    beat Mayweather? Just rewatched Mayweather-Chavez (2001) and it looked like a short man who has some crouching and head movement gives him quite a bit of trouble. I don't remember that guy jabbing much to get into proper range, and his pressure was defly not educated. Mayweather ended up beating him by cutting his gas via body punches and letting him tire out. He got the better of it with his educated inside fighting game.

    How would an elite peak-a-boo fighter fare against Floyd?:think Keep in mind Mayweather didn't have as much experienced nor was he as seasoned during the time of this fight; he was only 24.

    It would depend on the fighter, wouldn't it?

    Winky thinks he has to style to beat him too! And who peek-a-boos better than winky?? :) I say winky wins- but because size plays such a big role in the fight! it would have had to be at 60 or 54 i suppose though i dunno if winky would/could come down that far

    Prime Winky vs. Mayweather @ 154 might have had a shot. Other than that, no, not really.

    A prime Winky would have beaten PBF and I said this back then when the fight was being talked about. Winky had a great jab and would have given PBF fits with it.

    Uhhh, sure. Shrink Tyson down to Mayweather's size and see what happens... better yet. don't shrink Tyson down in size and let's see what happens to Floyd. :!:

    Dunno but he would give May fits if he had great head movement and knew how to position Floyd on the ropes and knew where to hit him.

    The guy had over 80 amateur bouts so how can you say he didn't have much experience?
