On a serious note tho, that ship has sailed. IMHO, it's not appealing as it once was a couple of years ago. If it happened it would be cool - but it wouldn't be the same as it was years ago. I totally forgot Lara. He'd be a handful. I'd rank Martinez, Lara, Golovkin and Garcia and tht would be pretty much it. If he beats them all - awesome!
Rank your list of credible threats to Floyd Mayweather

I see a trend in the thread:
In any order:
Lara, Pacquiao, Bradley. I really believe he loses to the three. Bradley fight would be 50/50 depending on how smart Bradley fights.
Lara would be all oh so wrong for Floyd, stylistically.
Pacquiao would be more competitive due to styles. But Pac's activity would be enough for a UD win.Comment

Wrong stylistically in he would be able to get to Floyd or Floyd wouldn't be able to get to him? I'm not very familiar with Lara. I've been slacking on keeping up with fighters recently. Don't judge me.I see a trend in the thread:

Manny is a much better fighter than bradley
Bradley's only chance is if mayweather gets old overnight, and he outworks him
Manny has the power to hurt floyd, plus is a much better boxer all-around
If manny stays on his bike like he did in the latter stages of the rios fight, he is gonna be a tough out since his handspeed and footwork are so superb
Plus manny has one shot power vs guys floyd's size and smaller,, Manny has been fighting big durable guys that is why his ko power seems to have left,,, I dont think he is as explosive as he was 5 years ago, but still super fast, and his soutpaw stance will cause mayweather troubleComment

For the amount of output Bradley would have to do to keep Mayweather engaged and hopefully be scoring on dude, would he gas? How is Bradley's stamina? Has that been put to the test by anyone?Manny is a much better fighter than bradley

Only credible threats in his weight classes are Pacquiao and Lara. Maybe Bradley too, but I doubt it.
Guys like Garcia and Maidana would be a credible wins, but would not be credible threats.Comment

No big deal. Nobody outside boxing fandom know him anyways. For the same reason, this is why we will never see this fight. But since you asked, thus the name.Comment
