    Khan

    I know it's crazy, but if Khan can avoid to be KOed he might actually have some chance. Not particularly large, but still.. He has the style to trouble Floyd.

        HELL NO......

        Manny, Thurman, Angulo, Martinez (if even 80% of what he was before), Lara.

        GGG is without question a KTFO.

        Possibly Porter??? Not really.

                Floyd is hard to oiutbox because he cares not one bit if the crowd are entertained. He also cares about self prerservation more than any other boxer. If he fougtht a featherweight boxer he would still be terrified to be hit, just like he didn't want to go after the smaller JMM.

                Sometimes when boxers are circling and not throwing punches the crowd starts booing sometimes because of no action, similar to awkward silences when two people have nothing to say to each other.
                Floyd would never feel awkward in those stand offs with boxers, whereas his opponent would probably throw a punch cos of what he thinks the crowd might think. Getting a bit deep here.

                So you might not outbox him but there are many boxers who coiuld beat the bejesus out of him, if only Floyd sought them, guys with good tanks and don't gas like the people he chooses.

                  Because Manny refused to the random testing and turned down $40 million. That's why the fight never happened.

                    Mad enough to call the guy a **** lol. Why though? He never had the style to beat Floyd, even back then. Pac made all of the relevant boxers at the time look soft, but Floyd is Floyd. The technical master who will slow your average punch rate down and do whatever has to be done to win. Let's just be honest. Pacman never had it, and if they do fight, he will lose in a lopsided decision. He definitely would not have knocked out Floyd if that was his other option of winning. Outpoint Floyd on the cards though!!!?

                      If you mean current era then no. I think Manny had a chance to beat him on the cards a few years ago but not really by outboxing him even if he could do it. Past eras? Absolutely. Some people will flame me for this but I think Floyd would be an easy night for Hearns. He'd completely outbox mayweather and either get him out of there at some point or win easily on the cards. Historically though there aren't that many others who could do it.
