    Pac obviously.

    Pac did it with one healthy arm and gave IV man all he can think about and made Floyd trigger shy to the tune of Floyd's least punch output of his career. A 2 armed Pac will blitz him.

      Lara can't beat Floyd. His punch output is too low, he squares up whenever he's against the ropes and is a head hunter who barely throws to the body. He's got a height and reach advantage over Floyd but so did several guys Floyd fought. Mosley, Oscar, Hernandez and Diego Corrales all hide height and reach over Floyd and all lost.

        Floyd vs Erislandy

        We get a surprise as Floyd wins by outworking his opponent.

            Lara, Brook and Spence from 140-154 would have the biggest chance, though all would be massive underdogs.

            Don't really see anyone beating him tbh.

              Posting this video only shows that you don't know how to score fights.

                I don't think there's anyone at 147 that beats FMJ. However I think his toughest fight would be against Diaz. Yes Diaz, the guy that just beat Sammy Vasquez and I feel beat Peterson. I think if they were to fight it would be a hell of a chess match as Diaz has shown a high boxing IQ and a serious ability to make adjustments on the fly in addition to setting his punches up well. I know this fight will never happen because Diaz is virtually unknown but believe me Diaz is going to be a problem for everyone at 147 even Spence. Diaz might not beat them all but he's not going to be an easy out for any of them. Aside from father time, it's going to take someone with a significant size advantage combined with above average skill at the elite level to beat FMJ IMO

                  Spence might have a chance.

                    How about Khan?

                    I feel Khan makes too many mistakes to win.

                      None of those names can beat the big names on Floyd's resume.

                      FACT.

                      There is no style/match up of those fighters named that Floyd hasn't already beat a better version of.

                      FACT.

                      Stop living in a fantasy world and accept he's 49-0.

                      Tbe. The smarter posters know you have to go back to 1940 to find a guy that would stop prime Floyd.
