      Prime DLH, Hearns, SRL, SRR, Duran, Whitaker, Pryor, and JCC all have the right tools. Hector Camacho at 130 and 135 too.

      Of guys today, Lara and Martinez would both do it. If Pacquiao was better at cutting off the ring and physically stronger, I'd pick him too. If Canelo had better foot speed and was blessed with more explosive one shot power, he'd have a great shot too.

        We know u can't hit floyd with effective hooks coz of his defense. And only cottos straights seem to be getting through; mainly left. The fighter to have a good chance would need a good jab in orthodox or great straight in southpaw. If they have a monster right to the body that may help. Cottos lateral movement helped so they'd need stamina n footwork.. And be able to pressure floyd with strength and power. Ofcourse they need great timing and savvy boxing skills. And another thing ppl overlook is that the fighter would have to have experience in the big fights..I.e not Ortiz

        Sounds like pacquiao right? I don't think he is big enough or has the timing like cotto...Martinez may have a shot with the size advantage.. to fight at 154 would b ideal for Sergio being a MW but floyd is a small LMW so wouldn't fight him at that weight..I guess everyone's hopes is on pacquiao then?!
