Who could have beaten Floyd?

Armstrong vs Floyd is a harder Jesus Chavez vs Floyd. Armstrong would make guys fight inside with him even in the center of the ring
Respect to Jesus Chavez he actually threw 100 punches a round vs Floyd. He did what manny was supposed to and failed to do
Whitaker VS Floyd would be a harder Zab vs Floyd
Duran VS Floyd a tougher Maidana vs Floyd
Floyd is famous for winning, but if he fought all 3 of these guys I’m not sure he’d beat allComment

Interesting matchup man...
Hank had one hell of a chin so despite having to probably take a of a lot of punishment, I could actually see him forcing a stoppage late. Especially if it’s over 15 rounds. If Hearns was 100% on his gameplan and looked to box he could use his length to control distance and win a decision but I think Armstrong would drag him into the trenches at some point.Comment

They’d all be 50/50’s IMO man. Depends who can impose their style more and dictate the pattern of the fight.Armstrong vs Floyd is a harder Jesus Chavez vs Floyd. Armstrong would make guys fight inside with him even in the center of the ring
Whitaker VS Floyd would be a harder Zab vs Floyd
Duran VS Floyd a tougher Maidana vs Floyd

Well, you can make an argument that he actually lost a couple of close fights inside the ring but got the decision from the judges. His superb boxing IQ, skill and the benefit of "special treatment" made him an undefeated legend. While he won some close fights that others would lose (vs. Jose Luis Castillo I), others lost fights that they actually won inside the ring but then got robbed by the judges. Ex. Pacquiao vs Bradley I, Pacquiao vs Jeff Horn.Comment

This thread is soo... general, like nothing specific.. hard to answer
but of the people he fought/could've fought Ima say: Castillo, Shane at 35, Zab, & Vernon Forrest word to Roger Mayweather. If you know you know.
You think a lot like me. Are you the UK version of myself?Comment
I’m a huge Manny fan but that fight wasn’t even that close. No way you can give Pac more than 4/5 rounds without an agenda.
