    I'm just curious who people think would have beaten PBF in his respective divisions over the years while he was in them. Nobody at 130 or 135 comes to mind. At 140 people will claim Cotto and Tszyu, but PBF would have made Tszyu look ordinary and Cotto had trouble with Torres and Corely at 140. At 147 there are some better arguments but to me he couldn't lose a fight all the way up to 154. Thoughts?

    The same Tszyu that lost to Hatton? No chance, Floyd would have danced around him landing clean shots all night.

    Tsyzu was to slow Cotto had a better chance but wasn't that seasoned at 140 and the weight issues would have killed him the only fighter possibly near 140 or 147 would be Mosley.

    This thread is just another attempt to justify him not fighting Cotto or any of the other top welters.

    Its transparent enough: because he would be favoured to beat everyone, he didn't need to fight them anyways. Seen it before.

    Exactly. He did lose the 1st Castillo fight.

    Personally, I think DLH nicked their fight too.

    And I think Cotto would beat him now, regardless of whether he beats Margarito or not.

    U say this as if Castillo was a bum. Castillo was an elite at this weight. Every fighter has had a struggle with someone somewhere in their career :patsch
