Who Can / Could Beat Mayweather?

I mean, there's no question Floyd is BY FAR the better fighter between the two.

 

Maidana. This weekend.

 

Keith One Time Thurman watch it, i called it first. so dont jump on my back when im right bitches.

 

What makes you think that? We need to see Thurman against top fighters before we can say how he does against Floyd.

Is it because of his power? It's been shown time and time again that you need more than power to beat Floyd.

Thurman also has a leaky defense, which is not good against Floyd.

 

explosive speed/power. can box off the back and front foot, strength bigger than floyd, smart fighter but has been put against strong pressure fighters lately so has looked vulnerable chaves and karass, and he knocked those boys out.
Thurman will show better adaptability then most other WWs

 

Khan maybe, but his hand speed alone won't win him the fight. I think Thurman with the right game plan can do it, because he's got excellent speed and power. But I don't think either one of them would pull it off because they'd be outboxed and countered. Pacquiao doesn't have that "bull" style, but he'd catch Mayweather early on not unlike Mosley and Judah. At 147, I don't see anyone that I'd favor over him.

 

khan 2011, a lot of old pros and analysts think khan gives mayweather problems i agree with them

 

pacquio too obviously, just want to say that bully tactic rarely works on floyd, canelo did worse when he pressed , de la hoya did worse when he pressed, maidana got it going and i hear castillo did too but it doesnt suit a lot of guys who try it

 

Khan faster hands and feet, his defense and movement has improved also. Nobody else.

 

I'll say this again: Khan's performance against Collazo isn't a good indicator of how he'd do against Floyd. We need to see how Khan does in his next fight to see if the improvements have stuck.

 

It's always a possibility he could get old overnight, but I don't believe anyone in his era - current or as a younger fighter - could beat him as things stand. Pac is/was the best boxing has to offer outwith Mayweather and no matter when that fight happened/happens it would/will turn out the exact same way - a new shutout for Floyd.

Throughout history there are, of course, fighters who would test him and, of course beat him, but I genuinely believe he's one of the finest boxers of all time.

Of the Fab Four, Hearns would be a favourite against him for me - just based on styles and sizes. I think he'd beat Leonard and Duran and I don't think Hagler is a realistic fight given weights.

 

Khan has elite level gifts - speed and power - with a D level brain. You can't fix having a low ring IQ. Khan wouldn't beat Floyd because he doesn't have the smarts.
