    floyd would have been in battles with Kostya Tszyu, Joel Casamayor, Miguel Cotto, Paul Williams and Antonio Margarito. He elected to avoid those battles though. For obvious reasons.

    yes we have seen floyd in a few battles but he has always found a way to win , in his fight with Chavez , Chavez managed to scrape floyd along the ropes but Floyd was able to maintain his composure and switch game plans in his favor and stop chavez in the later rounds, and thats my point is that floyds biggest assets is that he can switch game plans when he needs to, we have yet to see margarito switch plans if his size and strength is nolonger a factor, what has he fallen back on, what going to be his fall back plan then ?

    because your not always going to be the fastest , the strongest or the fighter with the biggest punch and when that happen your going to have to be able become a real fighter and figure out a way to deal with it .

    What is margarito's plan going to be if constant pressure and swarming attack is not enough to slow floyd down or even get close to him to do any damage? what is his backup plan then ? In cases were he lost he did not have one.

    What floyd plan going to be if his speed and reflexes are not enough to deal with margarito's size and strength ? what is floyd back up plan , we seen him come with some in the past.

    these are question that both fighters would have to answer not just floyd.

    this is so stupid on so many levels... the only person on this list that I feel you have a valid argument with is Kostya and look what floyd did to the man that retired Zoo.

    Casamayor does not deserve to have his name mentioned in the same sentence with Floyd..

    Cotto turned down a fight at 140 with PBF (do your research)

    Paul Williams was a good prospect but he was just that when Floyd retired, he really only has one decent win and thats against margarito.. (look at a timeline)

    Margie did not do enough to get a fight with floyd, he lost to Williams and Santos. However floyd did agree to fight him, but arum ****ed the contract up by not giving floyd enough money for the fights afterwards with cotto and hatton.

    Cotto stands a much better chance than Margo. Margo-Floyd would b boring as hell, it will be simillar to Baldomir-Floyd. Floyd will run for 12 rounds and outpoint Margo. Cotto on the other hand can actually throw combinations and is more of a boxer, unlike Margo he can impose his size via his skills.

    Unfortunately I cant take you seriously. No one else is as far up Mayweather's arse as you are. Did it ever cross your mind that Margarito is better than any opponent Floyd has ever faced. Mayweather will not be able to hurt Margarito but Margarito certainly has the ability to hurt Mayweather. Couple that with Margarito's ability to easily match Mayeather in terms of stamina and his massive determination, and you have an almost perfect formula to beat Mayweather. IMO Mayweather would have to have the performance of his career
