    Bradley has no chance at all, he's going to get badly outclassed. Bradley relies on "skill" with no power to back it up, if you honestly believe Bradley has a chance in a skill contest against Mayweather you have issues. To beat Mayweather a fighter in Paul Williams' stature and fight style is necessary. Someone that throws nonstop, smothers/pushes Mayweather out of his rhythm and constantly keep the pressure up. Consistent pressure fighters can give Mayweather hell, a slick fighter has no chance in hell.

    yeah, and that's ridiculous. The old saying a couple of years ago is Floyd only fights guys smaller than him or older. And that he sucks vs southpaws. :patsch
    The Ortiz fight cleared that one up though :yep

    Martinez has weighed up to 170 pounds on fight night

    Castillo was robbed. Baldomir had too many loses on his record and was an old man. Old DLH was in decline about to retire. Gatty was shot and smaller. Floyd outweighted a smaller Marquez for about 17 pounds according to DLH. Do you have that data ?

    Against Ortiz Mayweather weighed 150 lbs for the WBC 30 day weigh in and 150 lbs on fight night on HBO unofficial scales, Martinez is around 165 on fight night.

    Martinez beats him at 154.Floyds usually the fighter with the longer reach but he won't be against Martinez.Reach+Handspeed+Footwork=Long night for Floyd.

    To be fair though no one would gave him any credit if he did fight and beat Pacquaio.

    Throwing non stop doesn't beat Mayweather...ask Jesus Chavez.

    Mayweather at this point is reliant on his opponent to come in straight lines and stand in front of him. He's stationary with slowing reflexes. Bradley can outbox him for long stretches. You don't need power. You need a gameplan based on moving and ambushing with good activity. Bradley can do it.

    Gatti was a few levels below him in class. But he was riding one of the best win streaks in his career, so how was he shot? And more importantly, how the fuk was he smaller?? Dude was infamous for carrying 160 pounds into the ring in 2000 vs Joey Gamache.
    Also, this DLH was 'old' crap irritates the fuk outta me. Dude was 34, how old is that in modern day boxing?
    As for DLH stating Mayweather outweighed Marquez by 17, that's hardly the most reliable source considering he also said Marquez would beat him LOL and even if it was true, dude, seriously? One fight out of whole 43 in which he was significantly bigger? That's a solid counter-argument? That's just supposed to make me forget about all of the bigger guys he fought?

    not a chance.

    The fact people have to look 2 classes above his best weight class to find someone who just has a "chance" to beat him is amazing.

    Any evidence Mayweather outweighed Marquez by 17 lbs? He weighed 150 lbs against Ortiz on HBOs unofficial scales and looks the same size he did in the Marquez fight.

    Also Marquez is one of the few fighters in recent years Mayweather has fought were he was the heavier fighter. Judah the only other fighter I can think off right now.
