    why a punchers chance, how many real WW has Pacquiao knock out, and how many times you had seen Floyd hurt?

      Pac is war torn. Sergio has too many injuries. Lara has a good shot. Canelo has a good shot. Trout has a good shot.

      I wouldn't favor any of them over Floyd though.

        PAC deezy is the only one that can give Floyd problems. Floyd and Sergio won't happen and canelo if and that's a big if, the fight does happen i don't see canelo winning, he's not fast enough. Manny is the only realistic one that can probably match Floyd in terms of speed. PAC is also very unpredictable, haters say he only fight one way will how come nobody has been able to beat him except for marquez who had 4 try's and a strength and condition coach lol.

          Any top 154 or 160 fighter (like Canelo, Lara, Trout or Murray, Martinez) are going to be close calls with Floyd because he didn't look too comfortable against Cotto at the higher weight. Although it's debatable now because Floyd Sr has him back in a defensive mentality.

            I think you're forgetting that Canelo is a pretty big guy for a junior middleweight. He hurts Mayweather if he lands. Mayweather isn't particularly big.

              And how many times did you see Floyd throw the right hand of God like JMM?

              Floyd throws quick right hand counters. Not the type that he plants his feet, and puts your lights out.

                Canelo has a punchers chance and that's about it, I personally thought Trout should have gotten the decision, but I was a bit biased towards trout in that fight.

                    That's why i think matthysse has the best chance, he's got the style that i think you need to beat floyd.

                      only guy with a decent shot is martinez even though he didn't look great in his last fight. Even he is getting past his prime.
