    Can he be beaten? By who? how exactly?

    Will Mayweather ever lose before retiring FOR GOOD?

    PACMAN has the best chance..if margo isnt a cheater his size/pressure would give him a chance also paul willaims size would give him alot of problems and the thing with PW is he is a solid boxer and can punch a little

    I agree that Pac and Margarito would give Mayweather some problems, maybe Mosley as well. As for Williams, I don't think hes that good of cutting off the ring especially the kind that would be needed for fighting someone like mayweather who constantly changes his rhythm constantly throughout the course of the fight. I think Floyd would win a decision based on technical boxing ability

    Pac would get beat down against Mayweather. Williams for damn sure would pose a serious threat. Mosley and Cotto would give him a run as well.

    Why are you so certain that PAC would get beat down?

    Castillo arguably beat him already.

    DLH fought a close decision as did Zabdiel.

    Ofcourse he can be beaten, what the hell kind of a question are you asking exactly?

    Why do you say Pac would get beat down? Zab gave PBF trouble early on in their fight but tired down the stretch. Pac is just as fast and strong as Zab but he wont tire as Zab did. I think your wrong here.

    Mosley has a great chance i feel, hes fast and powerful, he will be a difficult target for PBF and i hope this fight happens.

    Agree with this... I don't understand where all this "Pac has the best chance of beating Floyd" comes from. Williams would be his biggest challenge IMO.

    Did you watch the Marquez fights? Everything that Marquez did to trouble Pac in that fight, Mayweather does just as well as better. On the flip side, Mayweather has better defense, speed and reflexes. He wouldn't be getting hit with many of those shots that Marquez was getting hit by. Floyd is also bigger and stronger than Pac as well. How is a smaller, weaker guy going to beat Mayweather? Pac can't bully him and he can't outbox him.

    Yes he can be beat ...

    No he won't be beat by anyone out there ...

    Mosley can't outbox him
    Cotto can't out fight him
    Margarito is too slow and not skilled enough
    Berto's too green
    Williams might not ever fight at welterweight again - especially with the likes of Chad Dawson saying a fight between the two would be a fight he'd like into in the future.

    Maybe its b/c PBF only managed to get a SD over DLH, while Pac destroyed him.

    Mosley isn't as skilled as Mayweather ... its proven when he goes up against boxers he has a tough time ad******g to the style ... he's footwork is poor ... he's stiff ... and he gets hit alot. (by choice)

    Cotto wouldn't last the full 12 rounds against PBF ... he'll get picked apart

    Pacquiao isn't skilled enough either ... he has so many flaws technically all he would do is get exposed.

    These guys don't have good defensive skills and would get hit alot ... Shane always seems tense in the ring and doesn't have a relaxed approach ... Cotto seems relaxed but doesn't know how to protect himself ... when he's hurt ... he doesn't give himself time to recover ... he just exchanges ...

    Well then, I guess he should just stay retired since no one out there can beat him.
