    Is there more than 1 person from the 140lb to 154lb division who can beat Floyd Mayweather?

    Who is the best candidate to beat him?

    Canelo, Kirkland, Probably Bradley, Floyd is getting old and slowing down too, its a matter of a few more fights before its obvious.

    Kirland would be countered and flattened. Kirland couldn't even figure out Molina, much less Mayweather. Coupled with that super suspect chin, I call easy work, even @ 36.

    Bradley would be competitive at first on activity, but doesn't have the power to make Mayweather respect him. The movement bothered Pacquiao, it wouldn't bother Mayweather.

    Canelo is the only one at this stage, from the weight parameters given, that I think has a chance to beat Mayweather at this stage of his career.

    Only middleweights that killed themselves to move down to 154.

    Lara would be awkward but Floyd would work him out. I'm not impressed with Canelo at all hes made for Floyd. I would say Pacquaio or Cotto

    Cotto gives him the best fight in the current field.

    I reckon Chad Dawson could make a bit of a fight of it.Other than that,no one comes close.
