I don't think so, he's a great fighter just like some of those who fall just short of truly elite he has a suspect chin.
Very similar to Rafael Marquez. Put him in with a relentless punching machine who doesn't stop coming forward and he was always going to have problems.
I thought he'd get KO'd he's been rocked in many fights and didn't look totally comfortable against Zab and Mosely.
He's a great fighter no doubt but the Margarito, Duran type battlers don't suit him.
I still think he'd be a tougher fight for Floyd than Tony though, I see Floyd doing to Tony what Cotto did for the first 5 rounds but keeping it up for 12.
Floyd is truly world elite and is one of the all time greats who like Ali, Robinson and Ray Leonard doesn't fold under intense pressure and would be durable enough to see of Margarito.
His lack of real power though would mean he'd have a harder job with Cotto imo.
Bit like the Ali, Foreman, Frazier thing.
