    I can think of just one and that's Golovkin. I am not sure that Martinez would be a favorite.

    What's your opinion?
    Do you see the Cuban dude in my avatar??? I would seriously favor him to beat Floyd. Unfortunately that match-up will probably never happen.

      Floyd vacates at 154 and cleans out the 147 division before retirement is my bet. Alexander, Bradley, Khan, winner of Garcia/matthysse.

        Yeah...I don't think Floyd is interested to stay at 154 and take on the top guys in the division. He'll finish his career at 147. I would love to see him fight Thurman before he retires "IF" Thurman keeps on winning.

            Thurman is good for boxing, I like what he's doing. He'll have to take someone's belt (most likely Alexander at this point) to get to Floyd and He'll get that shot sooner rather than later.

              So are you asking for people to give their personal opinions on who they'd favour over Floyd or who'd actually be the betting or general consensus favourite?
              I was asking for both actually.

              There is no doubt Floyd is one of the most skilful boxers out there, but would that be enough if he faces big jr MW is questionable.

              You think best trainers in the sport and betting would favor Floyd?

                When was the last time Golovkin fought at 154?

                  Never

                  I don't know why he's in this discussion.

                      The question asked is regarding people who can make 154.

                      There's no indiciation a guy who's never weighed less than Middleweight in his 7 year (and counting) career can make 154 lbs.

                      When's the last time he's actually been at 154? I know he hasn't been there as a professional.
