    That's unfair to rule Bradley out for a big fight just because he has no above average attributes. The guy keeps winning and that's what really matters in his case.

            I would watch Floyd box a literal tomato can as long as he is still in the game. There aren't many guys I'd feel excited about thinking they might be decent threats. Lara at 154, Thurman and Pac still at 147. Just on pure size with a style he's not used to, there are some 154 guys that could get interesting like Andrade. But that's only because of the length really. Technically they should be totally out of their depth. Realistically anybody with a big name who isn't shot is going to be some kind of credible threat but if we're talking anybody at all that would make me nervous for my boy, I guess that about covers it in the weights he's fought at. (**** the move up until you're crushed to earn my respect hater brigade)

                Would reverse Thurman & Pacquiao at this point in their careers, but in a year that would probably change..

                    Garcia
                    Bradley
                    Thurman

                    A lot might have changed by this time next year so that fourth option could change.

                    And it looks like it's going to be Khan next anyway so that list is unlikely to happen.
                    Come on Dan, Maidana, Garcia and Thurman are the last 4 fights you want?

                    You think any of them are going to provide a better opponent than Pacquiao, even a past it Pac who is pretty much done. That's ridiculous.

                    The top 4 biggest threats

                    Pac, this is the truth

                    GGG, I don't want a middleweight champ goin down to 154 and beating up on a welter but GGG has said he is cool to go down to 154 and Floyd is supposedly the number one guy at light middle, so why not? Plus Floyd was pretty adamant he'd fight Martinez at a catchweight of 150-154...which leads me to

                    Martinez, size, strength, speed, reflexes and power, highky doubt the fight gets made now but Martinez retaliated to Floyds proposition...ain't heard a peep from Floyd on that matter in years

                    Bradley, the best welter currently after Floyd, a Pac rematch if it happens will tell us more

                    Honourable mentions to Lara for he is one of the best at 154 and Khan, due to his style (Roach version).

                      I agree it's unlikely, but I say there is an outside chance of the fight being made in the last 4 before Sept. '15 as Lara may beat Canelo before then. He might also be willing to do a catchweight given he fought at WW in the ams.
