    You're obviously a Floyd hater ;-)

    I think it is too early for the Shumenov v Floyd threads

    What about facing an old BHOP, or a shot RJJ?

    Would an IBO Cruiser weight fight against Tarver count?

    Are you taking the ****?

    He loses to all four by KO.

    Dingaan Thobela won world titles at 135 & 168 and finished his career at 175. I assume Floyd could match this?

    No, he can't.

    He weighs 3 pounds under the LIGHT MIDDLE limit.

    His shoulder roll won't mean **** against fighters 2 stones+ heavier.

    Oh but hang on Haye beat Valuev right? I see... :think

    He could outmanouver everyone we've mentioned....but a shot Roy, Tarver and Hop would still be too much IMO, they're not slow and basic, even if they are old.

    True, but doubts remain about the legitmacy of his win over Catley.

    Guillermo Jones, Sam Langford, Barbados Joe Walcott.

    If Floyd is as good as everyone says he is, he should be in the top 20 P4P with the guys above.

    You forgot Dingaan Thobela :deal

    I still think Cotto is being a little disrespected here, he clearly has more chance than say Ortiz/Marquez/Hatton yet noone (except Paulie "hands of stone" Malignaggi) gives him a shot.

    He has the same chance as all of those guys; slim to none.

    Despite being better than those 3 (except JMM, but certainly more physically capable of dealing with Floyd than Marquez was at that time) he still matches up poorly with Floyd.
