    Hell no. He would just end up getting his ass whooped. Mayweather has the perfect offesive arsenal to fight a lefty. I think he and Hopkins are the best orthodox fighters in terms of dealing with lefties. A lefty without respectable power stands little chance against Floyd.

    Yes, Spinks can give Mayweather trouble with his movement, quick jab, and southpaw stance. It's a fight that doesn't bring much money, so it will never happen, but despite the reputation both have for being boring (Spinks more so), I'd love to see it.

    I think Mayweather would pressure him much the way he did against Zab Judah since Spinks cannot hurt him. He'd have success with his straight right hand lead. Floyd is a more versatile fighter and is a proven adjuster. I'd give him the edge actually. In my estimation, Floyd would seal it down the stretch.

    i think Mayweather would knock him out.

    especially if Spinks throws punches like he's doing now.

    speed for speed? ... Corey Spinks is proven ... i'm not going to be bias in this situation, I wanna hear what people think.

    he can box and he's not easily moved out there ... i'm pretty sure he would come in confident, I mean he fought for the middleweight crown and I think he won.

    is this a fight that would give Floyd trouble?

    I'd love to see this fight ... its a true boxing match and if you appreciate boxing then this is fight that should be in demand.

    No matter if Floyd knocks him out or not ... Corey would hold his own and win some rounds.

    As much as I hate Floyd and as over rated I think he is, I think he beats Spinks pretty easily. Spinks is complete garbage.

    no one thinks that Spinks can do anything?

    i'm shocked ... I think that he would put up a better fight then Zab and Hatton. He has better skill than the two ... he's faster than the two and is accomplished.

    I think Spinks is smashin this guy right now and is punching accurately ... he's showing a good chin and isn't running ...

    Verno Phillips is collecting social security at the moment, Spinks better be able to dominate a senior citizen.
