Floyd's style, combined with his ring intelligence, calm, speed, recoupable abilities when hurt, accuracy will make just about any good fighter look ordinary and any great fighter look limited.
What sucks for Floyd is that after he beats them, they are all of a sudden limited, old, never good, etc.
I won't deny that Floyd hasn't fought the most DANGEROUS opponents throughout his welterweight life. So some critique is warranted. But this just seems like the norm. I cannot see how Cotto or Margarito could have stood a chance vs Floyd. But they are fighters people wanted to see. I think he would have made both of them look limited, slow, plodding and ordinary.
I think Pacman would put up a great 3-4 round effort. But eventually Floyd as usual will catch on and clip Pacman all night to a decision and possibly a stoppage.
