    If Floyd ever moved up to MW, who is the best fighter at that weight that you would favor him to win against?

    Any of them I reckon.

    None of them could deal with that speed/defense.

    agree the only who could beat him @ 160 is GGG with a heavy lucky punch

    I could be wrong but I'm betting it wouldn't be a lucky punch. He'd wear Floyd down and batter him. I see a stoppage. Not really a knock on Mayweather. He's just too small to fight a real middleweight.

    triple G would beat floyd to death even with dragging you around the ring latched onto his ankles and crying so hard the canvas is soaked.

    I dont know how much different it'd be. Plenty of Middleweight are coming in the same weights the Jr Middleweights do, and he beats them.

    For Floyd to have to deal with a size advantage hes not used to, it would be 168 not 160.

    Most Jr Welters come in 150+
    Most Welters Come in 155-165
    Most Jr Middles Come in 165+
    There are middleweights who come in between 165-170.

    Not that big of a difference.

    People have been looking to the stars for years as to a way for him to be defeated.

    Middleweight champion is Miguel Cotto. A rematch with him would be interesting.

    Cotto, the man that said he clearly avoided floyd when he was in the same stable as him. Only to get beat up at his own game years later! Why did marvin not fight spinks then, who was one division up then? I, ask again who dictates to floyd again?

    well he is the best fighter of his generation, of course he has haters and is judged to a higher standard.

    to answer OP's question. he could beat cotto. GGG is the only one i dont think he could beat at 160, 154 might be a diff story but i have yet to see GGG fight there so its hard to say
