    Thurman is easily the best 147 prospect he hasnt even been in a close fight
    Has power in both hands hes explosive and hes a big WW


    Hes fast enough to catch Floyd plus he feints alot and goes to the body well

    Funnily enough that would've been your response a couple of weeks ago had I favored Brook over Porter....

    Porter can beat Brook, Thurman can beat Mayweather, Berto can beat everyone....

    Do you watch boxing through a funhouse mirror ACS?

    Only way a fighter at 147 that can beat Floyd is to knock him out. Lucas has best power at 147. On same basis I pick Thurman as a close second.

    Khan is a joke and Brook is a "one two" basic fighter with decent movement. A basic fighter isn't beating Mayweather.

    Matthysse has best power at 147?, who did he prove it against?

    I wanted to answer this earlier but i got busy.


    Some of you may laugh at my pick but I think from 147 below that Danny Garcia has the best chance. He will LITERALLY only have one chance to beat floyd but I think of everyone in the game currently he is the best suited to do so.

    If you pay attention to all of Danny Garcia's fights one thing you have to give him credit for... actually two things... is that he does a great job of placing punches in very specific areas and the way he sets up his big punches are maybe the best in the sport at the moment. 9 x out of 10 when floyd gets hit with a shot that's ever dazed him (chop chop, zab, shane, etc) it's from a big loopy hook that comes from a weird angle and is set up. I think there is a small chance that DG could set that trap for floyd and finish him off.

    like i said it's literally ONE chance to do it but I think that one chance is greater than anyone else.

    IMO

    pac - he's too small for floyd. The style that pac employs is good for come forwrad fighters but pac can't bum rush floyd because floyd won't be there and pac doesn't have 1 punch KO power honestly. Unless you stick your chin out like a dumb ass

    khan - he has a great chance but his defense is too leaky. You have to be a sound boxer IMO to beat floyd

    bradley - punching is way too inaccurate. He's sloppy with his punches, he overwhelms most with raw volume

    Maidana - the style he's trying to beat floyd with can only get you close to beating floyd but not over the hump.


    Everyone else isn't experienced enough.




    Keep in mind this is just my opinion.

    as the poster above said..Danny Garcia is the one who will beat floyd if he ever gets a shot at him. I have been saying exactly the same for ages. Garcia is the one.
