    Can you imagine Leonard and Hoya going all out for 3 minutes flat. No saving energy, ...... No chance Mayweather has a moment to counter.

    Margarito - Going all out would be insane as well, he is tall and powerful, and has a chin he could leave open.

    Cuevas could spark him at any moment, Terry Norris could speed blitz him. Trinidad could do it as well.

    All I have to do is think of fighters Mayweather avoided ( taller, in prime, strong) add in a little speed with a solid chin, and Mayweather can do nothing but run.

    I think there are several fighters that could do it, and we have not specified the ring size. If it is small, I see even more fighters with a chance to spark Floyd.

    Anybody can be knocked out Period, whether its one round, 2 rounds or 3 rounds. My pick would be Julian jackson or hearns. The great Duran was knocked out COLD by Hearns in 2 rounds. ,Shane ROCKED floyd in the 2nd, and that was an older Shane. If anyone could do it...it would be one of the 2 i mention

    Robinson going all out with his awesome combo of speed and power would be my pick.

    I know it was just an example, but FREITAS!? Chico hit harder at 130 and so did Shane up at 147.

    Stopping Floyd Mayweather jr in a weight class that he can make and fight comfortably is a tall order, stopping him in 1 round seems almost mythical.

    Literally the only person that springs to mind is perhaps Tommy Hearns if they met at 154.

    No one os stopping Mayweather in a round from any of the divisions he fought in .. Hearn's , forget it .. he could barely land flush on Ray Leonard in their two bouts .. anyone thinking he's landing on Floyd out of other gate is dreaming .. I feel Floyd is over rated at 147 by many but he was an exceptional fighter, lightning fast and next to impossible to hit flush from what we've seen .. and when he was like against Mosley he took there punch well.

    Leonard was running quite a bit in those early rounds. Floyd may adopt a similar tactic.

    I don't know if anyone could but I would choose Ray Leaonard. SRL had the power, speed and smarts. If he knew he only had three minutes he wouldn't waste any time. He would force Floyd to fight and once Mayweather came out of his shell he would be vulnerable.

    Extremely difficult if not near impossible to knockout a fighter like Mayweather who will just cover up, bob and weave, and shoulder roll, without any intentions to mount an offensive attack himself in the face of an all out assault by a fighter to knock him out in one round.
    The fighter witht the best chance to do it would be Tommy Hearns at 154 lbs. Not only would Hearns have an enormous weight advantage at that weight but his freakish height and reach characteristics makes it possible to reach Mayweather when he's contorting his upper body and head back while shoulder rolling.

    If they had fought for real at 154 lbs, imo Mayweather would'nt see the middle rounds, but to ask him to ko Mayweather in one round against a fighter thats not going to throw a single punch back at him would be asking a bit much imo.
