    No one beats him, but out of the fighters in his weight class who would give him the toughest challenge?

    1. lara- he won't stand in front of floyd...he's got better feet and would be a real challenge.

    2. bradley- he's got a lot of depth to his game and will give floyd several different looks.

    3. garcia- he's an excellent counter puncher that is capable of dealing with speed plus he seems to be very heavy handed.

    4. thurman- for the same reasons as bradley and garcia.

    Well he refuses to fight the best 2 on that list so we'll never know. Apart from that I'd say Lara.. big, crafty, quick southpaw with decent pop.

    1. Pacquiao/Lara
    2. Provodnikov/Mathysse
    3. Maidana

    Rest are easy fights for him. Bradley is better than most of the above, but an easier fight for Mayweather.

    Lara - unlike the others he may not be as fast but he will actually try and use movement and boxing ability if he fights Floyd
    Other (Pacquiao) - the speed workrate to go along with experience will make it very difficult for Mayweather
    Khan - I think his speed and long arms will make it interesting for about 4 rounds

    He'd beat all those guys on that list but in my opinion, who'd give him the most trouble stylistically of the options on your list:

    1. Pacquiao
    2. Matthysse
    3. Provodnikov
    4. Khan
    5. Bradley
    6. Garcia
    7. Lara (I know a lot would have him higher but I think he will try to box Mayweather then get completely outbox)
    8. Maidana
    9. Other
    10. Broner

    you know its a fact you are picking a far inferior fighter to trouble floyd when you need to create certain circumstances or specific years that need to play in to your failed guy making a fight of it...

    especially when said failed fighter is younger than floyd

    pathetic

    I agree, both will cause him problems
