    Bradley is far more skilled.

    But either way, they both have no chance, although Bradley would make it more competitive IMO.

    Bradley would make it as competitive as Guerrero or maybe i am just overestimating Guerrero.
    I think Bradleys style suits Floyd well and he would not have too many problems with him.

    More skilled? i don't know about that.... More athletic yes. It is a tall order to win by skill against Floyd for he got more skill than any boxer so what good would that do for Tim? And Tim doesn't have the size or the power to bother Floyd so he have ZERO chance. Robert at least got size, the style, and chin to make it a dog fight.

    Guerrero doesn´t have the defense to beat Floyd in a dog fight. Maybe if he can just keep on coming and coming but if it gets too though for Floyd then he will just "run" like he did in the last round against Cotto.

    I don't see how Robert's size will bother Floyd at all, since Robert is pretty much a blown up Lightweight. Dude is just tall. And i really can't see how his style will bother Floyd at all...He tries to box with Floyd he will get schooled, if he tries to pressure him and rough him up, he's gonna get outfought. Robert has no power at WW, and Bradley probably has a better chin anyway.

    Floyd-Ghost is a ****ing mismatch.

    Robert got a 10% chance of winning against Floyd.
    Tim got a maybe 2% chance of winning against Floyd.

    Outboxing Floyd with no power is simply not happening.
    At least Robert may have some headclashes/diry rough house tactics that may work in his favor.

    Exactly. Alexander is a terrible fight and unjustifiable.

    At this point is see nobody as a real threat to Floyd

    at 147 im for unification with Bradley or alexander

    or jump to 154 for alvarez

    or to 160 for Martinez

    I think those are fights that will challenge him

    Who isn't a mismatch for Floyd unless his opponents is two weight classes higher than him?

    Robert has been showing up the night of the fight at 150 for years when he was at 135lb. Thats why he kept on saying that he is bigger than Floyd bc Floyd shows up to fight at his natrual weight which is basically 147-149. Was it a surprise that the ghost was able to manhandle WWs? Not to me and you guy fools who thinks Robert never carried 150lbs.

    Thats Bradley's specialty right there. :lol::lol:

    You may be right about Bradley having 2% chance of winning. However, Ghost has 0 % chance of winning.

    Exactly right. people will complain until Floyd fights someone with skills that is substantially bigger than him.
