Anyone Floyd faces,he will always be hot favourite because his defence and speed is so awesome.

i DISAGREE with those that think Mosley can beat him.Far too many technical flaws which were resolved at lighter weights via his speed and power. Floyd would counter him again and again and again over that lazy jab,Shane can't fight going backwards and he can't deal with a jab.

Hatton, Margarito, Cotto.... they just don't have the speed. Floyd outboxes all of them.

I actually think that Paul Williams has the body type to bother Floyd with his height and reach (similar to Forrest against Mosley) but Williams is way too raw at this point.
The speed issue is interesting,I disagree. Zab and Oscar are 2 of the fastest fighters around yet who still gave Floyd his toughest fight...one of his slower opponents,JLC.

If people are going to score fights on activity as opposed to clean punches, ring generalship etc(like some Oscar fans did for this fight) and if the judges love activity so much,I say Margarito gives Floyd hell. Floyd is 10 times faster,would be favourite but Tony is like a bigger JLC,throws way way more and is just as tough. Floyd's activity levels aren't that high and he does not throw in combinations like he used to,so TOny will be able to take what's coming back. Margarito has a decent jab when he uses it,and his long reach would make it hard for Floyd. He's also decent at cutting off the ring.

It could resemble a Ponce De Leon v Penelosa scenario whereby the slick guy lands better punches,the other guy throws shedloads more and I DO admit that Floyd would be HOT favourite to win but all I'm saying is styles make fights and Tony's style would make it hard for Floyd to score his points.



Winky at 154 would definitely beat him,the jab would control Floyd' speed and Floyd's only chances to land would be to counter but Wright's defence is so tight.
