotto knows he would have to cut off the ring and knows how to do that, so I think Cotto would give Mayweather his biggest test.

    What? No one thinks Manny Pacquiao? Many think that he can beat God so why not PBF?

    Williams and Cotto.

    Even though Williams's defense sucks and he lost his last time out, it did help Quintana that he's left-handed.

    Williams's leaky defense is even more leaky against southpaws.

    Old shot midget Shambra Mitchell was able to tag Williams with some very good shots in the 2nd round.

    Yeah course he would, i mean judah defence and chin are just so much better than floyds:patsch :patsch

    Best chance at moment is cotto, have mayweather slight favourite though, many all time could beat floyd at 147 though, just don't see anyone at the moment doing it with exception of perhaps miguel

    kelly pavlik or any top 5 middle weight.vf loss to ike i think.and then he fought carlos which is a fighter that made him look good and then his last fight was against a decent fighter who never been stoped before, to me thats why he was decent.

    prime non injured vf vs pbf would be good fight for pbf.
