    Tougher challenge for Floyd: Pac, JMM, Cotto, Shane?

    No diss or agenda.
    I go to NSB precisely for the variety of opinions. So here it is then...
    All things accounted for, what is your opinion on the relative difficulty
    Floyd Jr. would face against three particular fighters?

    I'm talking about:

    -Pac at 144
    -Cotto at 147
    -Shane at 147

    Who would have the best odds of beating Floyd?

    Rank 'em in order of difficulty (most difficult named first).
    All the listed opponenets would hypothetically be fresh and rested,
    and the fight would be in December, after the scheduled Floyd-JMM
    bout (win or lose for Floyd).

    Cheers,

    h.

    I personally think Cotto is the toughest fight for Floyd of the fighters that were listed.

      Shane looked great in his last 2 fights, so did Pac and JMM but in the end I think Shane would do it. (I'm a JMM nuthugger)

        Floyd thinks its Cotto then Shane. I say Cotto then Pac then Shane just because Shane is due for a crappy performance.

          It'd be nice if you did the poll, that way I'd know who you'd consider
          to be next-toughest. Thanks!

            Pacquiao has the best chance of beating him(styles make fights). But Shane would be a tougher opponent.

              Hold on.
              I'm not sure what you mean by that.

                SSM, Cotto, Pac. Mr boat buyer should be focused on SSM in his comeback, cuz he holds the top spot at WW, which was his when he left. The fight is that much better cuz of the fact that SSM is his toughest test of these guys imo.

                  all three are great fighters and would be tough for anybody, but i think Shane would be the toughest for floyd cause of his size

                    Whats wrong with pbf fighting pacq 1st then tackling the winner of the possible coot/ssm matchup? there is no best in the ww division! There is clearly a p4p best though, even though its an easy win. Increase the buzz by dominating pacq then tackle the alleged best at 147!
