    Default Can anyone beat Floyd

    I can't see it happening. 4 fights left and I don't think anyone from light welter up to light middle will be able to get near him.

    Would he/ does he need to, go up to middle weight and fight Golovkin? I think that might be a step too far, but its the only way I think he has any chance of losing.

    He is a 36 year old boxer with 17 years of pro boxing in his legs, legs he relies to a large degree. Plus the reflexes cannot be quite as quick as they once were. They are signs that he could slip, but so far so good, and if he performs at the level he did this morning, then I cannot see anyone under 160lbs beating him anytime soon.

    Im not gonna lie I think GGG is way to slow and has no where near the footwork to beat PBF.

    I don't think he has the skills either, but he has some serious power in those fists. Enough to trouble anyone, let alone someone who should really be two weight classes below him.

    No don't think there's even anyone out there that can even make it a competitive fight. I honestly think the best fight would be against someone like khan I think khans hand speed is a little faster than floyds and I think that would be interesting for at least 6 rounds then floyd stops him. It needs to be someone that has very fast hands and a high punch output if pacman wins and looks good that's another fight I would like to see.

    I gotta agree I think the speed of Khan and Pacman would give him problems and besides dropping to 140 to fight Garcia or go to middleweight there really is no one out there to really challenge him or make the kind of money he did for Canelo. Unless they start hyping up undefeated Kell Brook by next May.

    Anyone see the video of Hopkins wanting to meet him at 160 for a fight ?

    Not sure how realistic the fight is though, but still would be an intriguing match up

    Call me crazy because the guy can be beaten by just about anyone on a given night but I think Khans style presents difficulty for Floyd. Should he get past Devon I can see him at the front of the line.

    Khan has the height,reach and speed to cause Floyd a little problem but as soon as Floyd taps that chin it will be over.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Man, I just don't know what to say. How can a guy like Floyd still surprise you? I was so wrong and it is not because Canelo was off or overrated. I know people like to underrate opponents after they get wiped. I thought Floyd was just talking when he said he is even sharper for this fight. At 36 Floyd really does still have the best reflexes/timing in the game. I've never seen anything like this before. Canelo saw a better Floyd than Cotto or Mosley saw. Floyd Sr has a lot to do with bringing back the sharp shooting and then disappearing. His rope play and even his shoulder roll was better. When "that" Floyd shows up the only way to beat him is not planned. You have to seriously get lucky. You're going to be beat to the punch trying to run a plan. I don't see anyone beating him. The better question is where does he go from here? Who can be next? Lets be realistic. Bhop or anyone at 160 is not happening. Floyd didn't even make it up to 152. On fight night he weighed less than he did at the weigh in. He's not going to give up that kind of weight advantage as well as he shouldn't. Bhop is just trying to lure his way into that lottery. Does Danny Garcia get the automatic walk in? I think he is the most deserving. To skip Garcia I think both Pac and Khan need to win more than their next fight unless Pac looks marvelous in stopping Rios. Who do you think should get the next shot at Floyd? What if Bradley looks impressive against Marquez? Arum is going to have to concede at this point.

    Lets see how Brandon Rios Goes against Pac Man, maybe he can get a shot at Mayweather during the last 4 Mayweather fights

    Floyd needs to fight Manny Pacquiao now... quit duckin' the dude. Listen to this ESPN interview right before the fight- he can't even bear to hear Manny's name without quivering. lolololol....
