You would be wrong with the odds, bookmaker have the fight 50/50

I can't see how Floyd beats Pacquiao, his only chance is to run, move constantly and have the energy for that and hope that Manny has an off night can catches him with nothing big.

I got either pac or martinez, slight chance to khan as well

The only reason he could is because of his size, he's far too big for Mayweather who doesn't belong any higher than 147. At 147, nobody beats him.

What he said ^^^

What's one punch power? lol he is fairly heavy handed.

Martinez wasn't even considered a big puncher until he stepped up to MW at that weight he has power no one is denying that but not one punch K.O power looking at his career he has a K.O percentage slightly over 50%.

Having true one punch K.O power is pretty rare in boxing.

How about the one punch power that he knocked out Williams with, you know the guy that had never been stopped before and had a pretty solid chin.

That is the very definition of one punch KO power, From perfectly fine to out cold in less than a second, what more do you want?

For me, only guy that I'd pick to beat Floyd at the moment is Paul Williams at 154, I really can't see Floyd dealing with him and his crazy output plus range right now. It would still be close probably, but I'd pick Paul to win a decision

I'm going to pretend that I didn't read that. Carlos Flippin Quintana gave Williams a boxing lesson and he doesn't have 1/6th of the attributes that Mayweather has. And don't tell me Paul has evolved since then because he hasn't, and the Erislandy Lara fight proved it. He's very overrated. It would be Mayweather-Corrales all over again, except it would be much quicker because Williams doesn't have the punch resistance and heart that Chico had. Size means nothing if you don't know how to use it and Williams doesn't. He's one dimensional. Floyd would beat the living hell out of him. Even if Floyd couldn't hurt him, Paul still wouldn't win any rounds because Mayweather's defence and ring IQ would just completely befuddle him. It's basically a bigger B level fighter vs a smaller A plus fighter. Size doesn't win fights, being smart wins fights. Mayweather is much smarter than Williams. He would just counter the sh*t out of Paul for the entire fight.

I don't see anyone right now from 135 to 154 that is a serious threat to Mayweather right now. Guys like James Kirkland, Andre Berto and Amir Khan aren't even remotely close to his level and would all struggle mightily just to win a round against him, nevermind the fight itself. Timothy Bradley got outboxed for long periods against Junior Witter and struggled to beat Kendall Holt, I don't see him giving Floyd trouble either. I don't see any of them beating him but I think Martinez and Alvarez would be the most competitive of all of them. Who would be more competitive? I would say probably Alvarez because I think Martinez would try to box Floyd and that just wouldn't work. I think it would be like the De La Hoya fight but more one sided towards Floyd because Martinez isn't as skilled as Oscar. Alvarez would pressure him, and with his youth and strength I could see him getting the better of Floyd here and there, he's a smart fighter too.

I agree, Canelo might be his biggest challenge out there. If Floyd stays in the game long enough and fights Canelo say 2 years from now, Canelo will retire him.
