    Im especially interrested if he would move up to middleweight and beat Abraham.

    Abraham is pretty stationary and doesnt move all that well, just covers up, I think that Floyd would be able to UD him if he is very careful

    Thoughts?

    None of them, since it's highly doubtful he steps in the ring with any of them to begin with.

    Floyd would not be able to hurt Arthur, and therefore he would get zero respect. AA could pretty much do as he pleased. Maul and manhandle, and create the opportunity to land a bomb, and then we're done.

    I think he could beat Kirkland. The kid is still pretty green.

    I would not count Mosely or Wiliams out. I'd actually like to see those fights happen.

    Pavlik? Just shut the **** up. First time Floyd rolls his shoulder up to protect his face he ends up with his clavical sticking out through his eye socket. Get ****ing real!

    I think he picks holes in Kirkland at 154, has some shaky moments but cruises to a comfortable decision. Mosley can go either way, Shane definately has the speed, jab and combinations to trouble him. Same with Williams I suppose, plus the height factor. Abraham I don't rate, used to, not any more. Dude is far too lazy and guys only have to survive patches against him. That said, I think he's too big for Mayweather. Pavlik would batter him.

    lets just say Ann Wolfe sleeps with his mother, Paul Williams thrashed his house, Mosley steals his girlfriend, and Abraham shits on his lawn....who do think he will beat then?

    can you imagine what would happen if aa or pav landed a flush power shot. if pav hit pbf w/ the same right that drove taylor into the corner or if aa hit him w/ one of those huge left counters out of nowhere like he did against miranda in their second fight???

    i agree he's not easy to hit period let alone flush (i think oscar MAY have caught him w/ a good left in their final second final round exchange)

    pbf has ko power at 147 and under but pav an aa walk around at 170+ so i would think they could just swing for the fences w/o having to worry about ever getting hurt by a counter. haha pbf aint check hookin one of them into a ringpost (which is one of the prettiest things ive seen in a ring)

    all compubox has to show is one power shot landed and it will be the one that sparks him cold. that can't be seen as a knock against pbf either b/c pav and aa are beasts

    1. Kirkland 2. Pavlik 3. Abraham 4,5 Mosley Williams either order! The problems Floyd would have is speed and tempo. He gives up speed w/Mosley and tempo w/Williams.

    he would beat mosley but other guys are just too big for floyd. Probably outbox kirkland but i'm not to sure. All those guys are big for floyd
