    If Floyd bring his courage to the ring, I'd say he out-boxes them both, prime for prime.

    Both Shavers and Lyle could knock Floyd out just like Liston did, but I wouldn't bet on it if Floyd has his head on straight and believes he can win. His handspeed would be the difference in both of these fights and I can see him beating both over 12 rounds. Shavers presents the most danger early due to stamina, while Lyle brings more danger through the early and middle rounds.

    Floyd beats both of them,on points. He has to get off the canvas to do it,though.
