Canelo! Saul Alvarez has a better chance to beat Mayweather.
In past Mayweather bouts, we've seen that the power is more effective than speed. Trying to match his speed will not be, and has not been effective. The bouts that Mayweather has actually been testing or challenged in, were those against stronger opponents.
For example: In Mayweather vs. Castillo I, you could argue that Mayweather lost this bout. It is still considered to be one of the most controversial decisions in boxing history by many. Personally, I scored it for Castillo as well. And Castillo was 9 lbs heavier, and much stronger, than Mayweather the night of the fight. Also, in Mayweather vs. de la Hoya, Oscar had much success against Floyd's shoulder-roll defense. However, CompuBox claimed that, while Oscar threw over 100 more punches that did Mayweather, he was only 21% in successfully landing those punches. But, while "CompuBox" is supposed to be a more precise way of counting punches, both thrown and landed, it is controlled by people. So it is not perfect. Much of the time, because of Mayweather's defense style, punches that actually land, esp to the body, are not counted as a landed punch. So while the CompuBox Punch Stats makes it look as if Mayweather should have won, I believe those numbers are flawed, and that de la Hoya should have won that fight.
But speed is extremely important as well. And if you rely on only strength, Mayweather will pick you to pieces (see Mayweather vs. Gatti). So, you need a very fast and quick boxer, who can also over-power Mayweather. And while Broner is about to fight his very first bout at 147 lbs, Alvarez was knocking out Welterweights over 3 years ago. And while Broner has a higher KO % at 84.6%, over Alvarez's 71.4%, most of those were Super Featherweights, while Alvarez's were over 147 lbs.
So Saul Alvarez is my answer.
P.S. Broner has yet to fight a big name fighter.
floyd mayweather would beat them both, broner needs time to get used to 147 and him and floyd are like brothers anyway so they wont fight. saul alvarez is the bigger man at 154 floyd always has to move up if alvarez wants the fight come to 150
Adrien Broner isn't worth s h I t and is overrated. Besides Mayweather will duck Caneli that I promise you.
Neither of the two has anything to offer that Floyd hasn't seem, & overcome before. Neither would win, but Alvarez would have the best shot due to size, strength, & experience.
The both have 0% chance to beat Floyd
The only one who can best Floyd is himself.
Floyd would beat them both unless they fight him whens he's like 40+
Saul would own both of them.
FLOYD WOULD DESTROY BOTH OF THEM!
Adrien Broner is fighting at 147 now after if he beats Paulie he might fight Floyd Mayweather jr.
