    I think Bradley & Thurman are less of a threat to Floyd than Brook & Khan...even though Bradley is ranked higher than all 3 and Thurman could be considered better or rank higher than both Khan & Brook.

    You just know going into Thurman Floyd that Thurman would have to land something big...ain't gonna happen.

    I think Thurman(Golovkin would be too drained) poses the biggest threat to Floyd out of all the possible matchups people are talking about, but Floyd still wins IMO

    Just a punchers chance? Thurman is the most athletic man at 147 today by far.

    No ****, Berto and Mayfield are horrible choices.

    As a fan of a boxer, I can call a cherry pick and a cherry pick. If it were you, you'd be hyping Berto and Mayfield every chance you get, like you are Vargas right now.

    He's not the most skilled, it's due to his athleticism (like you mentioned) he has a punchers chance. I think he puts up a good fight though.

    He's not just gonna throw 1 punch (no punchers chance).

    He's going to throw a lot of punches.

    ... I know. But he's not going to outbox Mayweather either. Plus, he fades down the stretch. He'll lose the 2nd half of the fight bad.

    Actually Vargas is about the same as Berto and Mayfield. I'll rate Algieri a tad higher since I like him.

    Fact is, none of these guys have accomplished much.
