    Who's a Bigger Threat to Floyd?

    between Margarito at 147 or Shane & Vargas at 154. I have the poll up for you guys to pick which one would be the hardest fight for Floyd but in your post I also want you to tell me the complete order.

    Keep in mind how good Vargas & Shane looked in there last fight and keep in mind that those fights would be at 154 while Margarito would be at 147.

    When I watched Vargas-Shane the 1st time, there was a bunch of **** going on in my house, so I could tell it was a good fight but I didnt know how good until I rewatched it yesterday. Both guys had much more left then I thought and both guys had crazy power. I think both hit harder at 54 then Margarito at 47 and I think they may have a better chance of hurting Floyd.

    What was strange about that fight is how Manny Steward kept on saying that Shane didnt have much power at that weight but he was watching something different then me because Shane was punching extremely hard.

    Ofcourse, other things go into it like boxing skill and Margarito being more in his prime and so on. Which one do you think gives Floyd the most problems right now at there weights and also put them all in order.

      I rewatched the Floyd-Zab fight and came away thinking that Floyd was alot better in that fight then some on here give him credit for and I dont see anyone at 147 giving him major problems and even maybe at 154. Then right after that I rewatched the Vargas-Mosley fight and I said, damn these guys look like they could give Floyd problems with there size & power. Shane's snap on his body punches is vicious & Vargas is very heavy handed. Shane is also super strong and Vargas was just pushing him around, so you know he will be able to push littile Floyd around, but Floyd would fight him much differently.

      I still think he beats either of them fairly comfortable but I wouldnt be surprised if they did give him alot of problems. Thats why I find it funny that people will say he's ducking Margarito if he picks one of the other 2. I honestly believe that Floyd see's them as harder fights

        Vargas at 154 would be an animal for Floyd to tame.

        Vargas is stronger than Margarito
        Vargas is a better boxer than Margarito
        Vargas is faster than Margarito.

        I think Shane would just try to outbox Floyd, which would be a disaster... for Shane.

        Vargas of those 3 fighers, I think, would give Floyd the most problems.

            Shane and Vargas are shot. I don't know, I picked Margarito at first, but now I'm leaning towards Shane because Margarito is slow and sloppy.

              although not the same fighter as before Vargas is still a Lion in the ring. He is big, he is strong and has heavy hands. He pushed around a very strong Shane Mosely with relative ease. He could easily corner Floyd into the ropes and **** him with his size advantage.

              Mosely still has all the tools. I think his style would cause some problems with PBF. He is a great counterpuncher and has a looping right hand. Shane is essentially a brawler who could toss Floyd around as well.

                i would love to see floyd and shane go at it, id give shane the best chance out of the three though, vargas has failed against big opponents and floyd's defense can handle him
