    None are ready. And Canelo was pushing it.

    Floyd needs a year for people to make a name for themselves.

    Pac was always the one . Outside of the other top level elites , only a southpaw can beat Floyd. Pac in 09/10 was a legitimate threat - a super talented, experienced, offensive machine -- most importantly an ATG fighter. Too bad we'll never see it.

    I don't think Floyd needs to be trained. I think he gives his uncle and Sr titles as trainers out of respect and loyalty.

    You can't train someone like Floyd. He is just born to box and possesses the highest boxing IQ of any fighter.

    Good point. I think mayweather could have buddy Mcgirt in his corner and he would still dominate. And buddy would go on to be the worse trainer to ever win trainer of the year.

    Since he makes almost all legitimate opponents look like ****, then yes, he is the boxing.

    Mayweather is a studbolt, hands down the best 154lb and down fighter.

    The only matchup that gets me excited would be Golovkin @ 154 . Even if GGG wins, Maywether is the best pound 4 pound. GGG is not better, just bigger, and fights with a style that may catch and hurt Floyd.

    Buddy McGirt?

    Sheeeet, he can have Miley Cyrus twerking in his corner and he'd still give props to Miley for being a great boxing trainer.

    There are other fighters with the IQ of Floyd. Andre Ward and Rigo are top tier, and Hopkins is close.

    Trout, maybe Lara too, would give floyd some trouble but it would boring.

    People REALLY need to stop naming Khan as a potential opponent for Floyd!!!!! He's had sooooo many opportunities to distance himself from the rest of his counterparts, but he consistantly fails....and fails miserably. The biggest money fight out there is Bradley, A.K.A. the guy who beat Manny. At least he has some kind of recognition. I'm not saying that he has a chance, but it makes a whole lot of sense, money-wise.

    This is how I rank the fighters in terms of threats to Floyd, from 154 down.

    Martinez 2010 @154 - 55/45 favoring Martinez
    Pac 2009 @147 - 55/45 favoring Mayweather
    Cotto 2007 @ 147 - 59/41 favoring Mayweather
    Williams 2007 @147 - 65/35 favoring Mayweather
    Margarito 2007 @147 - 70/30 favoring Mayweather

    Pacquiao must DESTROY Rios and probably leave TR to get that Mayweather fight.

    Broner must beat Maidana, then fight Garcia.

    Mayweather vs Pac

    Broner vs Garcia

    Winner vs Winner

    (Mayweather vs Broner) cuz the the All Access would be amazing. Idk if Broner can beat Garcia though....
