Ill give my thoughts to all of you guys answers. 1st of all, I think its ****** to say that Floyd wont fight any of those guys. Im a Floyd fan but I have always been fair and a realist in my comments. I have always said that Floyd wanted no part of Cotto or Margarito the 1st time around because the size & strength was just too much. I dont see how people cant understand that or call him a ***** for that. He was coming into the ring at 146 pounds for every fight while all the other WW's were at 160-170 in the ring and even outweighed him by more then that naturaly.
I always say that Floyd doesnt mind losing but if someone beats him he wants it to be because they were better then him, not just too big for him to do anything with. He wouldve killed himself if he lost to an inferior guy like Margarito only because of size. Thats why Floyd didnt fight them and I think people were wrong for ripping him for it. Now things are different though. Now he's probably like 152 in the ring. He's still the smallest WW but can handle himself more. Thats why I think now he has no fear of fighting those guys but its a business and he would be foolish to fight them before JMM & Pac. Youre supposed to go up, not down. Its just like Mosley wanting Pac & Floyd before he fights Williams. He's not scared of PW but it makes more sense to go the other way 1st.
Thats why I think people are dumb for saying this about Floyd, just because he's not jumping to fight Shane or whoever. He's not jumping because a super mega fight is still out there with Pac. Once that is done or goes away then I bet anything he will shift to the WW's with no problem. As for who gives him more trouble? I actually see Pac, Cotto, and Shane as equal. I could see Floyd killing all of them and I can see all of them giving Floyd hell. Pac maybe inferior to the other 2 because they can trouble Floyd with there size but Pac aint small. He's basicaly just as big as Floyd and he brings something that none of the others bring. He's a SOUTHPAW and that could give Floyd hell. I could see Pac catching him.
Cotto would be problems because he has that bully style and could physicaly pound on Floyd. I could see him giving Floyd alot of trouble with this but again, this isnt 2 years ago. 2 years ago with Floyd being 146, that wouldve gave him hell and Floyd knew it. He was basicaly a LW/JR WW fighting at WW against big guys. Now he can handle that pressure more and I think his speed, reach, and height could trouble Cotto but Cotto does have a style to make Floyd run & pot shot. I always say that there are only 2 ways to beat Floyd. Thats to be so much bigger & stonger to the point where he cant do anything but run & pot shot or to be a Southpaw and just catch him with something. Thats what Cotto & Pac can do respectively.
I heard alot of people on here say that Floyd wont fight Mosley but would fight Cotto. I think Floyd would fight Mosley definatly before he fights Cotto because although Shane has super strength and loves to brawl, he's still not going to just bully Floyd like a Cotto or Margarito could. I think Floyd feels that Shane has no D, punches way too wide, and it too aggressive for his own good. I think Floyd has genuinely always wanted Shane and feels that he can beat him easily. Things are much more difficult now with Richardson in Shane's corner as he is a beast trainer. That will give Floyd problems. I still say that hardly no righty in history is going to hit a "prime" Mayweather clean. I just dont see it happening. Thats why all 3 of these guys cancel eachother out. Shane & Cotto would give Floyd way more problems with there size than Pac would but Pac is a Southpaw who can catch Floyd clean sometimes while the other 2 probably never will the whole fight. All 3 are tough and all 3 are beatable. Remember, Floyd didnt know that Pac was going to fight Cotto. He thought Pac would wait for him like he was 1st. I think Floyd actually planned to fight all 3 guys but now it will just be 2, and thats only if Shane beats Berto which is a big if to me
