All in the title, who has the best shot against Mayweather at 147. This includes 140 fighters who will move up to 147.. Who would make it the most competitive, closest fight. This is purely about style match ups, who could potentially give Mayweather the most trouble?
I'm including Marquez II fight in the poll since Marquez would be much better conditioned in a rematch.

Adrien Broner is better than most of the fighters you listed. He should have been on the poll.
I diagree with the results of this pole I like Manny but in my opinion he is more of a politician than a boxer now. I don't think he has the same hunger. He reminds me of Oscar on the end of his career when he wasn't as focused and hungry for boxing anymore.
This fight should have happened four years ago, and doesn't have the same appeal anymore.
Garcia gets dominated, Thurman is too green,Bradley also gets dominated, Marquez is nearing the end. If he wins tomorrow I think he should think about retiring and goin out on two back to back good wins eventhough it would suck to not see him fight anymore.
the Canelo fight was a robbery Vasquez won both fights that's why they had a rematch because many thought Canelo lost both and the Bradley fight he lost but if they fight now he beats him it was because of the lack of experience. you just don't get it and you don't know what you are seeing but Sr Floyd sure does because he said it him self and Bey Vasquez is the best guy at 135 there words not my.
you didnt answer my question how will he beat Vasquez. I went you to explain it step by step
NOBODY at 135-147 has the footwork Vasquez has or the jab PERIOD .he has the best shot to win
Floyd would easily beat Vasquez by just being Floyd. Floyd is at the very least as fast, is more powerful, has better defense, has a ton more experience at the upper level, and is the bigger man. I watched Vasquez in his title win (vs Kim) and the Gesta fight. Vasquez is a good fighter and that's it. There's nothing in his game that suggests he can compete with Floyd let alone beat him. It could argueably be said that Vasquez is the best at 135. But right now that isn't saying much and is a long way from being able to beat Floyd.
Once again I like and appreciate Vasquez, but no............
I appreciate fighters like Vasquez, really I do, but there's nothing I've seen from him that suggests he's even a top shelf fighter let alone the one fighter at 147 that would upset the best fighter in the world. Footspeed to match Floyd? You can't be serious. While there are some fighters larger than Floyd who could cause him problems (GGG, Martinez, Lara), there are none smaller.
Vasquez has fought exactly two world class fighters (Canelo, Bradley). He got white washed by both, and you think this is the one to upset Floyd? Like I said, I admire Vasquez and fighters like him but no.........

Styles make fights and Mayweather is easy work for Pacman.
yes, styles do make fights. What is it about Pacs style makes you think Mayweather would be easy work?
The tools JMM uses to be highly effective vs Pac are great balance and precise counter punching. Coincidently these are things Floyd has mastered. Throw in Floyds speed, excellent sense of distance, and great defense, this won't be close. Look for Floyd to win a 9-3,8-4, type UD.
explain to me how he would fight a guy whos whole game is to potshot just like Floyd does and who has the reach and height and footspeed to match him . he has fought at WW that is no problem for Miguel Vasquez before some moron claims he cant fight at that weight. I wait TO SEE how you explain this THIS SHOULD BE FUNNY

pacquiao and then bradley. The two most experienced and proven. Ever wonder why Miguel Cotto did so much better than canelo against mayweather? Because of cotto's experience. Experience is very important at the highest level unless you are rigondeaux lol. Pacquiao and Bradley you know will perform under the bright lights because we've seen them do it.
Thurman is good but the guy has not even fought an elite fighter For ****s sake. Garcia is even better but again I think he hasn't reach his full potential.
Depending on how he looks tomorrow...BRADLEY!
But to be honest I wouldn't put money on neither I think Mayweather gets a easy UD over all and Stops Khan!
matthysse does stand a good chance
thurman just because of how strong he is might be able to do something, but i see matthysse's pressure, slickness and boxing intelligence really pushing floyd, floyd can't fight the entire fight
Umm no. Matthysse was billed as the new Manny Pacquaio and posters all around here (don't know if it was you) were saying Matthysse was going to murder Garcia. That his dad was going to have to pick him up from the canvas and take him out on a stretcher. End result a knock down and fractured orbital bone. Exaggeration? No
Not me, said that fight was pretty much 50/50. However as a reasonable man, I'd say that fight was competitive with the 2 best fighters at 140 squaring off with the better man winning in a close fight.
Kieth Thurman and Danny Garcia. If they were to fight him now they'd get their asses whipped but in five years time they will still be in their prime whilst Mayweather would be 41.
