Wow, how could anyone think he was? He's smaller, much less reach, slower, no power, and an old man on top if it. What the hell are you people smoking?
As far as the rest of it, Margarito has the size and enough power to make Mayweather at least about what he's doing. Not to mention the experience.

Mosley, no explanation necessary.

Williams, I haven't seen enough of him to be sure, but I think his size and aggression would make it interesting. At this point, it's hard to see how Floyd handles it. It would definitely prove something if he took on such a challenge, but this is Floyd so forget it. He would never do anything for the pure challenge of it.

Cotto, I don't think matches up well with Floyd, but his power makes him dangerous. Again, dangerous, Floyd wants no part of it so forget it. He's out too.

Does it ever cross the mind of any of you Floyd lovers out there how he's managed to be a professional so long and managed so few big fights? Wake up people.
Oh, and by the way, I never said these were great fighters who were better than Floyd or would dominate Floyd, my point was that each of these guys presents something to challenge Floyd that Baldomir and Judah didn't. Baldomir especially, who had absolutely nothing to challenge him with. You wanted to know who he could have fought for a better challenge, well here it is.

They're out there now, they were different names, but they were out there the year before that and the year before that too. But it's always somebody else's fault why they never happen.

When it comes to most things, taking the path of least resistance is logical and smart, but if you want to do it while you're a boxer and say at the same time that you fight the best, it just doesn't work.
