    They would all have been very dangerous for him.

    I would say that he'd have had realistic chances to have beaten any of them apart from Sanders. That truly would have been an awful match up for him stylistically. Byrd too, but that would have been very tactical, with little action in my opinion.

    Obviously if any of those guys had've caught him clean, it would have been all over. Guys like Rahman and Golota could seriously have hurt him. But I'd have given him a chance of beating them on points due to his incredible speed.
