    Lets make it a little more fair and say its a catchweight of 128.


    Out of Barrera, Morales and Marquez, who sees the final round?

    They all knock Floyd out cold and make him crossed eyed.

    You really think all 3 get knocked out?

    Are you kidding?

    Why not? Floyds KO% at 130 was 76%.

    He stopped Genaro Hernandez, Jesus Chavez, Diego Corrales, Emmanuel Augustus, and Angel Manfredy.

    None of which were known for being easy to KO.

    Super FW Floyd was nasty. I think Morales and Marquez see all 12.

    One already did, two weight divisions above his natural weightclass. And he is more prone to visiting the canvass than the other two.

    Floyd was a nasty SFW, but Castillo did twice at LW, so would these guys.

    Floyd was a better fighter at 130, with more pop and more activity.


    And Castillo I think would beat Marquez now.

    I'd say he might stop one of the three. More so on cuts or accumulation than anything. Floyd was strong offensively @130 but these guys were tough men. You've got to pick him over each of them though, they're just that bit slower than Floyd and none are particularly hard to hit.

    I think they would all make 12, but I don't think any of them would win. Morales' style would win him the most rounds, but he'd still lose.

    Morales would make it competetive.

    Castillo had 24 rounds with Floyd at LW, why wouldn't these guys last, being greater fighters than Castillo?

    130 floyd was willing to put punches together and his reflexes were pure class. I see Morales and Marquez getting stopped. Barrera...dunno.

    At 135 Castillo is better then every single one of them. Castillo weighed as much as a welter on the night, had a great chin, and was the type of fighter slickters usually look bad against.


    whereas, Morales, Barrera and Marquez are all boxer punches. And we know what Mayweather does to boxers.

    Please tell me you're not saying current Castillo would beat current Marquez?
