    It's my opinion that Demetrius Andrade would have the best chance at taking Floyd's 0.

    He's a tall, fast, rangy southpaw with a good jab, and can box.

    I'm far from sold on Andrade he's okay but he outboxed Brian Rose and Vanes Martirosyan, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

    It would be tough but possible. I think Floyd wins... his ring experience would be too much for Andrade I think.

    No way Floyd would ever fight someone 6'2 with that kind of reach and quick hands.

    Yeah. But honestly thats not really a knock on Mayweather.

    These guys are just way bigger.

    Looks good on paper but he needs to do more against better comp for me to say that.

    I think Lara would beat Floyd. And of course, GGG knocks Floyd out at 154.

    I kinda of co sign this experience could play a big role but I think with some seasoning Andrade has the physical attributes to be a good fighter got to show and prove it first though

    I'd like to see him fight a veteran like Smith or Trout. But Andrade does have potential. From what I've seen he's good, but not that good, not yet.

    LOL, dude you really dont know **** about boxing if you're overrating Andrade that much. He's extremely solid but FAR from proven.

    Could happen but I'd put my money on Lara. Everything Andrade is except better/more experienced.

    If Andrade beat Trout, Lara, or Alvarez I'd think twice, but he's not at that experience level yet.
