    Think about it .

    Williams throws a 100 punches a rnd , Mayweather has a low workrate . Even if Floyd trys to play it safe and fight from the outside to avoid getting swarmed by Williams . Hes going to give up rnd after rnd , cause Paul is going to stay on him and win the fight by just being the much busier man . Not to mention his incredible arm reach of 82 inches , Floyd would get beaten to the punch and overwhelmed . Zab judah was getting the best of Floyd early and even dropped him on the canvas before he physically and mentally fatigued like he typically does . Williams doesnt know the meaning of fatiguing , He will perform way better than Judah did . Thats for sure

    To beat Paul Williams , You have to be willing to get hit to land your own punches . Look what Quintana did , Look what Martinez did . No way Floyd puts his balls on the table and takes a chance to brawl with Paul not even for a moment, Its just not going to happen , thats not the Floyd Mayweather we know .

    At the end of the day Its all a matter of styles , William has that style to dominate Floyd with ease . Mayweather has no chance of Prevailing over Williams . I just cant see it .

    No because khan doesn't have a high ring IQ or great timing he's just fast.

    Broner may well be capable of beating him (jury is still out) but they aren't going to fight each other which implies he would beat him.

    Maybe Mayweather went out of his way to befriend Broner for that very reason.

    In the 147-154 range. Trout has the best chance. He has to beat Alvarez first though.

    Pacquiao, based on what I saw in IV before he got reckless (and let's be clear, that's what it was) still remains the biggest threat to Mayweather's style, and Mayweather knows this

    Other than that perhaps Canelo/Trout but 147 itself is at it's lowest ebb for some time and with Showtime-GBP vs HBO/TR Floyd is in heaven as he can cherry pick his way to retirement and he will not fight Canelo or Trout

    Did they have a third fight that only a select few know about? I've seen the two fights that I and most people know about. I guess I'm not one of the privliged few who saw the third fight where Casitillio finally beat Mayweather. Consider me jealous.

    At any point in their careers Mayweather would have picked him apart.

    Mayweather/Martinez by 2014 at 160 I like Mrtinez. At 154 I like Mayweather.

    nobody beats him, maybe at a fight where he shouldnt be at the weight, but on level playing field, the guy is too good

    Noone at welter anyways. I'm not even sure there's anyone at 147 to give him a real competitive fight.

    He needs to go upto lmw to be challenged really the likes of canelo, Molina, trout, Lara. However gets the fight at 154 has the best chance.
