    There's good fighters he didn't fight. Only great ones he missed were Kostya and Pac. Some might make a case for Casamayor being "great," but I'm not sure I'd really agree with that. Floyd did what he needed to do at 130 and 135 so you can't really knock him for it. And Kostya lost to Ricky at 140 so that fight was out.

      interesting choices.

      He did call out Kostya Tszyu. that would have been very interesting. Kostya's power vs Floyds speed.

      I disagree with Margarito and I think history has shown that. The man has 6 losses on his record including losses to average at best opposition. He got destroyed by Mosley who got whooped by Floyd. I think Floyd would win that UD 12 rounds to nil.

        Tszyu, Pac, Cotto and Marg.

        Tszyu and Pac are obvious atg

        but Floyd had a chance to fight Cotto and Marg while they were at the top of thier games and in thier prime. Before Cotto and Marg got beat, they were the top fighters in the WW division and should have faced Floyd.

        Both were out there and available to fight but retirement called

            floyd called out tszyu, spadafora, said he would fight cotto and marg is arum paid him 10mil to fight each. cotto wanted no parts of floyd at 140 and never calle dhim out at 147

            and manny pac walked away from 50/50 and 14 days.

            so blame arum or the fighters. but floyd asked/wanted the fights and did get them

              do you believe he ducked tszyu..because if i remember correctly tszyu was pretty much holding the 140 title hostage

                Casamayor got robbed heavy against Castillo,he won like 10 rounds and lost SD,it was ridicilous!
                its a matter of opinion really......i still think pac is the only great fighter floyd hasn't fought yet but could of fought.

                  He was promoted all wrong and lost like 3 of his first 10 fights. But before he lost to Mosley he was considered on top of the world. So in 2008 your werent saying all that because Marg was considered VERY good and avoided for a reason
