    Ha! 0 chance of that happening.

    Casamayor/Freitas avoided Floyd for a reason

    130 Floyd would have retired him. :deal

    I can see Casamayor being able to do what Zab did for the first four rounds for the whole fight. They were both southpaws, but Casamayor had an overall better pedigree and a way better chin.

    Nowhere near the power/speed that Zab had, better chin yes.

    Floyd would have solved him early and knock him out.

    Floyd @ 130 was a scary scary man. :thumbsup

    Floyd was a far better boxer than Casamayor. Far better.

    Do you believe there is anyone that would give Floyd even a slight challenge at 130?

    Or would he use his Tyson like power to KO them all within 2 rounds?

    A slight challenge, nothing more than that

    Floyd is GOAT of 130 for a reason....No man @ 130 is going to beat him...

    @ 130 I would not favor anyone to be honest .

    @ 135 Shane would have caught him mid rnds and took him out .

    Chavez would have the best chance of the 130 lb. fighters I've seen a decent amount of footage of.

    Arguello too, but I still favor Floyd. Camacho would give Floyd all sorts of problems, but he'd probably go into a defensive shell once he started tasting leather and lose a decision.

    There is no beating Floyd at 130.....

    It's impossible to even comprehend.

    Any knowledgeable boxing fan knows that.

    Floyd is unbeatable @ 30.
