    1999 Mosley. Floyd to green at that point to seriously challenge the much bigger Mosley.

    pac is not the same anymore.

    he's lost the focus and he also has degraded a lot more than floyd while floyd was on his long vacation.

    Voted Casamayor

    a great technician and counter puncher and just a rugged even dirty fighter who could punch with power and take a great shot

    he would be dangerous

    It's legal to brutally KO someone on a bus from Dearborn.

    Mayweather fans at these points where shook by all these fighters probably, that's why they are shook by Saul Alvarez and Amir Khan now- they don't want him to fight anyone he's not 100% guaranteed to beat.

    :deal

    I honestly see Floyd beating all of them without serious problems. I'm going with Mosley in 99 even though I think Floyd boxes his ears off. Mosley was a beast back then.

    I seriously thought about Casamayor also. I think Casamayor would give Floyd some problems early.

    Pacquiao gets beat easier than Marquez outboxed him in the rematch and third fight.

    I doubt to that extent, Marquez's lateral movement leftward was superb that night. Floyd's best bet would be to employ the Guerrero game-plan but he'd get backed up more often.

    Of the names listed, Mosley(@ 135) had the hand speed and pop to shock the world. Also(believe it or not), Harris could have given Floyd some problems with his lengthy, active jab. Margarito's size, workrate and conditioning would have made Floyd really uncomfortable. Everyone else would get get dominated...

    From the list, prime MOsley and prime Pacquiao have great chances of beating Mayweather - huge threats. Marg a potential threat style-wise but I think Mayweather would maybe get a decision there but would get HURT in the process, same with Cotto @ 147 - Williams would have been fascinating to see, I'd find it hard to call that one due to Williams' physical attributes that Floyd hasn't really dealt with before

    Marquez and Mayweather styles are completely different - one doesn't apply to the other
