'm no Floyd hater, but I do generally dislike the "new" Floyd. I was a fan back in his 130 and 135lbs days ; I loved watching him fight.
But since 135 he hasn't really fought any serious threats, IMO. Save for maybe Hatton who turned out to be a media hype more than anything else. Baldomir, Mitchell, Judah, and gatti were all farces, IMO.
I believe he would handle Cotto and Manny as well but that remains to be seen because up until now, all he's had to say about either man is that they weren't "on his level".
How can one achieve greatness if one only dismisses any possible opponet the way Floyd does?
He needs Mosley and the winner of Manny/Cotto to truly define himself.
