    If he beats Pacquaio to the haters it won't mean anything. After his complete domination of Marquez they will have already dismissed Manny as too small.

    Realistically Manny doesn't offer much at all to challenge Floyd imo so hopefully Cotto smashes Manny and then we will have a decent fight to look forward to there.

    Mosely is the guy he needs to face imo, he's proven world class, the current Ring champ at welter I believe and more than anyone deserves a top fight.

    Aside from Mosely Paul Williams would be the biggest test.

    I actually posted a couple of years ago saying I believed Williams would beat Floyd and everyone laughed at me. Now I believe it would be the consensus.

    Mosley, Cotto and Williams for me. If he beats all three of them there can be no justification for any criticism of Floyd. However, it is very unlikely Floyd will take on and beat all of them. We will be very lucky to see him in there with even one of them. You get the impression that Floyd couldn't care less about trying to prove himself a great. Too much gay love for his 0.

    I would like to see Floyd against Mosley, but I don't see what problems Mosley truly posses to Floyd, he's a great athlete, but his offense is such that Mayweather would have no problem defending against it, and Mayweather would have an even easier time hitting MOsley.

    Williams can't deal with movement, and even though he is so tall, he doesn't have the kind of jab that Hearns had to properly impose himself on opponents. I think he's still easy to hit if you can reach him, and Mayweather has to the speed to pot shot him all night. Williams is really good against stationary fighters, but not against movement.

    Cotto I think is a great fighter for FLoyd to face, I think Floyd clearly wins this even if Cotto beats PAcquiao, but Floyd is easiest to hit in the body, there is no more accurate guy then Cotto when they have you on the ropes, and Cotto is a similar, but better version of Jose Luis Castillo who gave Mayweather all types of problems when they fought, I think if Cotto came in sharp he would have be the best challenge for Floyd.

    If Berto can beat Mosley, I think he will prove himself a valid opponent for Floyd, but thats a huge IF. I think if he can refine his talent, that Berto could be truly special, but he better hurry up.
