Sure Floyd is technically skilled and has great handspeed and a different kind of power than Cotto or Toni but I just think he's a fragile fighter and no one has really put him to the test other than an old De la Hoya and hell I think Floyd was lucky to get away with that fight with a 0 in the loss column. Oscar didn't try to punish Floyd...everyone wants to work in around Floyd's defense via the jab and combinations....Miguel will beat up the defense and Floyd will take punishment either on his defense or through his defense.


Cotto is waiting to be an attractive fight for Floyd....and that is smart because when Floyd wants to fight HIM and not the other way around Cotto then holds all the cards and can affect the amount of money he's going to get AND more importantly the size of the ring.
Rep for that. I really think both can be too strong for him. I think both would either outpoint Floyd by putting him into a defensive shell and outwork him, or methodically break him down, force him to fight and stop him. Floyd is a great fighter, but these are two incredible strong fighters, in their prime, and on a mission.

I don't think Floyd wants to face guys like that right now. I think his heart is on making some good money before retiring, but no longer in the sport. I doubt we will see Floyd fight either of them.
