    South of 160? Martinez is past it
    Canelo has a good shot
    Or maybe some other 154 fighter like perhaps lara

    No one can beat floyd at welterweight where floyd is at his best... No pac no matthyse no garcia....

    Khan could beat him on work rate and because mayweather has feather fists so can't hurt khan

    Paul Williams would have ko him in one round, that's why mayweather ran

    Only GGG and thats because he has Dinamita on his hands and size advantage

    This is just a silly post. Williams KO's him in 1 round?? I truly wonder how much boxing you actually watch if you think someone in the WW division could KO FLoyd in general, let alone in 1 round.

    And Khan would get knocked out within 5 rounds. Did you see that abysmal performance he had against Diaz? No doubt in my mind FLoyd would knock him down with a counter punch in the mid rounds, Khan would get up and make the count, and than FLoyd would finish him off.

    Khan has been exposed since the Prescott fight, I'd imagine FLoyd would be at least a 10-1 favorite in that fight.

    As for Pacman, at their peaks I favored Floyd about 60-40. At this juncture with Pacman coming off a loss (I don't consider the Bradley fight a loss whatsoever, just the JMM one,) I'd say Floyd is a 70-30 favorite.

    Pac? he has issues with counter puncher, he was sent to Lala land by Marquez a great counter puncher, Floyd does what marquez does but at a higher level..

    Khan? Khan? China Chin Khan? Jesus... :rofl

    and Paul williams was a freak, but he does not box any longer, there is a reason Pac Ducked him..

    Martinez at 154 (as opposed to Cotto) was a fight that would really have elevated Mayweathers ATG ranking - a genuine risk

    Wouldnt favour anyone at 154, not even Canelo

    And Matthyse might have the crazy hype of late, but he's chicken feed for Floyd

    Pacquiao could've done him around 2008... or at the very least would've been his biggest risk to date. There's a reason he retired for a few years.

    Well regardless of the reasons the facts are

    Floyd dodged the biggest fights that could have made him re greatest of all time

    He didnt fight Moseley or dlh prime
    Winky wright
    Margarito or cotto prime

    And he shat his pants against Williams and pacquiao

    Shambe Mitchell is a great fighter but he's not exactly goat maker material

    Alvarez, Lara, Pacquiao. All of these guys have a legit shot at beating Mayweather. In reality though, Floyd is going on 37. He will be more and more vulnerable every time he enters the ring. He isn't quite as quick, the punches aren't missing by as wide of a margin as they were before. He's going to get caught eventually.

    When were Mosley and Hoya in their prime? When should he have fought Winky or Williams? How come Cotto turned down a fight with Mayweather when they were both champions at 140, and made no effort to fight Mayweather when they were at 147?

    Margarito was the reason he "retired"
