    Alexander has the speed, but not the power.

    Khan has the power, not the skill or durability.

    He's decisively beaten every south paw he's ever fought.


    As for the thread?

    None of them has a better shot than Manny.

    But from the list Amir Khan would have the best shot.

    ...Randall's my man but the best Bailey against the worst Mayweather ends with Mayweather beating the **** out of him. He doesn't have any tool but power to do anything. His style is so simple that Mayweather would be exploiting him all over the ring from the beginning. And he's well past it, himself.

    No.



    Your poll is restrictive. No one will vote on them because you omitted a certain option.

    I have high hopes for Kell Brooks in a year or so. If he keeps his head on straight and keeps improving AND assuming Floyd ages some more, it could be an upset in the making.

    Khan if he got a force field that required Floyd to stay atleast 2 feet from him at all times. And he still wouldnt win on the outside, just he could give him some trouble. But if the fight did get made within the next two years, floyd would destroy him on the inside, he would knock Khan out and I dont pick floyd to knock out hardly anyone.

    I don't give ANYONE a chance with that wide looping slow power crap. I also don't think guys who load up, like Bailey, could do it. IMHO, you are either going to out slick Mayweather or out hustle him. Only one guy on that list seems to have enough of a full skillset...

    I say Khan as he is the only person that I think would take initiative and attempt to beat Mayweather to the punch and/or keep touching him with workrate. Also, the length will help as he throws shots straight. I do worry about his falling in though. If Zab could gum him up repeatedly? Mayweather could too.

    Lots of fun competitive fights there though. I can't honestly say I wouldn't watch any of them.
