It'd be another Mayweather shutout.

Personally, with Floyd calling him out last year, he should really be looking for Martinez. A recent statement said that he was willing to come to 154 after Murray.
I'm hearing Guerro also. Don't count Guerro out. He has turned into one tough son of a gun.

man i just remind you that Mayweather was 15-20 pounds heavier than Márquez.that was an easy fight for floyd because he took advantage of his weight.

fsenties4 is a rookie! Class in session...
It comes to my mind now, how could heavyweights handle Valuev's 100 pounds advantage?

Valueve was an idiot. I remember in an interview he talked about not wanting to be a big puncher because it fed into the stereotype about him. So he trained and fought to not play into his strengths.

It'd have been easy for Floyd even if it were Marquez with the weight advantage. Floyd's style is all wrong for Juan and both Juan and Nacho have admitted it. Juan couldn't touch Mayweather but Mayweather was hitting Juan at will, something nobody else has done.

Floyd was too fast, too slick, and just all around too good for Juan to win. The weight had very little to do with the outcome.

He wasn't very quick, he was not a hard puncher, and his skills weren't that great. Completely shot Evander Holyfield should've gotten the nod in the decision when they fought, which pretty much says it all about how good of a champ Valuev was.

After a certain point, weight becomes less and less of a factor in the outcome of a fight. In the lower weight classes, weights are hugely important, but after 185-190, weights make less and less of a difference.
