    And put him in the mix with today's 140-154 class, who would it be?

    I think these have to be my top two candidates

    I'd bring back Aaron Pryor and Julian Jackson. Pryor to meet Floyd at 140 and Jackson to meet Canelo at 154 lbs!

    Oh, Floyd by decision and I have no idea how the other fight goes! How sturdy is Canelo's chin?

    I honestly don't rate Canelo that highly at all. He's a good boxer puncher, it remains to be seen if he can become something special. I thought Trout beat him.

    How does Floyd fare with the version of Duran that showed up in Montreal?

    At 147 lbs that would be a great fight. Toss up IMO! Duran's perpetual motion may not work as effectively against a spoiler type inside fighter. Ray was willing to give Duran time and space to work inside, as he, Ray, was also willing to work hard. Duran will not be allowed that with Floyd. I think Floyd will find it very difficult to pot shot against Duran's very effective defence.
