I cannot fill the fingers on one hand with fighters who would have dominated or KO'd Floyd. They would need extreme quickness and power to boot. Tommy Hearns comes to mind as a possibility with his sheer size, speed and power, but even then I have my doubts and it is not really a fair fight anyway. He was a naturally bigger fighter. Floyds Prime was at 135 IMO.
There are some like Duran, who I think could have beat Floyd, but Floyd is smart and would have gave Duran a fight. Make no mistake. Although Floyd was not at lightweight a long time, I consider him, on ability alone to be one of the best lightweights who ever put on a pair of gloves.

You actually took this thread seriously ... cool you kept your cool and gave a good answer, mostly i do agree with you.
"Terrible" Terry Norris would have destroyed Floyd. Terry was one of the best offensive fighters I've ever seen. I don't think Floyd would be able to keep him off of him or slow him down. Guys that beat Terry in his prime were known punchers. I've never seen him outboxed. The punch that Floyd can't defend is the jab and Terry had a great one. He could dance and use the ring throwing blazing combos and he could go flat footed and walk his opponents down. Just too much offense and athletic ability for Floyd.
