I'd say Pac outworks him, and as for Floyd.... Tszyu wanted nothing to do with Floyd so I guess you have your answer for that.
Haha tszyu wanted nothing to do with floyd?? Come on man where did u get that from? When Kostya was the man floyd clearly avoided him. Do u recall him fighting two eliminators one against demarcus Corley and one against Henry Brussels to line himself up for a shot against arturo gatti when Kostya was willing to fight and was the recognised main man in the division. He took the easiest path to the title
Who would you pick in this fight ? I just can't make my mind up , also what about floyd v tszyu again at 140 ?

Tyzu was a good fighter but Pac was a proven warrior against elite fighters. It took 4 fights for Marquez with Heredias help to finally beat Pac convincingly. Tyzu will not have those luxury.
Tszyu wasn't really on Pac's level. I mean he was pretty good, but Pac's a once in a lifetime kind of fighter. Tsyzu might land a few right hands every now and then but it won't be anything Pac hasn't felt before.
I think Pac would, not easily, overwhelm him and force a mid-fight stoppage.
Pacquiao had a reputation for having a good chin, not great and ANY fighter can be knocked out. Paquiao would be favourite but no way he overwhelms prime Tszyu, trying to overwhelm him would be very risky and wouldn't be an option after eating a couple of right hands.
I didn't mean overwhelm in the sense of a 1st-4th Rd. KO. I meant gradually breaking him down with his speed and movement. By the 7th-9th round, Tszyu looks "overwhelmed" with the speed and movement.
Sorry for the misinterpretation.
But Pacquiao's been in wars with some of the ATG lightweight fighters. His reputation for having an iron chin should neutralize Tszyu's reputation for being a KO artist.
Pacquiao's movement, and hand speed would've given him trouble as well. I could see Pac getting KD, but I can also see Pacquiao just overwhelming him, and making him look physically inept in there.

Tszyu was one of the biggest punchers in the history of the 140 division, he could KO anyone at that weight.

KT had problems with pressure fighters. And while pac does put the heat on, he is more of a in and out guy. Tszyu was a master at timing guys and had a good jab as well.
I guarantee, you would never say Pacquiao could get KO'd, if it weren't for the JMM fight. @ 140, his chin is too much for Tszyu.

Pacquiao would most likely win but Tszyu was a master of countering with that right hand and had great power, if Tszyu caught Pacquiao coming in i could see a very similar ending to the Pacquiao-Marquez 4 fight.
