Before I type up this list I want people to understand why I am making it. Floyd has 5 more fights on this so called contract of his, at the age of 36 there is a good chance he will lose one of those 6 upcoming fights. Everyone has been calling out floyd for the past 10 years, some do it for the pride and some do it for the money. I'm going to list the top 5 fighters I wouldn't mind seeing floyd lose to and why..... 1. Amir Khan Why: As suspect as kahn has been in his past few fights, you can't say that a) he isn't entertaining b) he doesn't have heart c) he doesn't take the biggest challenges. A lot of people call floyd out and think they deserve the fight (ortiz/guerro) but they really don't. They haven't done **** to earn it, they've barely fought anyone to really prove they are deserving. They just want the money which I think is bull****. Khan has battle his way to the top, falled from grace, and is battling his way back up now. If he were to fight floyd and win I would respect it. Even tho he can be annoying as **** 2. Adrian Broner Why: I understand the odds of this fight happening are slim to none. But still, broner so far has seemed open to taking on the bigger challenges of his division when the time is right and has earned the respect the proper way (not like berto or some other guys) if he were to dethrone floyd he woudl be a guy i wouldn't mind seeing carrying the torch. 3. Tim Bradley Why: Similar to Amir Kahn this guy has fought everynoe and rarely takes bull**** matchups. He definitely went through some **** his past 2 fights but this guy fights EVERYOEN under the sun and embraces the roll and never begs for money fights like a whiny ***** (guerro/ortiz). Just like kahn i doubt he would have much of a chance to beat floyd but if he did win atleast this guy is a blood and guts warrior that you can respect. 4. Juan Manual Marquez Why: Self explanatory. Marquez is a true champ and has fought his way up from the bottom for a long time. He finally was vindicating by knocking out pacquiao after being jerked by pacquiao and arum after all those years. I don't expect to see a rematch unless JMM is getting more money than pacquiao. I think it would be great for the sport and the person i JMM could beat floyd. Again doubt it would happen but I've always appreciated teh way JMM handled himself in teh sport. 5. Retirement Why: personally..... if its not one of these 4 guys beating floyd i don't want to see him lose. Guerro - berto - pacquiao don't seem worthy to me for the way they've operated in the sport. Canelo still has work to do at 154 (maybe 2 more fights to earn floyd and I would change my mind) and anyone else out there is probably to green in my opinion. I don't mind seeing great fighters lose but i hate when a great fighter loses to a *****. Some may feel floyd is a ***** but he earned it the old fashion way for the most part. He beat true champions to make his name early (castillo & corralles) he never cheated the scale like everyone does now and he took the best available competition that he could (clottey-cotto-margarito-pacquiao were all arum fighters which pretty much made the fights impossible) some may feel like he wasted his career not making those fights but most of us will agree its a shame gbp & top rank cant sit down to make a generic random fight, so i doubt its much different for a floyd fight. as far as tonights fight goes i expect floyd to win. RG hasn't dealt with this much class before in his life. Keep in mind 2 fights ago this guy was struggling with selchuck ayden. Obviously ayden & floyd have two totally different styles. But i just don't think he's mentally ready yet. we shall see
None of those dude can beat Mayweather, but Broner is better all the guys on that list. No disrespect to Juan Manual Marquez
Id like to see broner fight someone like mares, someone that will pressure him non stop, imo he already lost to ponce de leon, i think mares can give him problems, but youre right i dont think anyone of those fighters can beat floyd
None of these guys could do it....however if he slows down enough the only guys that would give him work are Alexander or Bradley.... Youth, Skill-set, Hunger
You sound whiney as ****. Pacquaio for the possible spectacular KTFO possibilities. None of your fantastic four can do it. JMM although winning against Pac's style obviously has **** all for Floyd. Only Baby Floyd Broner has a chance to win but Pac is the only one to possibly KO the guy. Unlikely, but not impossible.
Wrong weight class. Broner fighting Malignaggi at 147 in his next fight. Mares chillin at 126. Guerrero would pressure him though.
Well broner has moved on obviously but i wouldve liked the mares fight back when he was in the lower weight classes
Anyone sincerely. When I buy a Mayweather fight on PPV, it is simply in the hope of seeing him and his facial expression if he ends up on his ass.
Khan !!??? Hell NO ,, he's the one guy that does not deserve to win against Floyd. The reason he losses, is because of his disrespect and under estimation for his opponents, which is why he gets his ass kicked.
Whoever wants Khan, of all fighters, to beat Mayweather and become the boxing headline needs to immediately jump in the sea with an anvil on his neck.
Broner does not have a chance. We don't even know if his power will be there at 147. Canelo is the only one that stands a chance against Floyd, other than a prime Pac-Man. To put it simply, Floyd's only threats are at 154 lbs.
