Becaus Floyd’s fighting style was strictly defensive with lots of clinching, running, and avoiding combat and using IQ. Being prime or not doesn’t really affect that style, at all.
Where as somebody like Pacquiao whom during his prime utilized his speed, power and high offensive output is completely dictated by him being in his prime.
Being prime effects Floyd’s style massively.
Reflexes, timing, speed and footwork were massive components to his game all of which fell significantly as he got older
Winky Wright
Kostya Tszyu
Paul Williams
Antonio Margarito
Prime Mosley
Prime Cotto
Prime Pacquiao
Prime King Khan
Tim Bradley
GGG @154
Depends on which Williams showed up. Williams against Margarito was unbeatable.
The rest lose easily. Tszyu was tailor made for Floyd nd he knew it. Floyd called him out after Brussels, Kostya didn't want it. This was 5 or so months before Hatton fought Tszyu so it was a game fight.

Prime Shane might have been a good one.
Margarito was a sloth that was always there, he made a lot of guys look greater on the night, one fight doesnt make a guy unbeatable its the opponents style in that fight that does it for that one night.
Floyd gets shutout by Wright. Too big and he wouldn’t chase him. He’s just stand in the middle of the ring and Pringle jab him to death. In no real world would that fight be competitive
Winky might've done it at 154. Could've been the worst fight of the decade though. I also think a prime Mosley would have given Floyd fits. Prime ODLH beats him easily.
