    ?

    I'm going with...

    Tsyzu
    SSM (back in the 90's, early 00's)
    Cotto (2007/9)
    Margarito
    Williams

    I haven't put Pac or Martinez due to the fact those fights probably won't happen, and it's more of a "How good would Floyd's legacy be without those two fighters on it in someway, shape or form" ;-)

    Mosley did everything possible to avoid Floyd. From tooth aches to vacations.


    Also, Cotto but only in retrospect. He would still have lost to Margo after and Pacquiao and would have been considered a hypejob by now.

    2005 Mosley (any earlier wasnt possible due to different weight classes)

    2009 Pacquiao

    2001 Morales (after Barrera win)

    2008 Margarito (if he had never been caught a cheat)

    2007 Hatton at 140 (even though Hatton weighed more that FMJ in their fight)

    These are the two that could have and should have happened...considering who he fought instead.

    please explain how those two could have happen especially Tsyzu when they were on different networks. We all know FLOYD ASKED FOR THAT FIGHT A MILLION TIMES

    Remember that I said nothing about Floyd ducking Tszyu. He is simply an opponent that Floyd should have fought. I am well aware that he had zero control over who he fought back then. Margarito, on the other hand, was avoided like the plague by Floyd and many others.

    This is Spot on. And even then THey would have been too old, too slow, too dum and be all bum afterwards. So I dont think this would cut it. Stick in the top 20 ATG Prince :)
