    And the funny is I think Floyd would beat Williams. He would run to a UD over Pavlik if he can make 160. Martinez would be the trickiest of the 3 but Floyd could outbox him for a victory as well.

    I don't recall him going half a decade without fighting any of the top ranked fighters in his division, either.:lol:

    You guys are crazy if you think PBF could beat Williams or Martinez. And even Pavlik, because of his size, is a stretch.

    They aren't worthy of fighting him. They've all lost.

    It's a win-win situation for me. If Mayweather wins, no big deal and we might get Pac-May next. If Mayweather loses, it will be great and I'll celebrate a lot.

    Sly already has them on Floyd's mythical resume. Floyd didn't lose a round.

    The story of Fraudweather's career. What he could've or would've done. Not what he actually f*cking did.:laughing:

    He still hasn't. He fought Oscar at the end of Oscar's career and still lost but got a gift. He fought Marquez by bringing Marquez up 2 weight classes at a catch weight which Fraud himself didn't even honor. He fought Hatton by bringing Hatton up to 147 which Hatton already proved he couldn't fight at.
    He avoided Pacman blatantly. Now he's fighting a Shane who's been out of action for 15 months and is heading for 39.
    Not a legendary career by any stretch. And I haven't even gone into detail with the other garbage fights Fraudweather took including Bumdomir, clown Judah, and shot Sharmba.
    Fraudweather is a joke!

    The irony is that I too would pick him over Pavilk.

    Floyd would just move and befuddle Pavlik for 12 rounds, and he'd barely be able to land anything on Floyd.

    Williams? That fight is a toss up to me. Floyd could outbox him, but Tall Paul could also overwhelm Floyd with his sheer height/reach/activity/workrate.

    Martinez I would probably pick over Floyd. Bigger, longer reach, very fast, very sharp, southpaw, unpredictable etc. He also has more power than his KO ratio would indicate.

    Those guys with the exception of Martinez are exactly on what Mayweather thrives. Shitty defense, walk forward wide open for counters. Williams' reach would pose a problem that Williams' himself would solve for Mayweather.

    You live in fantasy. F*ckweather would never risk his sh*tty little record against these guys. He only fights shot old inactive fighters or little guys coming up in weight at a catch weight to give himself every possible physical advantage.

    I'm rooting for PBF as well. However I am torn because does deserve to the W. What kills me is that people are on her claimng that Mosley is an old man and that PBF won't get credit for the victory but then state they state that they hope he wins so that the Pac/Mosley can fight can jump off. If Mosley is old and potientialy washed up against PBF why wouldn't that be the case against Pac? Anyways we had a great great weekend of boxing and the updated weeks are even more exciting! I'll Holla 5000

    Yeah but both of those guys are very durable - Williams would not shy away from mixing it up with PBF. And he'd get to PBF. As for Pavlik, he'd probably be losing on the cards when he makes PBF quit.

    This is a guy who barely beat a washed-up ODH. Barely. In fact, many thought he lost. So much so, that there "was" demand for a rematch. People gloss that over now days - probably because they're so brain-washed by things like PBF's own self-praise and his meaningless win over JMM.

    Or Pavlik could bully the little f*ck into the ropes and unload on him. Fraud ain't felt that kind of power in his crappy career nor would he dare to try.

    So now for the "fair critics" Floyd needs to go up 13 more pounds (30 north of where he started his career and has fought to longest) and beat Middleweights 6 inches taller to get any credit.

    Nicely done. :lol:

    I think without 24-7 and the techonlogical advances of this century that makes SELLING fights much easier, Mayweather would have to make his money the hard way, he'd have to EARN it by fighting top fighters of the welterweight division.

    Dawg you kill me with ur hate. What fighter has PBF fought other then JMM that he's fought in a catchweight type of fight? What has he done that well lets see that other fighters haven't done? You act like he's the only fighter that has ever fought someone at a catchweight. Name the fights has he had where he's had a huge weight and size advantage? I'll Holla 5000

    Well he sure ain't gonna get credit by scraping through and barely edging a shot Oscar by the skin of his teeth either. Nor is he gonna get credit for forcing Marquez to move up several weight classes to meet him nor is he gonna get credit for beating Bumdomir in a boring joke of a fight where everybody in the arena headed for the exits halfway through.

    He had a fair size advantage against Hatton and Marquez. Everybody on here saw how sh*tty Hatton was at 147 against Collazo. He had no strength and no power. But yet Fraud beating him suddenly puts him closer to greatness. Give me a break. Any legit 147er would've eaten Hatton up.

    I see what you're saying. I think you know I don't buy Mayweather's bullshit. The Marquez fight was a DISGRACE along with Lampley's commentary.

    Out of three, Martinez would be the best chance to beat Mayweather at 154. My humble opinion at the moment.

    Mayweather would lose to most of them. Seriously, you take this little no-power having fairy boy against the best in the world, he's getting smoked. Did you guys not see just how pathetic he was against an inactive shot Oscar De La Hoya?
    Mayweather is a phony. He handpicks his fights because he knows he could lose against legit fighters. He doesn't have anywhere near the confidence his fans think he does. He's very self conscious and not as confident in his skills as he pretends to be.

    First off he didn't have a physical or size advantage over Hatton. Correct me if I'm wrong but Hatton was the heavier man entering the ring that night. So where was the advantage. But what kills me is that people jump on PBF's back for the Hatton fight when Hattons ass shouldn't even be competing at 140 when he is so 180+ between fights. That shit is whack. It kinda reminds me of the Pavlik/Martinez fighter where Pavlik was a fucking cruiserweight fighting in the middleweight division. Now that's what I call having an physical weight advantage. Are you saying PBF was 3 weight classes higher then JMM when they fought? Cause PBF has never been one to put on much weight after the weigh in. But people keep brining up the JMM Fight. It was what it was. It was a good comeback fight after a long lay-off. Nothing more nothing less. By the way how many times did DLH make guys fight at his weight? How many times

    you say that DLH was inactive but didn't he just have a fight agsinst Mayorga where he beat his ass like he stole something. Inactive and shot fighters don't look that damn good do they? I'll Holla 5000
