    That fight would be such a beat down. Do you think Mayweather would KO Bradley or do you think Bradley's corner would just have to stop the fight?

    I am not sure. Bradley is fast and has heart. Mayweather probably saw what all of us saw, and that is that Bradley chin was shaky tonight. So he might want to fight him.

    As easy as it would be...at this stage in Money's Career...it wouldn't be easy...Bradley has the skill set, the legs, heart; the youth/conditioning & ring IQ to push Floyd, yet he lacks the power to make a dent though...

    Alexander has all the attributes apart from ring IQ & experience.
    Khan would look good on paper but realistically...poor jaw, wastes energy...no ring IQ

    Good three matchups but I disagree on Alexander not having ring IQ and experience. He has little heart but is a very smart boxer. That being said he would be too small to fight with Floyd. At besti would be a JMM matchup repeated

    Bradley doesnt have the skill set. He couldn't hurt Mayweather and that is a big problem. It would be bad man. I dont even want to see that fight and I loved watching Floyd beat up Gatti.

    I've said it would be an easy fight for him, but I'm not sure how this involves Mayweather

    Would be tough. I'm not sure if Mayweather beats Bradley. It would probably be at least as tough of a fight as the Cotto fight.

    He hurt Ruslan Provonikov so why couldn't he hurt Mayweather?

    He might not have a lot of power but he threw 1000 punches. Margarito and Williams weren't 1 punch KO artists either but got knock outs by just beating all over you for 12.

    Mayweather almost got knocked down by Shane Mosley. Anyone can get hurt.

    Of course he has the skill set, Jab, inside game, some of the best foot work in boxing today (bar his last fight), typically does not get hit flush often in fights, good defensive capability, ability to ADAPT to the fighter he is facing...these are skills...(I have not even mentioned physical attributes)

    Furthermore in my original post I stated he could not make a dent in mayweather...the lack of power is his major short coming...

    Why couldn't he? That is the strategy to beat Floyd. He would have to throw 1000 punches to win on points and make Floyd look old.

    He attempt to throw that many punches he is getting KO'd period. Floyd would counter him to death.

    If he's so easy to KO then why didn't the Russian do it?

    I don't think Mayweather has that kinda power. Who has Mayweather 1 punch KO'ed? I also think Bradley's defense is very good when he has his legs and when he boxes. Also Mayweather is smaller than he is so Bradley would whoop him on the inside.

    To win Bradley has to go on the inside, beat the crap out of Mayweather by throwing 100 punches a round, then go on the outside. Basically he has to fight like Joe Calzaghe and he showed me he could fight like that against Ruslan.

    Mayweather would probably take a Bradley fight after Canelo-Trout.
