If floyd fought an eastern european fighter...

[WladIsTheChamp]

he would have got his ass kicked just like jacobs and alexander did when they faced europeans.

I would second this notion, you have plenty of guys he could fight between 140-154 that E. European and are world-known and have been or are world champs:

Vycheslav Schenchenko, undefeated, Ring #8
Dzhinzhurik, undefeated, belt, Ring ranked
Kotelnik, former world-champ, viewed by my to have beaten Devon Alexander recently, Ring ranked
Foreman, Ring ranked, thought to have lost to Cotto only because of knee injury

I would put money on the first three to beat Floyd, Foreman doesn't have enough power and it's doubtful his knee will heal in the near future.

So now we're inventing fighters to beat Floyd, huh?

[Zig Zag.]

i totally agree.

No need to invent them, Kotelnik, Dzhinzurik, and Senchenko are very much real. Has Floyd ever fought in Europe (or even outside the US)? Has he ever fought in hostile territory where he would have to take the fight outside the hands of the judges and where they will not give him points for staying on his bicycle for 12 rounds?

Kostya would have probably taken him out.
