    I think Hatton at 140. Not bitter, but Cortez ruined that fight for me.

    You either got to outbox him or pressure him cuz no one is knocking him out. If he was still active, Brook, Spence, and Crawford all would have a chance. A prime Oscar, Mosley, and Forrest would of done it and a prime Quartey would of come very close too. That era ****s over the weak welterweight era Floyd fought in easily. Not so much because of the style, just much better fighters.

    Mosley in his absolute prime would have taken Floyd out.

    Mosley sucked against boxers prime or not. PBF beats any version of him. He's too dumb.

    Too bad he couldn't take it to the body which is how everyone starts to hurt him before he crumbles. Margs chin is stronger than Pacs doe.:lol:

    Tall fighters with longer reach and quick counter punchers would be my guess.

    I just read and laugh on this forum Paul Williams beats Floyd but got out boxed by quintana yea ok Margo beats Floyd but was losing to cotto by a mile before the stoppage which we know Floyd has more heart defense stamina and boxing skills than cotto so yea another stupid comment Floyd loses to prime Oscar yea ok well how come Oscar didn't jump at the opportunity to beat him when Floyd was coming up it was Oscar who was the cash cow he could have fought Floyd at any point lol another dumb comment maidana gave Floyd hell yea ok an old ass Floyd don't use dumb ass arguments like that Margo would have been fighting a prime Floyd not an old Floyd

    Margarito is a taller, longer, more active pressure fighter than Jose Luis Castillo...

    That would have been a great.
