    People are making out that Mayweather is being avoided, likewise Guzman. IMHO, these two are powderpuff punchers and although, might make you look amateurish, won't necessarily disfigure you or mug you (compare postfight pictures of JMM vs. Pac and JMM vs. Mayweather). Margarito or Cotto however are limited somewhat as pure boxers but they do punch, thus you might win, but surely, you will receive punishment along the way.

    If I am a boxer, I would rather fight Juan Diaz, or Guzman or Mayweather. What is there to be afraid of???

    Mayweather's power is not great but including that Mayweather has no power is just ******ed.

    I would say a guy like Floyd. He will make u look bad. Against a slugger, u always have a puncher's chance.

    Cant speak for others but I personally i'm alot more scared of power. When being outboxed there is always the feeling that sooner or later you will catch them. When you get hit hard enough though that your just all over the place with each shot, its pretty scary.

    My chin isn't my greatest asset though so maybe that has something to do with it...

    I've fought as an AM before and there's nothing worse than fighting a guy who can hit you and you can't hit him in return it sucks and is very humbling. Getting hit by a slugger with power might hurt some but you can at least hit him back and deal out punishment in return and you feel like you accomplished something. When facing a guy you can't hit it makes you doubt yourself and skills.

    The slugger, obviously. You can get beat by a slick fighter, but make it to the final bell with your dignity still intact.

    Fighting the slickster more frustrating, but sometimes scary if caught with something you can't see. Fighting the power puncher scary, but not as much if you are in control. Fighting someone with both, scariest!!!1
