Has Floyd ever fought a P4P fighter? At least in the top 10...?

Maybe Zab, but he lost to Baldomir before.

I don't think anyone has ever discussed of Zab being P4P material since his lost to Tszyu.

chico and castillo were both real tough.

Some of them became P4P after they lost to Floyd,

Castillo, Corrales was unbeaten at the time and went on to be in the p4p list, Judah was p4p several times, De La Hoya was p4p several.

I guess so, but P4P? Not really. Castillo was probably the closest, being ranked in the 5-10 P4P rankings and he did give Floyd his best challenge. Yet Floyd never wanted to go further into P4P fighters since then.

Ya though the point is when he fought them. The current state they were in when he fought them is what matters. Oscar is no P4P nowadays and is over the hill.

Well, who were the recent (potential) P4P'ers in the 140/147 class?

Hatton? Offered several fights and declined.

Mosley? Turned down a fight because Jin wanted to go on vacation. And "his tooth"

Delahoya? Just fought him.

Cotto? Previously declined a fight at 140. MAY happen post-Judah

Are there any other viable candidates? To the people who would consider saying "WINKY", please also consider that PBF/Pac are MUCH closer in size than PBF/Winky. So, unless you would be prepared to see Pac fight Floyd, it is somewhat unreasonable to expect FMJ to fight Winky.

only a select few have been considered P4P around Floyd's class..Hatton and Cotto...Cotto is really not in anyone's P4P rankings that's within reasonable class to Floyd...only Hatton

so when determining that...consider that in Floyd's era, there have not been many for him...when he was 130-135...guys like Tito, Oscar and Molsye were welterweights and Jr middleweights
