    My guess is it's how he looked at each weight, that version of him.

    Lol all good guys. I'm asking more about current boxers right now that you think could give him a run for his money and I mean like seriously skilled guys. Not someone who will give him a decent fight but a legit chance to beat him. @LANCE99 @latineg

    Maybe Golovkin if he doesn't end up a skeleton in making 154. Lara might make it an interesting (but boring) fight.

    I suspect that Floyd is too old now and his reflexes have declined, which is why he isn't coming back for #50. He's quite smart and knows when to stop in my opinion.

    In view of that, I'd say Golovkin, Canelo, Andrade, Lara, Charlo @ 154
    Spence, Brook, Thurman, and maybe even Garcia and Porter @ 147
    Crawford @140.

    All of the above would have a reasonable chance of beating Floyd now.

    I see a ud vs thurman, brook, porter and garcia. The others are pretty special talents though and I agree with you there.
