    No one beats floyd.

    No one has ever beat floyd.

    Only one that beats floyd is himself.

    If floyd fights another 6 times and gets old in the ring he beats himself.

    Castillo came close against an injured floyd but look what happened in the rematch.

    Oscar fight looked close but floyd won 8-4 or 7-5

    Maidana did a great job in the first fight with his awkward style but floyd still won.

    A prime Calzaghe against a prime floyd would be interesting (same imaginary weight class) but its still a win for the money man..he finds a way to win.

    His skills are what boxing is all about and lets hope we have the pleasure of seeing him fight again..

    Disagree with a few points in your post, but my main disagreement is Floyd vs Joe C. being interesting. If they were the same weight, prime vs prime,nFloyd dominates Joe (look how much he struggled with an ancient Hop suffering thyroid issues!). If we are talking prime vs prime not imaginary weight class, Joe is just too big for Floyd. Joe had a couple of solid performances vs Kessler and Lacy (maybe!), but I don't consider him in the class of Floyd, Hop, Manny, Roy...etc.

    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I want to say Floyd but Roy jones in his prime made james toney look like a sparring session.

    Roy was awesome in his prime.

    It's a ridiculously hard question to answer because of what being bigger adds and takes away from a fighter. I'd have to go Roy though, he had the power to go with the speed and he would bring something Floyd hasn't faced before with his unorthodox style.

    I agree the unorthodox boxing Roy would produce would make it difficult to Floyd to adjust and adapt. Floyd normally works out the difficult fighters by 4 rounds and takes over but giving 4 rounds away would be giving too much advantage.

    Disagree all you want.

    Floyd and calzaghe have left the sport undefeated and comfortable.
