People will just say that the guy who lost could still beat Floyd. We've seen this happen before. The most recent example is those who said they still pick Margarito to beat Quintana after Quintana beat Williams.
Say Cotto wins and Floyd beats Cotto, they will say that since he is smaller than Tony and throws less he was easier for Floyd to beat, but he could not handle Margarito's size and pressure. If Tony wins and Floyd beats him, they would say that since Cotto has a more controlled attack and better overall skills he would beat Floyd. In both cases, their justification would be "styles makes fights"
People picked Baldomir to beat him because he was bigger, but when he lost he was a slow journeyman who never had a chance. They picked Oscar to beat him because he was bigger and had good skills, but after he lost he was over the hill , and they picked Hatton to beat him because of his relentless pressure, but after he lost, he was undersized. When someone HATES and is biased against a fighter, they will find ANY reason imaginable to put him down. And THAT is "plain and basic common sense"
