    Beat Cotto at 154 - Probably wins this
    Beat Pacquiao at 147 - Probably wins this
    Beat Martinez at 160 - 35% chance of winning this
    Beat Ward at 168 - 15% chance of winning this

    In conclusion it's not gonna happen

    Assuming they are at their current relevance status except successful up to the point he faces them, a very remote but somewhat possible scenario that would make me consider is:

    2012: TKO 7 Cotto @ 154 in Vegas
    2012: UD 12 Sergio @ 160 in Vegas
    2013: UD 12 Pacquiao @ 147 in Vegas
    2013: KO 1 Khan @ 147 in London
    2014: RTD 9 Pacquiao II @ 147 in Manilla
    2014: TKO 3 Alvarez @ 154 in Vegas
    2015: TKO 2 Kirkland @ 154 in Vegas
    2015: UD 12 Proksa @ 160 in New York
    2019: UD 12 Alvarez II @ 160 in Mexico City

    Retire 51-0, KO 31

    Edit: yeah, he would be the GOAT with that...

    It's impossible for that to happen.

    That being said, I believe he would beat anyone in the range 130-147.

    If he beats Cotto, Pacman and Martinez i would have him as a solid top 10. Maybe even without Martinez if he beats Alverez and he goes on to do good things.

    Cotto 154
    Pac 147

    Definatley has to beat these two!


    Maybe these under the right circumatances:

    Martinez but that will only happen at 154 Floyd wont go to 160
    Alvarez if he keeps getting better 3 or 4 more fights, at 154
    Maybe Khan or Bradley providing they both keep winning from now on and beat a couple of names at 147 before they fight and fight each other first. Winner gets Floyd!

    Thats five fights which under the right circumstances i think would make him, in a lot of peoples eyes GOAT. But those fights need to be under the right conditions. Khan is coming off a loss and Bradleys not fought enough names. If they can fight each other and beat a couple of names at 147 then they would make for a decent fight. Khan gets a lot of abuse but he is a good fighter.

    I already have him up there in top 20. Im a big fan of his. (also a Pac fan so dont call me one of those stupid names like a '*****' or something)

    a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step...

    maybe he should start with fighting pacquiao.

    Dig up and defeat SRR in a 15 round championship contest. To be the best you've gotta beat the best. Wooooooooooo!
