      I would give Sergio Martinez a shot. He did look bad against his last foe, but styles make fights and that was a bad style for him to match against. Not only that but Sergio's last several foes have been against naturally larger men, that along with Murray's style was a bad matchup for Sergio.

      As far as weight Martinez had stated before Floyd fought Cotto that he would drop as low as 150 to fight either mayweather or pacquiao. Floyd has shown that he can comfortably make 154. I think he is wasting his time at 147 at this point, unless he wants to wait for the up and comers to get better experience.

        Canelo gasses out to early and after he gasses out Floyd either cruises to an easy decision or knocks him out.

        Golovkin has no head movement but he has the power to give Mayweather nightmares to the point of retirement.

        Mayweather still wins both of these fights at his catchweight terms, but one fight last longer and that is a fight with Gennady Golovkin.

        Floyd defeats Canelo by knockout, round 8.

        Floyd defeats Golovkin by tko, round 11. Lack of head movement will be Golovkin's downfall and one that someone like floyd will capitalize on.

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.
          yes pac has a good chance of taking floyd's zero....

          floyd is a brainy fighter, he fights with his bright mind....

          but ithink floyd, right or wrong, also thinks that pac present the greatest risk to his zero...

          not because of speed, not because of power...but because of pac's willingness to throw it all in "recklessly" - win or lose

            Adrien Broner but there is a better chance that Floyd fights Manny. Floyd and Broner are friends.

            How about Errol Spence, he gave Floyd a black eye.
