    Nobody in the world has been able to beat Floyd Jr. for over a decade so I just imagine the guy who can beat him must at least possess these 4 things below:

    1. He must have the single-punch KO power like Mike Tyson.

    2. He must be as fast as Floyd Jr. (both in hand speed and footwork)

    3. He must be smart and strong.

    4. He has no physical disadvantages.

    It's just my opinion. Probably there is no such a fighter existing in the real world and Floyd may be able to keep his perfect record until he retires.

    Thank you for reading it. Any comment? :D

    Also needs to be a southpaw. Floyd said he doesn't like to fight southpaws.

    Floyd has faced fighter with all of these qualities .. What he has not faced is a old school fighter with an equal ring IQ. Mentally Floyd is hard to beat, evan harder to compete with.

    dwyer said this about a year ago. a welterweight leo santa cruz would give mayweather problems. a very smart, peekaboo, high volume puncher.

    also, i think a welterweight rigo would win against him via decision. would be a snoozefest though.

    Hearns. Height, reach, speed, power, boxing skill (with a great jab) and good technique. I think that's Mayweather's toughest fantasy match up.

    Not even that just anyone that can match his speed of hand and footwork that's all it is.
    Floyd is like a roy jones it's all genetics and reflexes and speed.
