    While active.
    Well, Kostya had a chance.
    Dela Hoya in his prime, probably.
    Barrera and Morales, both of them, not 100% sure of course.
    And Paul Williams, while of course less skilled and accomplished, he is an stylistic nightmare for Floyd.

        Prime Pacquiao for sure. Without IV rehydration for PED masking.



        Prime DLH. shot to **** DLH arguably beat him. in his prime it would be a UD.


        Any fighter that is an effective swarmer with a good punch. They can smother Floyd on the ropes. Same thing C-level Maidana did but with more method and punching power. A GGG type of fighter would be a nightmare match-up for Floyd.

            Floyd 130-140 would knock out Pac. He was much faster then....

            The ironic thing is that if Arum really wanted to....he probably would've forced Floyd to be on roids in a Pac series. Pac was already on roids. With Floyd on them hot damn....

                Sugar Ray Leonard and Tommy "Hitman" Hearns would have had the best chances.

                  Honestly believe Khan at 140 around 2011 with his bumrush's could have done well...

                    If we're only talking opponents from Floyd's era & not ones from before Floyd's time than I think Paul Williams could have possibly beat him. That would have been a very difficult fight. The Pacquiao of 2008-2010 time frame would have had a really big chance of winning as well. De La Hoya in his prime too could have beat him. Floyd struggled with a past his prime De La Hoya, so if that's any indication than De La Hoya would have at least been the favorite.
