    Prime for prime Ricardo Mayorga was a tank. Killer instinct, brutal power, cast iron jaw, speed, and the perfect style of offset a fighter like Floyd who relies on having a set comfort zone and sticking to a plan. No way am I saying he does beat him but this is boxing.

    I don't know about 147.

    At 154, the Mayorga that fought Shane would make a very interesting fight with the Mayweather that fought Oscar.

    I agree with Mayorga being a tank. The strongest WW ive seen. Tossed Forrest down to the mat one time like a ragdoll. Still, if Spinks figured him out I wouldn't be surprised if May got a relatively boring decision.

    Mayweather would duck under Mayorga's punches for the most part. Floyd would have to do some holding, but he would win a decision

    Spinks didn't really figure him out, just figured out he had to run a marathon to squeak out a controversial decision.

    What??? Seriously?

    Honestly, Mayorga would barely land a single shot against Mayweather. PBF would get one of his rare KOs in this one, and if not, Mayorga would probably get out-landed by about 200 punches if it went the distance.

    Great brawlers have thrown the monkeywrench in the machine before as regards to great tacticians. Mayorga would have rocked Floyd for sure and at least thrown him into a whirlwind for at least the first four rounds. I would have to say Floyd wins this because he's Floyd but damn this is a fight I would like to have seen. That overhand right of Mayorga's is a killer and his spastic bliztkrieg assault would seem to come from everywhere and nowhere for Floyd. Floyd would probably be thinking, "Who the **** is this muther--?"
    The 24/7 would have been epic!

    This would be an interesting fight. Mayorga's unorthodox, crazy style would take Floyd off guard for a few rounds. He'd maybe even rock Floyd once or twice. I think Floyd would figure him out eventually and win a UD.

    I can just see the pre-fight buildup now. Mayorga speaking Spanish and Mayweather speaking ghetto. Both camps barking threats. I truely believe Ricardo could offset Floyd's rhythm and score a KD. While Floyd would 99% sure win a decision, he would be roughed up in the process and look like ****.

    No, plain and simple. He would not land a glove on Mayweather the whole fight... I'd bet the bank on that.

    Come on. That's harsh especially considering the way he threw punches. Mayweather would get hit. To many strange angles.

    No, Vernon was there to be hit, Floyd isnt, and he's got these little chopping punches on the inside, which would get to Mayorga, the same way Oscars did, when he launces his looping bombs.
