Your a good dude Silkey and I'm enjoying the debate I think Floyd could have beaten almost anyone put in front of him in this era unfortunately he never fought these fights

I would have liked to have seen Floyd clean out 130 against Casamayor and Frietas fights with Spadafora and Dorin (over Ndou and Sosa) Tszyu at 140 then Hatton instead of moving to 147 for Mitchell challenging Spinks for the championship and avoiding the whole necessity for the Baldomir-Judah situation after De La Hoya I would have like him to face Williams or Cotto but he retired when there were still challenges awaiting him (not forced like Leonard with his eyes or Ali with the courts) when he returned he did't fight the best (Pacquiao) like Leonard did against Hagler at middleweight btw
casamayor and frietes never wanted any...nor did Tszyu.

Zoo said he'd fight the best...then chose Hatton

Cotto not once tried to get Floyd in the ring back then...he just admitted it before their fight.

"Arum not once mentioned fighting Mayweather"

Cotto said himself he NEVER asked or pushed for the fight.

Williams...lol....never had anything Floyd wanted..if he did he would have easilly taken it.
Floyd conveniently fought Corley, Bruseles and then Gatti nice work on targeting the champ

Williams had defeated Margarito when Floyd chose to fight Baldomir instead Cotto was number 1 and Williams number 2

Like I said earlier Floyd never fought these fights so he can't get credit for them. I agree he would have beaten these guys but actually doing and saying are two totally different things
Williams nowhere on the scene when Floyd fought Baldomir...fool.

Cotto and Arum didn't want Mayweather...stumpy.
So Mayweather wasn't offered the fight with Margarito? For 8m but chose to fight Baldomir instead leading to Williams-Margarito.

Mayweather avoided Cotto and signed for a pointless rematch with De La Hoya

Another guy who hasn't been mentioned is Wright. Apparently Floyd pulled out at the last minute
