      To be honest, I'm not sure I can give you a serious answer outside one person if that.

      Martinez @ 154lbs would only be the most serious "THREAT" per se.

      That being said the last three have a decent chance but all are too green when you place them against Mayweather.
      Golovkin@ 154lbs
      Garcia @147lbs
      Bradley @147 lbs
      Thurman @154lbs (Personally I'm intrigued by this guy i think he could put some work in)

        I'm amazed nobody has chimed in yet with -

        1. Pacquiao
        2. Pacquiao
        3. Pacquiao
        4. Pacquiao

        So I will do it before someone else does. LOL.

          The one i'd like to see are the ones that aren't going to happen. Pacquiao, Bradley..even Lara.

              Lara is the only threat to him, Maidana and Garcia are credible but not threatening

                I think there's a decent chance he fights Bradley next year.

                  You give Pacquiao almost twice as much of a shot at beating Floyd over Bradley? Interesting.

                    You could compile two different lists for Floyd depending on what its for. If its to be considered a cherry picker list is one thing. To pick a legacy list and one that makes us think he takes risks is another thing altogether.

                    He should take a challenge against GGG or Sergio at 160 for his legacy list, but at worst bring them down to 154.

                    Would Floyd be betting favourite against GGG or Sergio at 160 does anyone think?

                      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.
                      I like these names as well but I'd add Lara as a threat as well. If Bradley gets away from TR I think that would be the most competitive of the ones already listed
