Stranger things have happened in boxing, but I have trouble with picking a wide UD over Floyd by any welter. Now a late KO/TKO, I could picture...Either way Paul Williams in his prime was the only guy I ever thought had a chance of beating Floyd (in his own division of course).
Floyd is a ATG cherrypicker cuz he didn't fight these guys at their best : # 2008-2009 Pacquiao (ww) # 2008 Margarito (ww) # 2007 Cotto (ww) # 2009 P.W ( 150 or 154 ) # 2001-2002 Kostya Tszyu (lww) # Austin Trout @154 (after Trout's win over Cotto) - everybody knows that Cotto gave hell to Floyd in that fight and also that Trout beat more convincingly the same Cotto that Floyd beat ! Floyd fights in a weak ww div. He should move down at 140 or go up at 154 !
Because he fights in a weak division. Same as Ward. People made him into a god, because he beated bums like Froch or Kessler .. all of them have a good reputation because of the weakness of their division in the last years.
Mayweathers legs and movement are not what they were 10 years ago. In order to beat him you either have to throw 100 punches a round and try to swamp him or even better is to have someone with great movement and fast hand hit and move constantly or make him come to them. I still think if AMIR KHAN stuck to a gameplan and boxed like he did against Andriy Kotelnik he would beat Mayweather...big if though as we know Khan loses focus and get's himself in wars for no reason.
