    What fight displayed Floyd's overall package and when he was in his absolute prime?

    I'm watching some of Floyd's fights at the lower weights early in his career and man, he was a thing of beauty...before the hand injuries and moving up in weight. With that said, what year(s) or fight(s) would you say that he was in his absolute prime?

    Floyd prime was from

    Ndou to Marquez

    Gatti was a good showcase

    Personal favorites of mines: Ndou, Zab, DLH, Hatton, and Marquez. Those 5 fights showed how versatile Floyd is

      Hard to name one fight where we saw everything in Floyd arsenal. Very versatile fighter who could do it all and would use a different style based on his opponent

          Fraud Floyd's greatest ducks were...
          1 Pac for 6 years until Les Moonves forced it.
          2 Margarito in 2006
          3 Cotto 2006 unification on HBO. Cotto was unbeaten and with Top Rank/Arum
          4 Paul Williams
          5 GGG at 154
          6 Pac rematch now and when he handpicked Berto
          7 Vivian Harris WBA 140 shot bypassed to box bum Henry Bruseles.
          8 Winky Wright after Floyd declared he could beat anyone from 154 on down. Winky stepped up and Floyd ducked.
          9 Amir Khan
          10 Kostya Tszyu, Joel Casamayor, Freitas
