    Julian Jackson

    I don't think he can do it, but he has the best chance.

    I think to get this done you need to throw the kitchen sink at Floyd. Tommy's main power shot was the right cross. He scored the occassional KO with his left hand or with an uppercut or hook, but most of the time it was the right cross, and that was the shot he would go to when looking for the knockout. Jackson meanwhile could score a knockout with any punch, either hand at any range. I think this makes Jackson much more unpredictable and more likely to score the upset.

    Only Hearns could in my opinion. J.Jackson may have hit harder, but most of his Ko's came off counters. R.Robinson possibly at welterweight.
    Cuevas if he caught May " not focused " ( unlikely)
    But no one could other than the freak of nature Hearns at welterweight and Jr. Middleweight. He is the only one with the right amount of speed, power, skills, aggression and overwhelming physical advantages in my opinion. Other than Hearns ,it's VERY unlikely anyone could all the way up to Lt.heavy . Not in 1 rd.

    I would get Marciano into fighting shape; 135lb. On his 1000th punch of the first round, he’d score the KO

    Nah bro, Marciano would be 250lbs of pure muscle with today's nutrition.

    Fritzie Zivic might make him quit within one round given his anything goes dirty tactics, he'd make Maidana look like a ballerina.

    For a pure KO, possibly Terry Norris at 154, once he got going he was devastating. A prime Duran or Pac might get to him from 135 - 147. Hearns at 147 - 154.

    Corrie Sanders would easily do the job Colonel, but he was a heavyweight.

    The honest answer is that no fighter in history under 154lb could do this.

    Your best bet is to throw Langford at him.

    Probably nobody. If all he's doing is trying to survive, Mayweather may be almost impossible to knock out.
    If pressed, then maybe (huge maybe) someone like Hearns.
    Tyson, if we're allowed to choose a heavyweight. (Again, big maybe)

    No argument from me there. Langford's the best hope to pull this off. If he was around now, and 154-, and offered money like that, he just might do it. Either that or get DQ'd trying to. Either way, I don't think the bell would ever ring for round 2, not with THAT amount of money being offered.
