    PW, Mosley and PAC will give him all sorts of problems.

    Paul Williams would beat him imo.

    I think Mayweather beats Pacquiao, but it's a very competitive fight. Cotto loses clearly to Mayweather. Mosley has a chance, but I favor Floyd.

    Mosley i`d say... only one with the speed, strength, skill and chin to keep on knocking at the door until it breaks down

    i think floyd probably beats everyone right now. pw has a great chance because of his natural gifts but you have to respect floyds genius and wonder if he can outbox him like quintana. and mosley although i would love to see it i still think he loses a close decision. this is the fight i believe floyd finally shows greatness in overcoming adversity though because shane will definatly make him fight.

    Williams, Cotto, and Mosely Could all beat Floyd. WOULD they beat him on a given day is another question.

    If Floyd doesn't find a way to cancel the fight altogether; Marquez will beat him.

    PW isnt a real WW. He should be up at 154-160 even 168. I do agree that floyd doesnt want to fight him though.

    With that kind of work rate and reach who would?

    Is it really? I find it peculiar that more people aren't giving him a chance. This is the guy that many critics claim actually beat Pac twice. Yet, just because he would have to fight at 143 1/2 lbs., it's a foregone conclusion that Floyd will beat him? All that says to me is that he won't have to dehydrate to make weight. Otherwise, Floyd's physical advantages aren't overwhelming.

    Any B fighter or above at 168, even Brian Vera, for instance
    Anybody at 160 in the top twenty even guys like Ornelas, McKart
    Anybody at 154 in the top ten like Santos, Dizzy, Angulo (even now), Forest,
    Cotto, Clottey, Cintron, Williams, Mosley at 147
    Pac at a catch of 143 or possibly even at 147.

    Would any of them win? They all would certainly have a good chance.

    I don't blame him for not taking on low paying super middle fights against bigger guys when he himself is a small welter, but like most, I would like to see him fight against the welters, rather than making smallish guys like Hatton and Marquez move up, Marquez being especially ridiculous.
