Who has the best chance Vs Mayweather? My list

My list: Amir Khan : Pure Speed & regardless of skill level for those 1st few rounds your going to have to deal with it. Mayweather is a slow starter & any fighter can get caught cold. Khan is also tall & likes to fight on the outside with a good jab. Say all you want about chins but the sort of power that destroys Khan is not the sort Mayweather holds, i do think Mayweather eventually stops khan but he's live. Timothy Bradley: This man to me is the biggest threat under 154lbs, he seems to adjust & scrape out a victory every time. His workrate and awkward style is something new & you're going to have to deal with him for 12 rounds. He also has one of the biggest hearts in the game ( provodnikov fight), if he can upset the Mayweather groove you never know. Manny Pacquiao : Whatever you may think of him he's going to come back with a bang and destroy Brandon Rios, with his speed & angles he's gonna be live at least for a few rounds. I do expect Mayweather to dominate him but it's still an interesting prospect. Sergio Martinez : Size, skill & power is what he brings to the table....doesn't hurt that he's a southpaw aswell. This would probably be the most realistically possible toughest fight....this would truly be a tossup fight & going into this I wouldn't bet my house on an outcome. Honourable Mentions: Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia,Kell Brook ( need to see more) Feel free to add......

Same as most other peoples thoughts, Khan or Pac. Pac mainly because he would come full pelt into the fight and actually pressure Floyd, but Floyd would pick him off. I really think Khan would have the best chance out of everyone because of his speed... I don't think Floyd would KO him because he just doesn't seem to go in for the kill anymore.

I feel that Khan would do better than many people think. I'm not saying he would win, or even come close to winning, but I think he would have some success and I think their styles would make for an entertaining fight, by Floyd-standards. If Khan keeps up a decent workrate, that is. Wouldn't mind that fight, especially since there isn't many better options. Maybe I'm biased but Pac back in '09-'10 would've had a really good chance, now Floyd would 119-109 him. Martinez is past it, and IMO was over hyped when he was in his prime. Puncher's chance, that's about it. Bradley, would make it an ugly fight, win a couple of close rounds but loose a clear decision. If Golovkin can make 154 healthy, I would pick him to win. But I would still give Floyd a decent chance of decisioning him. Don't see this fight happening though. Floyd is one hell of a fighter, too bad he's such an annoying person and surrounds himself with even more annoying people.

Danny Garcia v floyd mayweather wouldn't mind seeing that

Floyd Mayweather really is a different class from the rest, I suppose khan might be interesting stylistically with his speed, fast combinations and movement.

pacquiao that fought marquez beats floyd after all the talk about studying cotto/oscar-mayweather, alvarez and his teams gameplan was to utilize the same strategy guerrero used, counter the counter-puncher, box with the boxer no idea what these fools are thinking floyd is here for the taking at his age and stamina issues, yet these guys want to sit back and give him room to breathe, rest and fight when he feels like it I think Pac has the closest chance but even then it's slim. A combination pressure fighter will be a tough fight for Floyd. Can't win just throwing two shots at time to Floyds head, not enough follow ups.

I will have to say Timothy Bradley because if he is victorious in his bout against Juan Manuel Marquez, then he would remain undefeated and will have the strongest case of all or any current or potential challenger out there in justifying a demand to fight Floyd Mayweather because his resume will speak for itself. He would have wins over fighters like Juan Manuel Marquez, Manny Pacquiao, Joel Casamayor, Junior Witter, Kendall Holt, Lamont Peterson, Devon Alexander, Luis Abregú and the list goes on and on. That's the fight that boxing fans should demand to get done. The only sticking point will probably be their respective promoters and Television networks.

I think Adrien Broner will get stopped in his next 3 fights & he doesn't have the movement he'd need to trouble mayweather or power. He's simply not that good. GGG is far too big. To the guy who said about extreme speed you won't find much faster than khan. I think Danny Garcia will be up next for another easy UD.

Broner in a couple fights time might be ready, but id still favor floyd Khan, bradley, martinez have no chance. Pacquiao has the power so id give him the biggest chance out of all fighters.

Sergio's older than Floyd. . . haha "Floyd shoulda fought Martinez in his prime" coming up

you're truly in denial, aren't you buddy. Have you seen Sergio vs Cintron? Have you seen Murray vs Sergio? Sergio knows how to fight one way, and his hands down approach and the same 1-2 combinations would get him thoroughly embarrassed by Mayweather. Floyd is smaller and fights completely different than Murray, cintron fight was total BS even though Sergio's accuracy was terrible due to Cintrons spoiler style A healthy Martinez gives Floyd the toughest fight of his career

GGG would be a problem for Money.

Honesty noone. To beat Floyd you need to have either extreme speed or extreme power. No fighter 140-154 has enough of any IMO. 2009 Pacman would have a good chance. 2011 Marquez @ 154 too. Right now if you take GGG out of equation noone gives Floyd much of a problem. He would embers Khan and Bradley - an easy work.

LOL@ Sergio would get stopped. You really are a 'Team Money' degenerate aren't you. you're truly in denial, aren't you buddy. Have you seen Sergio vs Cintron? Have you seen Murray vs Sergio? Sergio knows how to fight one way, and his hands down approach and the same 1-2 combinations would get him thoroughly embarrassed by Mayweather.

Floyd looked exceptional with his father back in the corner. I think this was one of his best performances and I don't recall a time I've seen him look this good. His jab is back and a thing of beauty. I don't think any of those guys have a chance. I think Sergio wuld get stopped. Garcia would get stopped and picked apart. Khan? LOL....no way in hell.

Khans chin isn't his problem, watch the fights where he gets dropped They are massive flush punches. His problem is piss poor defense against power shots. He starts his offense and he's like a wind up toy, it can't stop until its done doing what it wants to, or it runs itself off the table and breaks khan would be an interesting fight manny and Sergio too

Khan's got speed, but you also know when he's going to throw, Floyd's got exceptional timing, he's gonna negate Khan all day
