    I honestly think Mayweather schools them all, but the only fighter that can put up a half decent fight is Khan imo

    Ortiz for me. He has pretty good speed, good power, and is naturally bigger. If his hea is right, he could be a future p4p fighter IMO.

    Other than him, it's Khan. His speed may give him problems, but I don't think he's accurate enough to be effective.

    Stylistically Khan Does well vs counterpunchers And is very fast. However he also lacks à lot of things, thats why I think Floyd ud's him or stops him late

    Canelo says he can make 147. He'd give Floyd the toughest fight imo.

    Man I hope the Pac fight comes off to dispel this bull****. Floyd has become some mythic figure in people's minds.


    Aside from Pac, there's no one in that list with the experience to beat Floyd, or at least have a good shot coming in. Ortiz has a style to give him problems but is lacking the experience. Amir Khan has some potential down the road. Floyd is getting older though, it depends how he looks in his next fight.

    Its because he is undefeated and has great defense, if he gets ko'd a few times even when he would be way past prime then all of a sudden everyone with power would have a good shot at him in fantasy match ups, while now if you make a thread who wins tito or floyd 80% or more picks floyd to ud him.
    However the current fighters at 140/147 arent on that level yet so its easy to see why he is favoured in everyone, its the same with pac, marquez has the best shot vs pac if it was at 140, the rest of the guys would get beaten up for sure.

    ^ What I'm reffering to is how some people still say Floyd would easily school Pac. I just find it ridiculous. It just really tells you how overrated he is in some peoples eyes. He's become more a myth then reality.

    That's true. I'm just going on what he says. Maybe with the right prep he can.

    I really dont put him into a "mythical" category.

    Against Ortiz (As you said) His lack of experience will hurt him, he just wont have the tools to adjust when Mayweather makes his adjustments

    Against Tim Brad, Mayweather will be able to outbox him or fight in the pockets. Bradley has been ovverated imo

    Khan has the handspeed and awkward combos that will test Mayweather early, but in all seriousness Mayweather will have more than enough defence to get away from Khans speed. UD win

    Kell Brook...Not enough experience.

    Its not that Mayweather is "Mythical" its just that the calibre of opponents arent up to a high enough standard

    Bradley and Ortiz. They will keep on pushing.
    At this point Floyd schools them all.

    Oh whoops I misinterpreted your post. I thought you were including Pacquiao in your list. I agree with everything else you said there :good We'll just have to wait and see how floyd looks in his next fight. I'd actually give Ortiz the best chance out of all these guys right at this moment. If he shows the kind of peroformance he gave against Berto, I can definitely see him giving Floyd a rough night.

    Hopefully, but workrate alone wont win Ortiz at least 4 rounds. Hes gotta have a strategy, and a good jab

    This is an interesting fight because we can see how well Floyd will be able to counter a southpaw with a high workrate. Perhaps a small indicator for the Pac fight??
