    People say Floyd didn't fight that many fast fighters.

    Well, other than Khan and Pacquiao, who could Floyd have fought that was noted for being particularly fast?

    Manny didn't fight the fast or prime version of PBF. I love how you leave that out to further your agenda.

    He faced enough fast fighters throughout his career to make it quite clear to us he had that aspect of his opposition covered. If there was somebody too fast for Floyd we would of known about it. Anybody saying Amir Khan, please give it a rest.

    A prime Pacquiao would of been interesting, the fight happened 6 years too late as far as im concerned and that was clearly down to Mayweather but from what i saw of the fight Mayweather made Pacquiao look really slow and to be honest seriously average.

    Khan is fast, but he's one-dimensional.

    Yes. Zab beat Floyd to the punch, until May made the proper adjustments.

    A 135 pound Shane Mosley presents stylistic problems for Floyd. Because of his speed, power and chin at 135 he presents problems. If he was a swarmer like Castillo it would have been an even bigger threat.

    I won't say there was any massive stylistic threat to Mayweather during his career. Some guys could have potentially gone either way.

    Pacquiao in his prime had he been naturally bigger man may have been a stylistic threat, but his lack of a great inside game and size makes it iffy.

    Prime DLH can beat him using his size and control range with jab. Prime Duran at 130-147 smothers him, beats him and then forces an accumulation TKO. There is just no way Mayweather could have beaten Duran at 130-147. Plus Duran was actually pretty fast.

    How did you manage to mention Duran?? the guy said what fast fighters could he have fought..Duran was not an option and Oscar and Mosley avoided Floyd like the plague
