    The hardest fight for Floyd?.....

    Cotto would be the hardest fight for Floyd IMO...He is bigger than Floyd and is pretty solid technically...I think Floyd would blow Pac out...maybe even KO him...I'm not a fan of Mayweather but he is the best technician and defense fighter out there right now...and Pac would have fits with Floyd's defense and speed, not to mention the fact that Floyd would be the bigger fighter (not by much though)...Pac's speed would give Mayweather trouble for the first few rounds...but after that I see Mayweather countering Pac and piling up points...Even though I think Mayweather would win (and I don't think it would even be close) it would probably be one of Mayweather's more entertaining fights since Pacquiao would force him to actually fight...It could actually bring out the best in Floyd.

    That said, I think Floyd would beat Cotto too...As much as I dislike him at times, Mayweather's skillset is amazing, he always comes in in top form, and he always has the option of fighting off the back foot and pot-shoting (which I hate but it is effective)...

    Pac gets KO'd. Cotto likely gets KO'd. SSM takes him 12, never gets hurt, never tires, makes him move and work the whole time. SSM is his toughest fight.

            Had Floyd just beat Cotto before he retired, I would have gave him props. Cotto is damaged goods and for good reason. Margarito plastered his ass.
            I give Ray Leonard a pass for playing the waiting game against Hagler because the truth is, Ray Leonard should have never stepped in the ring again after his first war with Hearns. But Floyd is still a prime fighter who has yet to have a war. He wont face anyone that is a threat and this is why he retired when the iron was hot. He came back and he want's to reap the benefits after the welter weights destroyed each other. Had Floyd been the one to dismantel the Welter Weight division two years ago, he would be respected, loved and appreciated, he did not do it and now he is getting more hate than ever for being a coward while telling everyone he is the greatest.

            Floyd does not deserve to fight Manny or Cotto or Shane. Let's all forget about Floyd as it has become apparent that he does not give a **** about his legacy. I say phuk him. I would much rather see, Mosley Cotto II , PAC/JMM III or any other fight that does not involved Floyd. He has even lost our hate. He is just not that important anymore. Manny is the new man and I hope Manny does not fight him, not because I think Manny will lose but so that Floyd can feel what it feels like to just be snubbed like he did to the rest.

              I agree, SSM is a fighter with heart...

                Mosley hands down, he almost matches his speed, can't be hurt by Floyd, has more power and equally good chin. Floyd beats him by a competitive UD tough.

                    lol no one is going to want to fight Floyd. I guess he can get together with ODLH and find some Mexican cab drivers to fight. Floyd is going to be pushed aside if he does not change his punk ass ways.
