What current boxer could beat Floyd in your opinion?

Nobody at 147, a few guys at 154 and above would have a chance purely because of a major size advantage. At 154 I think Andrade would have a very good chance, he's got great skill and a good punch output, which is one of the most important things when you're fighting Floyd. At 160, Golovkin for sure and maybe a few other guys.
P4P though, very few fighters would even be competitive with him. Rigo, Lomachenko, Gonzalez, Golovkin, Ward would definitely be competitive, a couple might even beat him.

Nobody at 147 including Thurman and Brook.
If I would've seen Andrade in more championship fights I would've said that Andrade would have a very good chance against the current version of Floyd. Lara can also give him some tough rounds but I wouldn't bet on it.

At 147, Brook would have been the bigger threat IMO, I always thought based on his jab and size he woud be the one to worry Floyd.
Based on style, maybe Kahn would have a shot, I can see him outpointing Floyd, but Floyd can punch and would find a way to stop him, but maybe being behind on the scorecards.

I'm very high on Spence, I think beats most of the top guys at 154 as well.
