    I think there are many styles to beat Floyd.

    Duran, SRL, SRR and Hearns would all be able to do it.

    I'm not even sure SRL would need to hunt him down in order to defeat him, I think SRL would have him figured out.

    that was the green version of cotto back at 140. i'm talking back in 2008 when cotto just beat mosley and floyd just beat hatton. floyd retired rather than fight him. floyd could have beat him and so is pac but the thing is he did not fight them and just retired in both instance.

    he was just a nasty finisher, and if mosley could stun him, SRL sure as hell could, and could follow through afterwards

    Severall styles will beat the most overrated fighter in history Floyd Mayweather. Everyone Floyd ducked would beat him - Cotto, Margarito, Williams, Pacquiao and Martinez. They each have different strengths and attributes and most importantly, a tremendous massive desire to win.

    Floyd prefers to handpick faded flawed set ups just looking for a payday.

    Imagine what someone with the physical ability and the mindset of a prime SRL would do to Manny and Floyd.

    Someone who moved their head for a change, threw in bunches and never stopped coming on.


    Oh ****, better shut the **** up before the *******S actually realize the only thing Mannys opponents have in common is the inability to move their head.

    almost a :good:yep

    ONly disagree that Floyd could not have beaten Cotto. Cotto would have broke him down. Floyd knows this and ducked the fight.

    To beat floyd you need volume,jab size advantage etc. Hearns leonard beat him.
    Prime Oscar has a good chance so do forrest and winky.
    At the moment people who have a chance are pac at 147,khan at 147 in 2012,williams at 154, martinez at 154. Thats about it. I give martinez the best chance.

    Man... Paul Williams defense is picking off punches with his face and chin. Floyd would toy with him.
