    I think realistically, Broner and Pacquiao are the only two guys that have a chance (albeit small) at beating Floyd. Broner is extremely confident, has speed and power...but too me, he is just a poor man's Floyd Mayweather and also, his punching power has not been proven at 147. Pacquiao is faded for sure, but I think stylistically, he presents some problems for Floyd with his footwork, speed and power. I really like Keith Thurman, but he's still green and not on Floyd's level skill wise. I've been a Floyd credit for years, but after seeing him beat Canelo, I gotta give him props. As long as he retires after his Showtime contract is over, I don't see him losing.

    Manny Pacquiao. But realistically nobody is going to beat him unless he fades a lot in a short amount of time.

    If you're asking me to choose from the guys that are actually being considered then, believe it or not, I really do believe that Khan has the bets chance mathematically. His foot speed, hand speed, combination punching and pop give him the bets chance of the guys that Floyd will most likely consider fighting.
    Now if you're asking what guy in that weight range could actually beat Floyd...regardless of whether or not he has any chance of facing him...I'd have to say Erislandy Lara. Lara is one of the few guys that I could actually envision consistently getting off first and dictating the tempo due to his length, accuracy and reflexes.

    I still want Manny to fight Floyd. You don“t discard this fight after all these years. These guys still should fight. It would still be one of the biggest fights ever. Even though golden boy and top rank would have to split the profit. But who cares? Give us what we want to see!
