I’m a Floyd fan, and I think he would have beat probably all of the fighters he faced in their prime. But I can’t really remember Floyd fighting anyone as risky as Jacobs, especially when he was at Canelos stage of his career. Jacobs is in his prime or close to it, hits hard and knows how to box. jlc? It’s hard to remember the hype back then. But Shane, Oscar, cotto, Judda, Diego, and ortiz were either washed up, b fighters, or elite fighters just past their prime (Still great/tough fighters, but lost a step)
Canelo was very green and I remember the general consensus being he wasn’t ready to face Floyd, including my own. Idc if he had a few fights under his belt, he was like 22 years old and everyone knew he’d lose.
Pac was not on Jacobs level at that time, love pac, but he was past it when they fought. In their primes with explosive manny i would have expected a much more interesting fight, but I’d pick Floyd by a close decision.
The maidana fight was a very tough fight, but not quite on the level of Jacobs.
