    The question is who beats Floyd, not gives him trouble though. But Bradley gives Floyd hell but losses imo.

      Nobody

      Sergio keeps his hands low and gets hit a pretty lot. Dont forget floyd has a reach advantage on him too. Someone boxing with him on the outside with a shorter reach, less speed and their hands low is asking for a boxing lesson.

      A good defense and a good jab are what have consistently troubled floyd throughout his career. Sergio doesnt have those.

        What makes Sergio Martinez dangerous at 154? He campaigned at 154 for years and was never once considered elite. He has no jab, hes a pot shotter that doesnt throw alot of punches, hes not a body puncher, and he has no right hand whatsoever. Wheres the danger in that? His best attribute is his movement and he has some power I guess. But you cant beat someone like Floyd on movement alone.

        Floyd wont fight Martinez because his last fight against Lee did 6 hundred grand at the gate. Floyd will spend that betting on the NFL this weekend lmao. I dont get whats wrong with Argentines. Serg is the best they have and his own people dont support him. They come out to watch the soccer team when their here in the states. Maybe they dont care about boxing.

          not sure who could beat mayweather at 140...maybe matthysse?
          Matthysse is Margarito prehand wrapping scandal. Hes a good pressure fighter but he gets hit clean too much. You can walk through punches when your younger but that wont last long. By the time he gets his shot at a big cash fight he will be too beat up, over his carreer, to hang with the best fighters p4p. And if he does upset somebody of note he will get smoked in his next fight just like Margarito did.

            I think it's unanimous, Martinez gives Floyd a very tough fight. It would be Floyd's toughest fight to date, i'd like to think. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd actually made it look easier than we're all thinking.

            And anyone saying this fight would not be good at 154 is crazy, Pacquiao, Mayweather's supposed rival, wouldn't even fight Martinez at 150. While Martinez is offering himself to Pacquiao and Mayweather at 150, Floyd fighting him at 154 would be a big "in your face" to Pacquiao and his ******, crazy ass fans.

            Also, I think Lara would be competitive.

              Wow, I see Lucas Matthysse being mentioned here. This guy was getting his ears boxed off at some points against Judah and Alexander. Some people thought he won, but in the end, he lost and he surely didn't dominate either of those guys. Mayweather is not a southpaw like them, but he's a lot bigger, he's fast, he's smarter, taller, longer reach, and would stylistically have the advantage. Matthysse 5'6", short arms, slow handspeed and come forward style would make Floyd look 25 years old again. He won't miss. The fight would take place at 147 too, where Floyd would have the weight advantage, like if he even needs that.

                No one outside of Sergio and at that he hasnt fought at 154 in a few years and at best he has a punchers chance. He aint out boxing Mayweather.

                    Ya thats what I meant, I wouldve preferred the fight at 140.

                      Martinez- one shot knockout power with that left and better legs than floyd. Stronger than mosley and mosley rocked floyd. Not an easy fight at all for Floyd.

                      GGG- untested but... Would be a challenge for Floyd I think. Nice jab, long frame and knockout power in either hand. And pretty good defense.

                      I wouldn't sign away on these cats beating floyd but they would have the best chance.
