    Jesus Chavez tried it...

    He has a lot less power than Margarito though, so...

    Floyd looked damn good in the late rounds against Chavez though, I will say that.

      I agree.

      Where was this incredible ring intelligence from Mosley against Wright or Forrest? In the rematch, he looked better, but couldn't get a complete gameplan together to do the jab.

      The fact that he made 0 adjustment in Forrest I, and a minor one that won him two rounds (5 and 6) against Wright I, shows me that ring intelligence is one area that he is lacking in.

            I still think at this stage mosley could give floyd a good fight, i'm not saying he'll win or anything but he wouldn't get dominated, no way floyd would win by a close UD

              this doesn't mean who can beat him but who can give him the most trouble and give him a harder fight?
              i voted for miguel cotto.

              a prime mosley would be the top choice...but lets face it; he's not in his prime.

              margarito punches 1200+ times a fight with an iron chin...

              mosley is a great boxer/puncher

              miguel cotto isnt outstanding in terms of brawling or boxing...he's just a really good total package.

              it makes the most sense...

              a boxer v. floyd
              a brawl v. floyd
              or someone who can box and/or brawl v. floyd.

              cotto is more of the complete package...


              margarito would be tough to deal with early but floyd would eventually tie up margarito when he gets close (and takes away his rhythm) then floyd controls the fight from there on keeping margarito at the end of his punches.

              mosley would be tough for majority of the fight but eventually (like i believe he would against margarito) begin controlling the fight and mosley wears down...mosley isnt notorious for fading but at this stage of his career vs a guy as fast/quick as floyd he'd fade down the strecth.

              cotto on the other hand might give floyd the most problems because cotto wont fade and he has the ability to do a 180 when neccessary (from boxing to brawling and so on)...for floyd it wont be a 1 gameplan kind of fight...

              cotto has lots of variables about him stylistically...

              cotto could **** with him like he did judah or box him like he did for the last part of the mosley fight and the whole gomez tune-up fight...

              he provides a decent complete package and would keep mayweather working all 12 rounds...win or lose cotto would do better at this point than margarito or mosley...

              if mosley was in his prime i'd pick mosley though...

                  ^^^^^

                  Mosley's jab is too weak, and he is too eager to get on the inside to be called a boxer IMO.

                    The young Shane...with his speed and boxing ability and smarts...if he had the mindset to NOT try to throw big right hands and KO blows at PBF while he is against the ropes baiting you with his shoulder roll.
