    I believe that Sugar Shane Mosley is the one who could beat Mayweather.

    He would lose.

    Please, leave Mosley alone. He's already 36 years old.

    Mosley would get ouboxed like Cotto did to him.:deal Cotto and Williams have the best chance to beat PBF.

    Let the Shane myth go. He got OUTBOXED by Cotto. Not outslugged etc etc. Beat to the punch every single time. Floyd would do the same.

    Exactly, these are the only fights Floyd needs to make. Mosley is too old, same with DLH rematch, Floyd simply has Hattons number, Cintron wouldn't get it done. Margarito...please

    There is two fights out there right now for Floyd and that is it

    1. Cotto
    2. Williams

    Mosley has about a 20% chance of beating Floyd.
    Cotto would do a lil' better than Hatton and has a 50/50 chance in my book because Hatton showed some vulnerability in Floyd and Cotto is stronger and a bigger puncher. Paul Williams is the guy. He is just too much of everything. I think that he would beat Floyd handily. This is the reason that I see Floyd retiring. The two guys that people want to see Floyd fight are not good business decisions for the Mayweather camp.

    a few years ago, yeah, but not anymore. shane's too old, too easy to hit. mayweather outboxes him easily right now.

    I do not think that Mosley really lost to Cotto.

    I agree with everything you said, except that I don't think Williams would beat Floyd handily. Williams doesn't have a great jab, kind of just flicks it out there, and he's too easy to hit. In that fight I see Floyd timing Williams' jab and countering all night. I think Williams could beat Floyd, but it certainly wouldn't be easy.

    the problem with shane now or then is he cant stop a left jab not mayweather.

    vernon beat shane off a jab
    winky jab shane ears off
    alot of people think oscar beat shane in the 2nd fight and you know what punched he used in that fight, his very own left jab.

    then theres the cotto fight, were to me it was not cotto bodys shots that got shane in trouble, but it was when cotto elected to box he used a left jab and sometimes a straight right handm the punch i think is mayweathers signature punch.

    so you got all these guys he has or should have beat shane with the left jab alone, mixed that with pbf straight right hand and shane will have problems in fact i think he loses a ud to pbf.

    mak the fight for what, so we can here that pbf fighting old men again the fight should have been made in 03 but oh well make tha damn fight.

    Mosley doesn't have the ring intelligence of Floyd, he loses confidence easily if things start not to go his way, and he doesn't capitalize on opportunities in the ring.

    On top of that he's too old and most likely a bit intimidated by mayweather, doesn't have the hunger to beat him.

    Cotto is the perfect combination of will and skill to test floyd, and he's in his prime and is hungry.
