    I'll stick my neck out and say Mike Jones runs him closer than anyone else out there today.

    Special K, Kell Brook. Mike Jones would get KO'd.

    Mike Jones is fundamentally flawed.

    There is no way he can beat Mayweather in my opinion.

    Ellerbe and it's not even close. Ellerbe would **** and abuse Floyd like nothing.

    I understand that he is flawed, however, he also has some tools in his game that no one else possesses...

    The combination of range, mobility and good balanceand a high level of conditioning. Sounds simple, I know, but people have tried to pressure Floyd, fight Floyd, counter Floyd and they don't get anywhere. Corrales had similar attributes to what I mention about Jones, but Floyd was a different fighter back then, and Corrales was too willing to take punishment. People underestimate the damage Floyd does... he needs to be kept at range and picked off. I see Jones as the only fighter out there with the tools to do it... whether he would or not is a different matter.

    He got power, speed, height, good movement and improving after each fight. Plus he got a good workrate and size. He wouldn't beat Floyd, but he could be a challenge in the future. As of now, Floyd walks him down and does what he wants with him, but who knows

    what division are we talking about, at 147 the obvious answer is pac, but even then I don't think there is much chance of that

    At 154 it's martinez, I hope he don't fight anyone else next
