    Default Who could have beaten Floyd?

    Who in the current era would have had the best chance of beating Floyd?

    I think Floyd would have had to move up to Middleweight to find the man who could really cause serious problems and those problems for me would only come against GGG. Even then I think I'd just favour Floyd. He is/was a master at negating opponents strengths and we have never seen Golovkin up against someone like that. I really wanted Floyd to take that huge chance for hiis very last fight but he chose the easy option in Berto unfortunately for us fans.

    This current era? I'm not sure anybody. I mean, sure, there would probably be a random person or two who had the right style match up and could win but from welter down, I wouldn't favor anyone in the slightest.

    In my honest opinion both Castillo & Maidana did beat him. His Vegas homie officials made sure he kept his 0 though

    Nobody would've beat him now just like nobody beat him while he was around.
    If he made a comeback in about a year or so, he'd be 40 and naturally there's gonna be someone come round who might've done him, but let's face facts, he ain't coming back and he ain't getting beat!

    I think it all depends. Floyd rarely fought the best at their peak. Pacquiao v Floyd was a lot closer fight 6 years ago rather than when it took place. Mind you I still have Floyd beating the prime version of Pac.

    I think Golovkin would have beaten him at 154, I also think guys like Lara and Andrade also give him a harder time then anyone else he fought. I also think Crawford could beat him.

    Andrade and GGG would give him problems just because of their huge size advantage. Other than that I don't think anyone comes close at all.

    Not a chance.

    Era?? last 10 years, 15, now? Those margins at times can be a little narrow.

    I would have liked to have seen Floyd in with Paul Williams before the accident. I would have gone for Floyd to win but I would have liked to see how he went about it. I certainly think he would have caused Floyd problems.
