    Pac would have made it interesting a few years but that ship has sailed.

    Pac wouldn't have made **** interesting smart ass. He has short arms no jab comes in wide open and is limited. PBF is a stylistic nightmare for Pac he would control the distance and fight tall when he needed to and picked Pac apart on the outside. It would have been at 10-2 or 9-3 clinic in favor of PBF. A stoppage wouldn't be out of the question either especially later in the fight because of Pac getting frustrated and more reckless since Pac loves to come in wide open, I could see him running into something and getting KTFO.

    Noone under 160

    Maybe noone under 168

    Martinez at 154 or under might be a good fight , he has skills and is a small MW.

    If Provodnikov had 2 more years to get high level experience then maybe, but I dont think he is good enough just yet or likely to be before Floyd retires.

    to be fair it would have been interesting because of the build up towards the fight. The first few rounds would be highly interesting as Floyd has a history of starting slow...I've never given Pac much of a chance against Floyd, but his best chance would have been the early rounds. If he gets downloaded, it's over

    People may not agree but between 140-154 the only person I could see is possibly Bradley.

    He's athletic enough to match May physically fast of hand and feet, he has toughness and grit so you know he won't quit in challenging moments. He has shown the ability to follow a gameplan as well as make adjustments over the course of a fight, he is a competent boxer that at times can mix it up when met with fire, an has a good enough ring Iq to take rounds off Mayweather. If your only chance is a lucky punch your not going to beat him, Mayweather isn't considered a puncher but has been beating them his whole career so just being strong isn't enough. Outside of that maybe Martinez in 10' at MW or a guy like Ward due to sheer size.

    AT 147- 154 Nobody the only way he will have a chance of loosing his 0 is if he moves up to 160, he won't even though i reckon he could win a title at 160

    I would favour Floyd against anyone around his weight.

    In terms of fighters who have more of a chance than the rest...Pac, even now, might make things interesting, purely because of the combination of things he has to offer. He has handspeed, footspeed, power, combination punching, heart, top level experience, and the southpaw stance. Mayweather has fought fast fighters before (like Judah), guys with power (like Mosley), southpaws, etc, but he's never fought an opponent who combines as many strengths as Pac.
