and

Antonio Margarito at 147 in 2006.

Let me know if I missed any......................

If PBF would have beat any of those guys, would that cancel the argument about his weak competition? I highly doubt it.

Regardless of whatever reason,those fights were not made.But hypothetically speaking,if they were,and Floyd won,how can anyone have said anything? Margarito has been unbeaten at ww since 96? Ring umber 2 and ESPN number 2? Hatton/Tszyu,RING number 1 at 140? A legend and an unbeaten fighter? If anyone said that those fights would not have boosted his, at best, decemt resume,then I wholeheartedly disagree and they do not know what they are talking about. But i HIGHLY doubt anyone would have said that.
Point is, that there would be a counter-argument made against any of those three, given the time that he would have beat them.

Arguments would have been as follows

Kostya Tzsyu - He's past his prime (at the time he was 33), prime for prime KT would have destroyed him.

Ricky Hatton - It was an off-night, or a robbery.

Antonio Margarito - He was overrated to begin with.

I promise you a majority would not give PBF the credit he is lacking by beating any of those fighters.
