floyd has never fought at featherweiight as a pro. i would assume thats because he was never small enough to so theres really no point in discussing this matchup at that weight.
Saying Naseem would beat Floyd is like saying Jay-Jay Okocha is better than Zinedine Zidane. One player/boxer isn't exactly bad but half of the stuff they pull off is only effective against fighters of a certain class, the other player/boxer is in the upper echelon of their respective sport.
If they fought at 130lb Floyd would beat him senseless.
Floyd never fought at 126. Had Naseem jumped to 130 in the Late 90's or early 00's, Floyd would have beaten Naseem by a wide UD. It'd be a 10-2 fight at least.
Floyd TKO 7. Naz got dropped a lot in his career and Floyd was a motherfucking BEAST at 130-140. The only advantage Naz has over Floyd is power and power doesn't mean shit if you can't hit anything.
