I say Shane Mosley, he had that big win over Margarito, the speed power chin heart experience and stamina to trouble Floyd. Little did anyone know how bad his stamina was going to be
I thought Zab had the best chance of beating Floyd. Based on everything SMS mentioned in his post. Plus, I've always been a big Judah fan. Zab definitley had the physical tools to get the job done.
I gave Oscar the best chance, followed by Canelo, then Mosley. The only fighter I gave literally a zero percent chance was to Guerrero. I've never liked his style and never saw anything special in him.
EDIT: I actually gave Cotto a better chance than Canelo and Mosley. Forgot about him lol
Floyd got out outboxed in the middle rounds, Cotto was having fun in there.
of course he was, he was fighting Cottos fight....let me ask you do you think if floyd fought cotto the same way he fought Canelo would cotto "out box" him ?
ireally would have put the house on hatton
he has good speed decent power but his great footwork and body work had me thinking he could take the fight cortez kinda ruined all hope for ricky but i still think floyd would have found a way to win no matter the ref
he beat hatton at his own game lol
credit to floyd he beat the best hatton there was guy was a pure beast
JUDAH! I always thought southpaws with insane hand speed and punching power would give floyd fits. I still feel if zab had more heart in yhe floyd fight like he did with danny he had a major chance of beating him.
If khan didn't have such a glass chin I could see him pullinh off the upset. Buy since his defense sucks and noy the chin to counter iy, I only see him winning 3 or 4 rounds.
cotto did NOT outbox flyod thats a myth, floyd made a conscious decision to slugg with him...Floyd could have easily stay on the outside and box cotto's ears off like he did canelo....
Floyd was overtrained, and he did box with cotto. He tried but he looked sloppy and washed up. He had to lay on the ropes because he punched himself out after the 5th round. And he actually used movement in the final round. But he got outboxed and outslicked in some rounds too.

Mosley was the first one i thought would give him trouble. Not beat him but make it exciting but other than 2 punches in one round that was a steamroll. I seriously thought mosley should have retired after that.
Canelo was the one i really thought. Size, decent speed, good combo puncher, decent footwork, and i thought he could cut off ring and eventually catch him but as we all saw floyd is on another level. Even toyed with him after awhile.
Other than JLC1, which i think floyd won, no one has ever given him problems. Hes barely lost rounds. Hell a bloody nose was celebrated as a victory.
The boy has fought bigger, smaller, punchers, speedsters, southpaws, orthodox, older experienced, young and strong, and smart fighters but no one has given him problems. From 140-154 i havent seen any skillset that i feel would trouble him
Im enjoying his reign right now cause i have seen alot of boxing throughout the years and floyd is one the best i have ever seen.
floyd beats both fighters even though he is undersized... btw i like martinez and GGG I am simply pointing out how folks on here want floyd to fight fighters out of his weighclass but wouldn't suggest the same opponents for pac.
so maybe you need to relax as this is just a bunch of ppl giving opinions so if you don't like mine then skate....its really not that serious....
Floyd MAYBE beats Sergio, but gets sparked out by GGG.
When was Pac brought up? I thought it was pretty clear who the superior fighter is at this point. Why bring up Pac all the time?
I still stand by my first response. Relax buddy.
Relax buddy. Just answer the question and get out. No need to get all defensive because you're OBVIOUSLY threatened by Sergio and GGG. LMAO, so predictable.

Miguel Cotto, even though past his prime physically was a top fighters.
The beating from Marg and Pacquiao took it's toll and Miguel lost some of that speed and reflexes and sharpness.
Still showed he had the skills to out box Floyd at times.
Started slow and gave away cheap rounds in the begining, but won the middle section of the fight winning 3 of the middle rounds.
He made Floyd miss and blocked his shots, rough Floyd up, landed this jab, one two three times in a row.
But he tired in the championship rounds.
Gave Cotto a 30% to win before this fight was made, a 2008 version of Cotto was at least 50% IMO

Canelo & Oscar...... there is no one in Floyds weight class 154-147 that can beat him....I love how you guys want floyd to fight GGG and Martinez when floyd can't even make 154.. I wonder how pac would do against martinez or GGG.....

Mosley. He had the power and speed to make it interesting, and was more of a dog than Judah. Plus his slickish style was supposed to give Floyd a different look.
