I've talked about this for years now, but stylistically the toughest opponent out there is Lamont Peterson.
Styles make fights! he has the boxing skills, speed and length to match up with Floyd. I didn't say BEAT HIM, but I'd say he'd give him a hell of a fight.
Danny Garcia has zero shot and would get stopped. Mid range hooker with no jab would get picked apart like target practice. 100% stoppage.
Maidana will get stopped in under 10 by Floyd I'm pretty confident in this.
Bradley has zero shot as well. No power in his punches. Very weak jab anyone who thinks he can box is fooling themselves if he plans to box floyd he will 100% get stopped. Only shot Bradley has is making it a rough fight and he has zero punching power Floyd would pick the **** out of him.
Amir Khan and Devon Alexander...just stop these guys have zero shot. I mean ZERO. Max rounds won will be 2. First or second round.
Bradley has power but not one punch knock out power.No, Bradley doesn't have power or one punch power. Even a good combination puncher with average power gets KO's now and then. Bradley has had 1 stoppage in his last 13 fights. Less than 10% KO percentage means he doesn't have power, he has skills.
Peterson is an even lighter puncher than what Beradley is considered... Dude went life and death with Kahn ON PEDs AND needed that point deduction to win. :/.. This has to be a troll topic. The best chance would have been Sergio a little whiles back, otherwise no one really does anything good enough. Floyd is tougher, faster, stronger, hits harder, goes to the body better and is infinitely better than him at ANY range especially inside. Wtf? I hate Floyd but Peterson? I dont hate him THAT much to ride that wave
I do think Lara is VERY interesting though with his size, good power, stance and real skills.
Even if he triples his PEDs he wouldn't come close to being Mayweather toughest fight, this is a guy that needs help to beat "Chinny" khan in his own hometown.
i agree garcia has ZERO SHOTespecially stylistically, neither does khan or alexander but i diagree about bradley. Bradley cant KO floyd, he has no power but he could give him fits and definately win some rounds
Styles alone don't make fights. The fighter and his style are both important. Bradley beat Peterson by a mile and Matthysse knocked him out quickly and easily. Peterson is not in Mayweather's class and you might be the only guy on Boxing Scene that thinks he is.

Who was the last time Floyd fought anyone with this
Speed + stamina and knows how to box?
Closes one was Judah but the dude does not have stamina
So my pic is Amir King Kong

Was actually taking you serious till I read this! Im a fan of Floyds but you think a guy who, other than Ortiz, hasn't stopped a guy since Ricky Hatton nearly 7 years ago, stops Maidana, Bradley and Danny!? You my friend are retarded!!
Yeah right, you right off Bradley then say that Lamont troubles him!? I like Peterson but I mean come on, Lamont couldn't give Tim a difficult fight and u think he gives Floyd difficulty!?
You've "talked about this for years"!? Lemme guess, ever since the rumours of them sparring came out! I suppose you're one of the guys that say Spadafora trouble Mayweather as well!:bottle:
Average power, average handspeed, average footwork, never fought at 147, lost to Bradley, lost every time he's fought B+ opposition.
How is he giving Floyd problems again?
Pretty much what I was thinking.
Average power, average handspeed, average footwork, never fought at 147, lost to Bradley, lost every time he's fought B+ opposition.
How is he giving Floyd problems again?
1) Bradley isn't going to beat Floyd in a straight up boxing match. No. He's gonna use HIS boxing to not get clowned on the outside, and get his ass on the inside, and go to work.
2) Without a doubt in my mind. Bradley's bob and weave style, and combination punching will be better suited than Guerrero's stand up straight style with a "clinch me now" sign on his forehead.
And don't forget. You're also fighting Bradley's head. You might think I'm joking, but the style he uses is very frustrating to engage, because you're worrying about the head butt first.
Bro you're nuts. People really need to watch the GUerrero fight again. Guerrero is solid as hell, and if Floyd wasn't on his A game with big dady in the corner he might have lost in that fight. Guerrero was game till round 12, and Floyd could not fight Guerrero on the inside at all. He had to tie him up and use his legs. GUERRERO is a damn swarmer and is tall.
Bradley has none of that! He wouldn't even get on the inside at all.
NO he doesn't like I said styles make fights. Bradley doesn't have much of a jab and is too short to try and box. Good luck to him if he tries it he will get 100% picked apart and given a slow beating till he has to change it up and the fight is over by then.
Peterson has the length and jab to make it interesting and he's a great inside and body puncher. He has the best shot vs Floyd there is no doubt in my mind.
Peterson's not a very good boxer. There's a reason he's become such an inside fighter at the world class level, and it's because he looks average as hell trying to box. Mayweather would pick him apart with ease at range, it wouldn't even be close. He's also not that fast so he would have a very hard time getting inside, and pay for it.
Bradley is a much better outside fighter, as he proved when they fought. He isn't as good inside, but he's quicker and better at getting inside. Before Peterson, everyone thought of Bradley as nothing more than a swarming volume puncher. Bradley's main game plan wouldn't be to box Floyd. He'd pressure and swarm and try to outwork him, and he'd have a better chance at that than Peterson would.
how is Peterson limited the guy is physically a problem meaning his arm length and boxing ABILITY, can fight off a jab and is very very strong on the inside and does great body punching.
you need boxing skills to **** with floyd, this is something that Peterson has. Bradley has some boxing skills but he lacks physical attributes along with power, which is why I don't believe he has a shot in hell.
how do you beat floyd?
by outboxing him? or by out slugging brawling him?
You dont outbox a boxing master unless you have master class boxing skills.
Peterson is not that.
try again.
And let me just say something.
Bradley has the STYLE to beat Floyd. I'm not saying he actually will.
I see it like a 7-5 or a 8-4 type of fight in favor of Floyd. Pretty close on the scorecards, and a bunch of people screaming robbery, because Timmy did way better than any of Floyd's past opponents.
NO he doesn't like I said styles make fights. Bradley doesn't have much of a jab and is too short to try and box. Good luck to him if he tries it he will get 100% picked apart and given a slow beating till he has to change it up and the fight is over by then.

Bradley controlled Peterson with his jab.
Totally agree with you guys!
Been saying that for years that "Havoc" will cause all sorts of problems for Money.
Just because "The Machine" stopped him has nothing to do with the here and ri now.
Plenty of fighters got stopped early, and are still surging ahead.
MP got stopped a couple times, and he's still on the p4p list.
Adonis Stevenson was stopped, now he's king of the Lt.heaves.
And my favorite p4p list fighter got stopped early in his career. This is a guy that FMJ refuses to get in the ring. That person is Sergio Martinez.
So not to get side tracked, yes I totally believe LP can beat Floyd.
Styles makes fights, LP has the talent, the skill set, and the guile to give him all sorts of fits, and will come out on top!:boxing::boxing:
