    God and Father Time have the only real chance of beating Mayweather. Father Time is getting close though.

    I personally think neither man would win against him but during my time here on ESB; i have seen multiple people say (including jones jnr, malignaggi and other boxers) that Amir Khan has a decent chance due mainly to speed. He is preferred now because Mayweathers last 'speedy' opponent was Judah. He stood for the first four rounds. Now Mayweather has aged; Khan has the highest chance of winning 6 or 7 rounds instead of the first four Judah had on him. Its finding ways to beat the system when the system is already rigged.

    Himself. He is a coward but the guy is the most skilled boxer.

    Agree that Williams is stylistic nightmare for Floyd.

    However i won't go that far,and say Williams has his number.Floyd style is very tricky and opponents workrate tends to decrease a lot.it would have been interesting to see how Floyd have adapted.Williams got everything that Floyd doesn't like.

    Imagine Floyd would be on his bike and Williams would have his moments,but ultimately losses close decision

    Neither, but Williams would have a better chance. Floyd would use lateral movement, and shoe-shine and slap his way to a wide UD.

    Pacquaio May 5, 2012!!!! Floyd was going straight to Jail after this fight, beef with 50 was just starting, Ms. Jackson issues were surfacing and Floyd was struggling looking for an opponent just to keep a date/promise to the MGM/Vegas. He called Pacquiao needing to make a "Big Fight" after his legal team got his original jail sentenced postponed. All this crap going on while trying to make a fight...Floyd was at his most vulnerable. Pacquiao should've took the $40 Million. For an example of how vulnerable Floyd was...he looked AWFUL versus Cotto. Pacquiao missed his best chance.
