    3 *****s voted so far that all of those boxers have a 0% chance to beat floyd (as voting 'none' in that context asserts) ? :rofl

    None of the tomato cans on your list. Only GGG has a chance -- and that's at 154.

    Only one I'll give a chance on that list is Pacquiao. All the rest don't stand a chance really. While I expect many to give Lara a shot based on size, he's a one two fighter and a one two fighter sure as hell isn't going to beat Mayweather. Brook also falls into the one two category.

    From best chance to worst chance among those:

    Lara
    Pacquiao
    Bradley
    Brook
    Khan
    Algieri

    I list Lara as though that fight would be at JMW. I don't know why the TS included Lara with the caveat of the fight being at 147 as Lara has never fought there before.

    Why do you think Algieri has a better shot against Floyd than Brook or Lara (unless your reasoning is "Lara at 147" which I might agree with you)?

    Algieri has far higher workrate than either of them, potential to land far more just based on volume alone. Lara is too similar to Floyd but Floyd is better, it would be similar to Trout Lara or Vanes Lara it would be a very boring fight, Floyd being better than both of those opponents even at 154. Brook is very good but hasn't shown me anything that would trouble Floyd.

    Pacquiao, experience, veteran boxer, strong southpaw.
    He has the tools to beat Mayweather.

    Lara is the only one who'd have a shot at winning.... But unfortunately Money would make the adjustments and the song remains the same.....

    This I don't believe at all..... Mayweather vs Ndou.... This is exactly how it would go. Watch that fight ! Long lankey dude who throws a lot of punces with power & speed. Watch that fight... That's how Hearns vs Mayweather would go !

    lol fighting Ndou would be similar to fighting Hearns. Now I have heard it all. I like Mayweather but Hearns would take him out within three rounds tops.

    Maidana already beat him once but Pac would destroy him and beat him from one corner to the other.
