    Quartey, Ouma, Rivera, and Simms would all have a shot vs Floyd I think. Ouma's workrate and lack of respect for Floyd's power could be hell for Floyd. Quartey has sharp, compact punches and a great jab. I'd favor Floyd to beat Ike but not by much.

    Floyd's power was decent at 135...but it is nothing at 154. And his speed has lessened a little bit as well. He will not dominate 154 but he could be the RING champ if he plays his cards right.

He's left his home- and now I feel like he's on borrowed times. He's with men that can much harder than his days at lightweight. Men who pack on more pounds- all while his legendary speed decreases. I'm a fan...but I'm not holding my breathe.
            or h might being running from the real comp..

                  pbf will beat oscar. dlh looked great in his last fight because it was against a guy who stands in front of u, doesn't move and sticks out his chin. pbf will make oscar look old and bad with his skills. oscar is a blown up lightweight, a natural junior middlweight like ouma has a real shot at checking floyd's chin. as floyd moves up and up in weight so fast i've seen him get hit a lot more

                    the way he dominated 147???how many fights did he have at 147...like 3 rite? dats not exactly dominating. he dominated those who he faced, but not the entire division

                      He did beat the last 2 champions of the division very convincingly. He lost between 4-6 rounds in the two fights combined (depending on how you judge). What else did he have to prove at 147? Everyone was yelling for a Margarito fight until he looked like ****. Who else is there? Cotto is the only one who really could challenge PBF and he has turned the fight down in the past. Other than Cotto, its just guys that will get embarrassed by Floyd.
