    Being that Mosely has little skills outside of his speed and athleticism, DLH could never deal with a mover, Trinidad was one dimensional, and Cotto doesn't get a shot... I am curious just who you do favor to beat him in the great history of the 147lb division?

    No sir. After reading the Mosley thread last night I had to pose the question.

    I'm a HUGE Mayweather fan.

    Anyway, Clyde Gordon.

    just kidding. He always starts threads like this, but I think he's banned now.

    BTW: Only God beats PBF, didn't you know?

    Ray Leonard

    Mayweather vs. Curry and Starling @ 147 are very interesting matchups, although I suspect PBF-Starling would be a miss/block fest like PBF-DLH was last year.

    Good list but i have to disagree on Ike. He gets easily outboxed by PBF

    No he dosen't. PBF outboxes God (it's all conditioning baby! While God was resting after 6 hard days, PBF was still in the gym).

    :nut :lol:

    Critical thinking, questioning, and reasoning? Floyd fans???:lol: Well, there are a FEW, but very few. Wonder what those capable will do if Cotto beats Margarito and PBF try's to rematch Hatton? Think they'll convert?:think

    Wont be nothing left but:klitfanb: :klitfanb: :klitfanb: :klitfanb: :klitfanb: :asskiss

    Mayweather and Starling would be an interesting fight. I suspect Mayweather would have trouble penetrating Starling's shell defense, but at the same time, Starling would have trouble hitting Mayweather. Both are great counterpunchers, too, with Floyd having an edge in that department plus overall quickness.
