What fighters in these weight classes NOW would you favor to beat Floyd and why?
NOTE I MEAN FIGHTERS WHO ACTUALLY FIGHT AT 140-154...SO THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE MARTINEZ WHO IS THE MW CHAMPION
I give Canelo an edge at 154. He is much bigger and stronger than Floyd and he is getting better while Floyd is getting older. Floyd seems like a small welterweight but I would still favor him over everyone else. I think Martinez could go back to 154 and beat him but you said no Martinez because he is middleweight champ.
Sergio Martinez would have the best chance at 154 apart from that there is nobody.
Lmao @ the guy who said Peterson, almost as bad as when people said Khan would destroy Floyd.
Whats wrong with Peterson? He has attributes that would benefit him in a fight against Mayweather. Does Mayweather box as much now? No, he's gotten older so he stays in the pocket more, and even fights going forward. Does Peterson fight a hard pace? Absolutely, ask Khan about that one. Is he physically & mentally a strong fighter? Absolutely. Does he have a good punch? Absolutely. Is he a young and hungry fighter? Absolutely.
The fighters I picked, in my opinion, would give Mayweather an interesting fight based on some of their attributes. Mayweather's getting older, as well.
Don't compare Peterson to Khan. Khan is sloppy and was a disaster waiting to happen. However, Khan did have the speed, output, and style to bother Mayweather. Even Roy Jones thought this.
does he fight at 140-154?
Listen my bipolar brother, he can make 154. I see what you did there by conveniently leaving him out. But on a serious note, Trout & Lara have a very good chance of beating Floyd at 154.
so you'd favor these fighters in a fight with floyd??i mean they would be your favorite?
Nah, I wouldn't favor them. But, these guys have the best chance out of the whole lot. I mean, once Mayweather starts declining some more, I would favor the younger guys.
Floyd needs to end his career by fighting Martinez and Pacquiao, if he did that and beat them both I would consider him #1 of this generation.

I know the TS said not to include Martinez but the above says it all....no other fights really matter....his legacy as a true legend lies on the shoulders of Pacquiao and Martinez....he can fight any of the other top guys between 140 and 154 and win convincingly but until he has Pacquiao and/or Martinez (preferably both) on his resume then there will always be question marks on his legacy....win or lose against those two and he still gets maximum respect for finally fighting them.
Saying that though I don`t really think Martinez should be in the equation as I feel he is too big, even at a catchweight weigh in he would rehydrate enough to have a serious size advantage in the fight.....if FMJ pulled off a win though now that would cement his legacy as the greatest of his generation.

Martinez, that's why Floyd fights ginger instead. You heard it here 1st.
you mean you heard it here 1,000,000th because you've posted the same **** 999,999 times already.
Floyd would not only be favored over everyone, he would be a pretty large favorite over everyone. Probably like -250ish against Pac. That would be the closest.
guys I give the best chances (none of whom I would bet my own money on):
Pacquiao
Canelo
Molina
Lara
Guerrero
not in any particular order. I have Floyd beating all 5 of those guys, but the hardest fight would probably be either Molina or Canelo
Sergio Martinez would have the best chance at 154 apart from that there is nobody.

NOBODY.....IMO Lara gives him the toughest fight and might even win on 1 of the cards
with that said there are certain fights I wouldn't mind seeing. Pac and Martinez are given p4p fights. at 140 I would love to see a mathysse fight even though I'm sure Floyd can't make the weight. and at 154 I would like a Lara fight or a canelo fight down the line. as 154 stands rite now Floyd is the clear head and shoulders best fighter in the division. because the other little *****es in the division won't fight each other. oh how I miss the 2008-2009 ww days. too bad Floyd retired. Smh. I'll never really get over that.
