    2008 version of Miguel Cotto

    These days, I'd go out on a limb, and pick Andre Berto

    Today, I'd say Khan just based on style. I think he would create some problems for Mayweather due to length and speed. In 1 year, I will say Brook. I have a feeling he'll make some big noise coming up and rise to the top spots of the division.

    Right now Andre Berto has the best shot to pull off a major upset. The best answer is none of the above though. In the Long term Mike Jones has the best shot.

    Cotto

    The Ortiz that Mayweather beat had more of a shot against him than anyone else on the list.

    After that, I'd go in order: Berto, Jones, Khan, Brook, Bradley, Guerrero, Peterson

    Cotto, or maybe Bradley. With Bradley, there's always the chance he gets off to a good start, the fight ends on cuts/headbutts, and Bradley wins a technical decision.
