    In my humble opinion...none. Outside of a lucky punch, I don't see it

      Lara is the only true challenge left for Floyd

        Guererro threw more jabs than Mayweather. 292 according to compubox

          No way, Lara has only had 21 fights, he has 1 loss and 2 draws. He is only an inch taller than Floyd. He doesn't have the skill or experience to defeat Mayweather in any way. I have to respectfully disagree. Angulo dropped him twice. Floyd would break Lara apart.

            OP's point was Guerrero needed to jab more than he did, not he needed to jab more than Mayweather

            Floyd isn't this humongous left hooking monster.

            Can you name at least two fighters who would be a bigger threat to Floyd than Lara?

              Mayweather-Guerrero was a 120-108 shutout for Floyd on my card...
              Guerrero did not do enough to win any rounds. I think there was maybe ONE early round he may have won

                He jabbed as much as he could and still only landed about 11% of them. He couldn't because Mayweather's movement.

                Lara isn't even a threat in his own division, his style still is unpolished and sloppy. Floyd would pick him apart. No guy who gets hit for an entire fight by Angulo will ever come close to defeating a fighter the caliber of Floyd. In my humble opinion.

                  In my humble opinion there isn't a fighter from 140-154 who can defeat Floyd. All of them have a punchers chance but that's about it. I cant name 2 fighters but I know Lara isn't one of them. Who has he fought that is anywhere near an A++ fighter like Mayweather? I think you are slightly overrating Lara's talents.

                    biggest threat out there to Floyd stylistically

                      FTR, I respect your post.

                      To answer your question I would say Manny Pacquiao still poses a stylistic threat but he would have had more of a chance circa 2009. I'd have to see him vs Rios to make a fair assessment of where he is at currently.

                      The problem is that Mayweather is a master of adaptation and he figures fighters out quickly.
