    Floyd is a top 10 all time 130 pounder and 147 pounder. He has not done nearly enough to be judged at 154. That would be like judging Pacquiao's 147 pound career. 2 1/2 fights are not enough.

    I would even think that kirkland before he went to prison would tko floyd, it is really not fair to messure him agains these greats.
    You can compare floyd to prime welters but even then i would rate them over floyd, he lacks power and size against guys like leonard,robinson,hearns, to be honest i think he would have a shot at 147 duran, at the lower weights its duran anyday.

    He would probably go to an all girls middle school and start beating up some 7th and 8th grade girls so he could be arrested on felony assault charges and not have to face any of the above mentioned fighters. Problem solved. Back to you, Jim.

    Floyd's not even close to top 10 all time at 147. Not even in the same zip code as those guys.

    I'd be curious as to how Floyd would do against the Hoya that fought Vargas.

    DLH decisions Mayweather by a wide margin

    117-111

    sounds about right

    its the wrong weight . Remember floyd could only get to 150lbs when he fought Oscar, these are very good bigger men. On another point Benitez fought at light Welter and Welter, divisions Floyd would be more comfortable in. Benitez 3 - 0.
