    Out of that entire list, the only one it's I'd really want to see him fight is Joel Casamayor.

      he would have beaten him.

      i think he could have beaten all of them except for 1. kostya (depending on which kostya and at what stage of his career) or 2. margarito (because of workrate and size possibly)

          i dunno why ppl think margs would give floyd prolems. he's perfectly suited for floyds style. his size isnt an issue, floyd fought corrales, same height and same reach advantage as margs. margs throws a lot of punches, none of them with particular skill, floyd would have a field day weaving thru and counter punching.

            corrales had faster feet as well and still looked like he was fighting in quick sand against Floyd.

                counter punchers always have tough fights with pressure fighters.

                usually because of the workrate and they don't give the counter punchers space to box.

                comparing corrales's size to margarito's is ludicrous.

                corrales is a huge LIGHTWEIGHT. margarito is a huge WELTERWEIGHT.

                i know floyd fans have a problem telling lightweights and welterweights apart but it's a big difference.

                  i bet you margarito takes floyd's punches better than corrales did.

                  i bet you margarito is stronger than corrales.

                  i bet you margarito hits harder than corrales.

                  those make a big difference in a fight.

                    when has floyd ever had prolem with a pressure fighter???he might take hits, none of them clean, but he'll be giving the better punishment. and i kno the difference between the two. floyd moved up, got bigger and was still just about as fast against a margs, whose slower than corrales.

                    i mean im not saying margs cant win, but im sayin ud have to be brave to have bet on him in a fight with floyd. i dont see him winning against that type of speed, skill and precision.
