    Bernard hopkins can beat mayweather. He may be older but I think he can do it. Experience, bigger, more powerful because he done fought up to 175 I believe

    Broner doesnt have feet to beat Floyd. I dont see him developing that either, just doesnt have the ability.

    It would take a fighter that has a mirror image counterpunch style to him that has pac man ability to hurt a guy with either hand. Basically Manny with floyd type of defence. Only problem with that is its hard to find a guy that even has 50% the Defence and counters Floyd has. You` d have to be the type of non aggressor that would be able to make him BECOME the aggresor and possibly leave himself open for a counterpunch that can lay him down.

    And someone that can maybe get him to fight somewhere other than his hometown because by him fighting in Vegas all the time it all but assures him that even if ? does come down to a decision he's gonna get the homer vote from judges and will never get a chance to get jobbed like Pac did vs Bradley

    Only way he losing at this point is by KO. He's not getting out boxed, your best bet is to blitz him and go all out until you hurt him or gas. Its a dumb strategy but unless your bigger with near equal skill and speed its the only option.

    ? . if canelo would have been more aggressive, floyd would have got robbed or at least a draw.


    the same judge who had bradley beating manny(115-113), had floyd/canelo a draw.

    LMAO! Silva already got knocked the ? out. By a white boy nonetheless SMH.

    ...Floyd would slaughter him and any other UFC fighter in the ring. None of them got hands or stamina.

    someone who can maintain pressure while not over committing and trying to take his head off....

    someone who can move in the ring as well as he does....

    floyd can be beat, it just take an amazing focus and the ability to abandon something that's not working for something else...

    castillo fought a very close fight with floyd...rumors were that floyd was nursing an injury.... but castilo can fight 12 rounds in a phone booth.....as long as someone can do that and maintain focus the whole time....they gotta shot...castillo just gets suckered into a brawl too much....

    zab fought a good 4-5 rounds against him....he just didn't realize floyd was adapting, and tried to continue something that wasn't working anymore...

    emmanuel augustus gave floyd the toughest fight of his career... jsut by moving like a ? ...

    dude could hit and get the ? outta the way...switch strategies up like 3 times per round....hold effectively whenever he was at a disadvantageous angle...and over all just give a fighter like floyd fits, cuz he never falls into a rhythm....unfortunately judges just hate augustus......like they hate augustus......dude lost a lotta fights he shoulda won..... a more focused fighter like him who doesn't ? off the judges as much would have a chance against floyd....


    unfortunately no body like that is on golden boy...and bob wouldn't give floyd a payday if floyd kidnapped his son....

    so floyd haters best wish is to wait on him to either get old...or fight someone way too big like andre ward (who hates his guts)

    He's not losing there's no one close to him from 140-154 period.

    To beat Floyd you have to outwork him. But you risk being countered throwing a ton of punches.

    anderson silva???

    Silva is 6'2" 220lbs and is as good with his elbows, knees, and kicks as he is with his hands.

    Different sports; different weight classes.

    If they were ever to fight, do y'all see Broner being able to compete with Mayweather if he hone's his skills and footwork more?

    No. Broner has to work on his footwork, Floyd will eat his lunch, win by TKO.
