    He would for sure defeat Margarito. Maybe not easily, but he would beat him. Margo starts off too slow, and by round 7 "Money" would of built a lead so big that He can run the rest of the fight, and use his superior defensive skills to come out victorious.

    Prime Paul Williams, I think "Money" outboxes enroute to a UD

    You can say what ever you want about him beating Margarito and Williams but there's no Margarito and there's no Williams in there. That's the fact

    That's why it's easy to talk cheap about fantasy fights. These are purely just imaginations. :hi:

    It sounds like you're underrating him by saying 'his punches most likely won't faze them'. That seems to be the only strategy to beat Floyd, walking through punches :rofl Anyone who knows about boxing knows it isn't a valid strategy

    It also sounds like you're overrating Williams, Margarito and Cotto. Watch Williams-Lara, watch Margarito getting outboxed by Pac, Cotto and Clottey (early rounds). Tell me Mayweather wouldn't be more effective. Cotto has a better shot but he's so much slower, usually gets hurt and isn't nearly as skilled.

    The only guy who stands a shot is Martinez but if you watch his last fight you wouldn't fancy him, not even at 160

    yeah he overrated.

    he dont have one punch KO power and he has problems with world class fighters in their prime, like ortiz & castillo. thats why he doesnt face world class fighter in thier prime: tszyu, cotto, margarito, williams, pacquiao, martinez!

    I dont think he wuld hurt Marg or Williams (well not sure about this version). Mayweather doesnt have the 154 power that Lara had. And the reason they wuld walk him down is cuz thats the style they use. Williams isnt gonna all of a sudden gonna box him.

    Martinez i think beats anybody from 147 - 160. As long as hes fighting at 154+. Barker made him look bad cuz he boxed. That doesnt mean Floyd beats him, especially since Barker is huge compared to Floyd so he holds advantages that Floyd wuldnt have.

    Cotto is has a good jab. Cotto probably wuldnt beat Floyd at 147 but at 154 he has a better chance. Not saying its much though

    Probably the most overrated fighter if all time. Technically, Benton and Kalambay **** oh him. Resume wise, pathetic.

    I honestly don't know why he gets so much praise.

    I will try to go into details latter but I'd pick Mayweather in all of the above.
    Mosley would be the tougest fight.

    :patsch :rofl

    Duran is better than Floyd in every area. And yes, I mean defence as well.
