    to be honest i see Mayweather running around and pot-shooting his way to a victory around all these guys. granted Forrest's length and size would give Floyd hell if he couldn't get away, but in the end I don't say it's a definite loss. The only definite loses i c for Floyd are if you brought back a prime Whitaker, Leonard, Hearns or Hagler. Obviously that's not going to happen. Maybe Paul Williams and Duran could beat him as well.

    Either Forrest, maybe either Winky.

    Oscar twice @ 147 and @ 154

    Competitive loss, Oscar gets a close decision in a tedious match.

    Forrest twice @ 147

    Clear loss. Vernon's reach and skill, plus his underrated power, have Mayweather back-pedalling all night and, bar some success countering late on, I see this 8-4 for Vernon.

    Winky twice @ 154

    he beats Winky because he uses lateral movement.

    Vargas twice @ 154

    He beats vargas using movement and his quick hands. Vargas gets cut up for a technical decision loss.

    Cotto @ 147

    I think it's a close one, with Floyd using his superior movement to outbox Cotto late after a stormy middle session. 115-113 Floyd

    Margarito @ 147

    Despite some stormy patches, Floyd's speed and movement again save him. Clear win for Floyd - 9-3

    Collazo @ 147

    Clear Floyd win. Just a much better fighter than Collazo.

    Mayorga @ 154

    I'd say Floyd, but Mayorga's awkward enough to maybe give him a scare a couple of times. The guy can fight at MW, FFS.

    LMAO... your lil friend "Money" just played around with the Jr. Lightweight champion!!!! Couldn't even finish him... now these clowns have the audacity to bring size into the equation. Just shut up. Floyd supporters sound more ignorant every time they open their traps. Whats more baffling is the fact that I'm an avid boxing fan that doesn't like OBVIOUS mismatches and wants FMJ to challenge himself classifies me as a hater. For the record if Floyd doesn't fight a legit welterweight (coming of a win!!!) or Pacquiao I'm keeping my cash in my wallet. I don't care if Jesus Christ is fighting on the undercard. I'm through.

    Hopkins, a LHW, toyed with the MW champion, why didn't he finish him? Maybe because they're tough dudes who have never been KO'd?

    I don't care about your money homey. You can wipe your ass with it for all I care.

    And Shane was unbeatable @ 135, and was over his best weight @ 154. What the hell is your problem?

    If he could have beaten Winky @ 154 that would have been a hell of an accomplishment. I myself am not totally sure if he would have handled Winky or not.

    Yeah, Mayorga weighed like 170 against Shane.

    I agree that most of what you're saying is pretty accurate though. Vernon was just a freak of nature @ 147. At least Shane gave him his shot at a big fight. He had to wait a long time for it like Winky did, and I give Shane a lot of credit for taking both on twice.

    I think Floyd has at least a chance in most of these fights, but I agree with the majority he probably loses to Vernon twice, and maybe Winky.

    I could see him splitting the two fights with prime Oscar. Oscar had an awesome chin.

    I don't really see why Shane should be criticized if he doesn't want to fight Paul Williams right now. Look at who he has already faced. He doesn't want to risk a loss at 38 yrs when he may be close to a mega-bout. He said he may fight Paul later on though, and I wouldn't be surprised. He and Floyd would both be up against it with Williams, especially if he were to beat Pavlik.

    Forrest and Wright give him hell. He beats everyone else.

    True enough, Shane deserves a big money fight in between him going after the real tough, high-risk match-ups.

    You think he'd decision prime Oscar twice @ 147 and @ 154? Quite a few think he'd beat Floyd twice in this scenario, but I was leaning more towards Floyd going at least 1-1.

    Right, I think if he gets a fight with Floyd, win or lose, he will definitely consider a with fight Williams. I mean I have heard him say that.
