    Nobody beating floyd from 140-154lbs and his ring iq is levels above anybody in boxing right now.Canelo would get outclassed because he's a counter-puncher and canelo most definitively isn't winning a boxing match in the center of the ring and floyd wont chase him like trout neither.Canelo would have to take chances like cotto did and that's not his style so he will get schooled.

    A good boxer weighing 170+ fight night might have a chance.

    Anyone weighing 154 and downwards gets beat

    Canelo is not in his prime yet. I do think that he has what it takes to beat mayweather but he needs to have better stamina. I dont think anyone weighing ten pounds or less than mayweather can touch him. He is simply the best of this generation, however in a fantasy match up i think chavez sr would beat mayweather with his ability to cut off the ring and his body punching

    Pac is mostly power too. His footwork is horrible. Couldn't cut off old man Mosley. Pac is predictable. The old, slow JMM of last fight timed him like crazy landing the same punch that resulted in KTFO several times cleanly. Pac is a fan favorite, but he's not at the level of Floyd.

    Canelo isn't going to beat Floyd. I'm one of Floyd's biggest haters and paid 70 bucks last night for the 1% chance Guerro would fluke out, that's how bad I want to see him beat. But the truth is, there's no A fighters out there anymore and Floyd is the last of the Mohicans. He fought in a time with ATGs, beat many of them later in their careers. These young upstarts aren't ATGs, their B rated fighters. ALthought floyd has slipped, a 70% floyd still beats these kids at 110% with little problem.
    I think Floyd has also changed his mindset and is now humbled.

    Martinez has the best chance.

    Canelo isn't versatile or quick enough to trouble Floyd, who will easily adjust and outbox Canelo.

    I'd like to see Trout give it a shot, but not sure how he would do.

    Khan would be fun to watch for the 4 rounds it took for Floyd to end it.

    GGG. Genady can beat Floyd, but not Canelo. You guys are dreaming if you think a guy with tiny arms and low work rate can beat such an elusive opponent.
