    Margarito
    Martinez
    Lara
    Williams
    Prime Pac

    Those wouldve been fantastic fights and if floyd had gone through that gauntlet unbeaten then he`d have removed any doubt about his greatness. These 5 wins wouldve propelled him into top 15/20 all time.

    Pac was a different animal in 2009, it might not be that much different technically but it's still a different fight. Mayweather style held up better over time

    Castillo and Johnston at 135, Tszyu at 140, Spinks at 147, 2002 version of Oscar and Mosley 154, Winky and Forrest too. The last 4 in their primes are a sureshot they'd draw or beat him. Much, much deeper era than this one.

    Castillo had already beaten Void in the first fight, but Void's had his judges................I had Oscar beating Void 7-5, Oscar kept knocking Void's head back like a speed bag................Pac was injured, not allowed to get a pain shot for his shoulder by Void's boxing commission, however, the same boxing commission allowed Void to get a pain shot. Void is a fraud..............

    no...he really wasn't.....in terms of what he brought to the table against Floyd and what Floyd would always bring to the table against him....same outcome 9/10 times.

    Only talking about guys who actually fought in the same division at the same time

    Prime Pacquiao, Vernon Forrest and Paul Williams would of been 50/50 fights

    Antonio Margarito, Cory Spinks and Joel Casamayor would of been 40/60 fights(favoring Floyd)

    The usual suspects. I'm not saying all would have beat him. Today's era.
    Margarito
    Williams
    Oscar
    Mosley
    Morales at 130 would have been fun.
    prime Pac
    Maidana and Castillo beat him.


    Jcc
    Duran
    Pryor
    Srl
    Hearns
    100% beat him. No doubt.

    What never gets mentioned is Floyds chin and ability to take a shot,Who would have survived the Mosley onslaught,Canelo must of been expected to out power Floyd and yet it was he other way round,I'm not Floyd nut but in his pomp he was imperious,I do feel that Oscar could have got the decision but he didn't so if Mosley and Oscar never beat him it's hard to think of another who could,oh and I ain't mentioning GGG cause that's just stupid and isn't a fair match up anyway?

    forgot about Margarito,he would have had a chance on his ability to walk through so much punishment,without a KO though Floyd would have won all day every day.

    Yes, remember the question is who COULD have beaten Floyd. (Not who would have) Would Khan have beaten Floyd? I don't know. But COULD he have beaten Floyd, the version of Floyd that fought Berto last year? Surely he could have. Khan had all the tools to beat Floyd.
