Who has the best chance of beating Floyd Mayweather?

[Grimgash]

The only person who has a real chance tbh at 147-154 is Sergio barring he can make weight comfortably. You can say GGG but at 154, and the fact he's never fought a fighter on floyds level you're just guessing. Canelo is in the same route but he's also a 154 lb fighter and he's improving each fight I'd say has the 2nd best chance on that list, everyone else.... especially some of them get smoked fairly easily as it stands right now, Bradley..Garcia...Kahn...Alexander.... come on now.

I agree that Martinez has the best chance to beat Floyd, only because he is the bigger man. But, he also has the hand and foot speed to drive Floyd crazy. I also think that Devon Alexander and Bradley has the tools to beat him. Devon might have the fastest hands out of all those guys and its speed that gives older fighters problems. Bradley is simply battle tested. He's like a very skilled pitbull. He has the championship pedigree and intangibles to give Floyd a lot of problems.But because of his lack of punching power, at 147, its hard to see him actually pulling it off. Alverez and Khan are just not at that level yet. 2 or 3 years from now, they would beat Floyd, but at this stage, Floyd is just too experienced. Guerrero...no contest. The other guy at 154 I'm not familiar with. Lara, with his skills and amateur background would also cause problems. The fighter that beats Floyd will be very athletic with fast hands, good footwork, skillfull and patient. They will make Floyd come to them and use their youth and speed to outcounter him and for the most part, outwork him. It would be similiar to Leonard vs Norris. At that stage, Norris was the faster and stronger fighter. He did to Leonard what Ray was so used to doing to others. That's the style that would beat Floyd. A flatfooted brawler will never beat Floyd unless he stayed in the sport way past his prime.

from the list of names you provided, the highest probability of winning is martinez. mayweather will face a naturally bigger man in martinez for the first time in a long time. martinez has shown dominating ring generalship and has impressive arsenal of left hand cannonballs compared to mayweather who has yet to face a top quality southpaw. his impenetrable shoulder roll defense has got some holes when he's got the feet planted and has lost some spring in 'em legs especially now when mayweather's losing steam. both fighter's chin will tested in this fight but i give it to martinez by a close SD or MD.

Last time Martinez weighed 154 was against Cintron. It's been a long time since then.. If he can lose the weight without being drained then he has the best chance against Mayweather other than Pacquiao.

Hes on record stating that he has to eat his way up to 160 for every fight though... So if that IS true, then he might actually be a fighter that could still move down without consequence. Same way Floyd could still make 140 if he had too, and Manny could as well.

Martinez has the best chance to beat Mayweather.

Floyd keeps his 0 no matter who you bring.

None of the above. GGG is a middleweight. 154 will limit him. Sergio is a 54 pounder. He is the most legit threat and Floyd knows how to beat him. He lost to Margarito. he Lost to Williams and he almost got put night-night by big man JCCJr. He can be defeated. Sergio could have problems with Chavez if Chavez pops him with his jab before he pivots and turns. He did it a couple of times during the fight. If he studies the tape and implement the gameplan, he could beat him by a slight edge or he could put him to sleep. Mayweather would kick Bradley's ass easily. Guerrero just went 12 hard with Selcuk Aydin. Berto is a good fighter but he can be beat. They only name in the mix of this whole thread, is Floyd Mayweather. He will go out undefeated. Bring on the most credible threat and he'll take care of that. When Pacquiao flaked on the drug test, the people called for him to face Mosley. He did face him and kicked his butt. Before the fight, Floyd was going to get knocked out. During the fight, Shane looked his age. Bring on a Martinez. He'll get spanked. 154 and no catchweight.

Lol at Devon Alexander being there but not Manny Pacquiao

I personally don't want the see Martinez and Gennady Golovkin try to make 154. I think do they would beat May at 160.
