    Well, is Floyd easy to beat? It depends on whatever you're thinking maybe not in boxing or but maybe somewhere else. Everybody knows that Floyd is not a heavy puncher but he's well known for beating his girlfriend and his kids and this is not his first time that's why he pleaded guilty. Whether he's fighting Pacquiao or someone else next, people are going to tune in based on curiosity. After serving time in jail, people will be curious if it affects him physically and mentally or maybe he'll get more aggressive or rusty. There is however, the possibility that it could affect him mentally, I mean for all we know, he could come out, decide he's had enough and never fight again. It's just hard to say.

    Yeah, really ****ing easy. Castillo in 40+ fights is the only one to come CLOSE.

    IS he beatable? Yes.

    Will it be easy. No way.

    to fight Manny Pacquiao because he thats scared are you serious. I would

    Of course not. The best way to beat a slick counterpuncher is with an aggressive swarmer with a good chin, is relentless, and that won't tire in 12 rounds.

    Vacation, blood tests, jail. It all makes sense.

    It used to be heavier guys. He couldn't handle another move up.
    Then de la Hoya at 154 happened.

    Then it was prime guys who could fight on the inside.
    Then he fought and KO'd Hatton, on the inside.

    It became a fellow elite P4P ranked pure boxer.
    Then he won all 12 and KD'd JMM.

    Then it became an elite P4P ranked strong punching welterweight.
    Then he won 11 rounds against Mosley.

    Then, it was claimed to all along be a very young, hard punching southpaw who would outweigh him.
    Then he tripled up Ortiz in Compubox and KO'd him with a one-two.



    And that doesn't include the ATG days at 130, the brief stay at 135, and the little trinket pick up at 140.

    Even if he loses twice so what. The very best have lost and are legends now. All this undefeated BS is so overrated. He possibly has about four more fights left in him. It looks like even if lets say he beat Cotto, Pac, and Martinez and then loses to Sturm for example. That would be it, he lost to Sturm. We knew he was not a ATG, he lost to Sturm or whoever you want to fill the blank. Same for Pac. Say he fights Berto and by some chance he gets stopped. What do you think will be said about Pac afterward. I'm just saying, it is crazy we can't see this fight between Pac and PBF get made. It it does not happen in 2012, it won't happen. Besides, we are told the world is going to end by December, 2012 anyway.

    It will never end until they see PBF lose to possibly one of the K brothers.
