top 5 people you want to see Mayweather fight...

Rosie O'Donnell

You did say "people'.

If we're restricting it to fighters...
Hatton
Cotto
Mosley
Williams
don't care
IN THAT ORDER

 

Yeah - I think that Floyd just would jump up and bite Klitschko in his knee - so easy win for Floyd. Interesting. :bbb

 

1. Hopkins - total fantasy fight I know but if Mayweather could get up to middle and Hopkins could get down it would be great

2. Mosley - super fast and very smart i think he could be mayweathers worst nightmare

4. Williams - his size could really annoy mayweather

5. Hatton - if hatton can get his hit and grab style to work he might give Mayweather a though night

3. Cotto - i really dont think cotto would win but it should be a good fight

 

I read that as

'five people who want to see Mayweather fight' :yep

 

This would not be a great fight. Nard would kick little Floyd's ass. One advantage Mayweather had over all his previous opponents was ring intelligence. He would not have this advantage over Nard. Nard would use his size and ring intelligence to totally befuddle Floyd. My prediction for this fantasy matchup, Nard UD 118-110. B-Hop is an ATG and they should give him back his P4P title.

 

I don't think at this stage that Margarito has a claim on this fight: perhaps we all just like a top 5 more than a top 4, but I think it really is the 4:
1 Mosley (the best claim imho to be better than Floyd at boxing)
2 Hatton (I think he'll lose, but I just think his smothering active style would be really good against Floyd's hanging back and pot-shotting)
3 Cotto (If a pure pressure fighter can beat him, then Miguel should be that fighter)
4 Williams (I think he's done enough to earn it, and with the right trainer, using his physique correctly he could give Floyd nightmares, it'd be all about the jab, but without this he'd lose: Floyd is a bit good...)

 

In order of how he should fight them . Asumeing he would retire after the fith fight and that he wins them all. (weight limit for fight)
1.Shane Mosley (147). Posibily the cloest thing to a Mayweather clone. Spared with Oscar De La Hoya for Mayweather fight.

2. Ricky Hatton (143-5) Hatton seemes to fight his best aginst the best (Kostya Tszyu & Jose Luis Castillo)

3. Winky Wright (154) Another tempory return to Jr. Middleweight.

4. Kermit Cintron (147) Cintron will upset Cotto to get a shot at Mayweather

5. Paul Williams (147) Willams hight or reach will give any welterweight problems.

6. (if he fights on) Alfonso Gomez (147).

 

whats not good about that :huh

 

1. Miguel Cotto
2. Shane Mosley
3. Paul Williams
4. Ricky Hatton
5a. Kermit Cintron
b. Cory Spinks @ 154

 

personally i would love it to be

1. Cotto he deserves a shot at PBF.
2. Mosley
3. Cintron
4. Williams
5. Hatton last.

 

1. Cotto 2. Cotto. 3. Cotto. 4. Williams. 5. HattonSeriously Mosely won't beat Floyd or do that much for his legacy. Mosely has been beaten before and when floyd does it he will be written off as old anyway. Floyd is the better boxer of the two, and Shane won't be able to adapt. Floyd will win it off his jab. Cotto is the toughest fight right now for Mayweather as he applies EFFECTIVE pressure. He will throw to the body in combinations and unlike Oscar will do it constantly without relenting. Cotto by narrow UD. Williams would be a stylistic nightmare for Floyd due to his reach and punch output. Floyd would be forced to fight on the front foot more then ever before. While I think he can do it I can see him having big problems working him out. Hatton poses a tough fight if he holds all night, although personally I think floyd will counter punch and move all night long for a wide UD.

 

Call me crazy, but I would like to see Mayweather-Malignaggi at 140. I know Floyd would win, but it would be fun to see so much combined speed in the ring.

 

1) Cotto - I want to see the wrecking ball beat pretty boys face in. Cotto cuts off the ring extremely well so pretty boy will eventually get tracked down
2) Hatton - His style will give Floyd trouble and his "hugging" and other little quirks could throw Floyd off his game (unlikely though)
3) Paul Williams - Extremely athletic and wont run out of steam in later rounds. Physical nightmare for Floyd (but I still have Floyd winning at this stage in Williams career)
4) Mosley - I have Mosley last on my list of four because as people stated above - even if Floyd wins then everyone will grumble because Mosley is "past his prime".

To be honest I think the only person out of all these lists can beat PBF is Cotto. He is an amazing fighter entering his prime. I think he has the skill set to beat Floyd. As we all know there is no one out there who can beat PBF at his own game so I think it will take a constant pressure type who can cut off the ring that still posseses a boxer mentality (not a brawler) to beat up Floyd. While watching Cotto in his last few fights he looked a lot like Marvin Hagler to me. Anyone else ever catch that vibe or is it just me?

 

Mosley
Cotto
Cintron
Clottey
Hatton (Just to see what happens when he cannot clinch)

 

I've seen comparisons made to Julio Cesar Chavez, Edwin Rosario, and Marvin Hagler when it comes to Cotto, so no, you are not alone:good
