4. Mayweather-Bob Montgomery: Mayweather UD

5. Mayweather-Beau Jack: Mayweather UD

6. Mayweather-Ike Williams: Williams UD

7. Mayweather-Joe Brown: PBF by UD

8. Mayweather-Carlos Ortiz: Can't say, haven't seen enough of Ortiz

9. Mayweather-Roberto Duran: Duran by UD/late stoppage

10. Mayweather-Pernell Whitaker: Whitaker UD

I haven't seen enough of Gans, but based on historical accounts, I don't see how they'd pick PBF. Haven't seen enough of Ortiz. I really haven't seen enough of Joe Brown so I'm giving one to PBF.

Sweet Pea, you said Oscar was beating PBF thru 7. I agree. You said he gassed. Serious question. There were 2 fights: PBF and Trinidad where I think Oscar possibly made a decision where he wasn't willing to do whatever it takes (put himself in harms way) to win the fight. Your thoughts?

 

Whitaker and Duran are the only 2 who stand a shot of winning. Whitaker the only as a strong favourate

 

Mayweather against southpaws like Judah and Mitchell has switched to a pressure fighter. Floyd is bigger, stronger and the bigger puncher than Whitaker so I see him stalking the better mover in Sweet Pea. I agree Floyd would have problems with the better footwork and reactions of Whitaker, who I agree would edge out the early rounds being 5-2 up by the 7th round, I see Floyd edging out the later rounds but it finnishing around a 7-5 for Whitaker. Overall Floyd would land the better shots, but Whitaker outlands. Allot of missed punches from both.

 

I go back and forth on Mayweather-Duran, today I see Mayweather pot shots from the outside and sets traps and counters with Duran missing too much, some days I see Durans excellent defense and pinpoint pressure outdoing Mayweather but today I feel PBF Benitez's Duran
