    Bradley is closer to Alexander than Mayweather in terms of style. He wins a wide decision at either weight, although he may have to survive some scary moments like he did vs Provodnikov.

    It could go honestly go either way at 147.

    At 140 Bradley wins.

    I would be praying for Maidana to win but the smart money says Bradley via close but clear decision

    I don't know that I agree with this. Bradley was closer to Alexander in quality, but definitely resembled Mayweather in style, at least for me. Having Mayweather's style but lacking his talent is a terrible match-up, given Floyd's own troubles with Maidana.

    I would favor Marcos, provided he is at his best. His early performances were spotty, but he rounded out to become a better all-around fighter to my eyes. Comparing him to Provodnikov, he is bigger, more subtly skilled, and less predictable.

    It'd be closely contested, but Tim would get pummeled en route to 12. 8-4 Maidana.
