    How many of the top 10 Middleweights can FLoyd realistically beat?

    Judging from what we saw from him against Cotto at 154ish, what do you guys think we can do against the top 10 MW'S? Assuming the fight is at MW.

    At MW.
    Martinez.Geale.Golevkin.Sturm.Chavez.Qullien. NDAM. Pirog.Murry.Andy Lee.

    It's hard to say.
    A prime Mayweather (assuming he could raise up in weight without losing much speed) could have been a threat, but it seems he is slowing down quite a bit as of lately.

    Let's not forget he'd be facing some big guys, and weight matters.
    Chavez would be likely to weight almost 180 on fight night, it might be enough to compensate for Mayweather's superior boxing skills.

    I doubt we will ever know for sure

          I think he can beat guys like Lee, Ndam, Chavez, Sturm, Geale, Murray.

          Just because Lee, Ndam, Geale, Murray and Chavez are just that much less skilled than Floyd, Sturm is getting on and he isn't a particularly big middleweight anyway.

          The others I don't really know I think Martinez would beat him because he moves much better than Floyd despite being older and has the advantage of being a southpaw.

              They are indeed much less skilled, no doubt about it, nonetheless, Mayweather is smaller and he is getting older.

              He is 5′ 8″ / 173cm with a 72″ / 183cm reach.
              He weighted in at 151 against Cotto, which is the maximum he ever made.
              He is almost 36, and age starts to have an impact.

              Even though I'd hate to see that, less skilled, bigger fighters(I am thinking of Chavez Jr) might eventually wear him down / "smother" him against the ropes.

              I am not sure if Floyd has enough energy and speed to move around for 12 rounds at his age.

              The only fight against a top MW that would make sense at this stage of his career, in my opinion, is against Martinez at 154.

              If Sergio can make weight comfortably, it'd be a very good fight.

                zilch, zero, nada.
                he doesnt even have the courage to fight a former junior featherweight. What makes you think he will be hanging it up with the big boys.

                  Lil floyd dont think he can beat any of them. He thinks all it would take is them to land one punch accidently and hed be out like a light.

                  He wont weight drain Sergio to 154 as he dont think he can beat weight drained Sergio and he wont fight LWW Pac.

                  Just cos Pac can beat 3 divisions bigger than himself margarito, dont mean Floyd can and would even dare to. Pac did dare thats the difference, so with Pac we know, for Floyd everything is guess work.

                    It was a fight at 150-pound catch weight though. Just saying.
