Saddler is probably the best shot there. Oscar could never do it, his best shot was when he fought him and he got toyed with.
I wouldn't say 7-5 is being toyed with
He beat Oscar more clearly than that I thought. 117-111 was my score.

He would move and pot shot to a clear decision, obviously GGG is far bigger puncher and such but he's not going to land much at all

More than a bigger puncher, he'd be significantly stronger than Floyd, and would be able to bull him to the ropes and manhandle him around the ring. At 160 Floyd isn't gonna be able to move fluidly and outbox him with ease.
He never fought ANYBODY at 160. Let alone a long reigning Champion. Assuming he'd beat a long reigning Champion at a weight class he never once competed at is just stupid.
Bringing the weight class into this discussion at all was stupid. Which is why it's the first thing I said in the thread.

He beat Oscar clear, but Oscar threw I think like 15-20 more punches per round than the average Floyd opponent, giving some the impression he was doing better than he was. That is actually a really important attribute, the confidence to keep throwing even when you miss, against someone far more skilled but less active it's really your only hope, that you can either legit earn a win on volume or con it on volume

I'm confident on him beating GGG. His strengths go with GGG's weaknesses perfectly to exploit them and negate the size. Spectacular little man beats very good bigger man in this case

I don't think so, but considering he never fought at the weight I'll never say he could beat any Middleweight. Obviously he could've beat some, and some could've beat him.
But since he never fought at the weight it's irrelevant.

I mean, I'd say it's pretty obvious he'd win a decision over someone like Derevyanchenko

9-3 is a bit of a stretch...
How'd you score the first Maidana fight?
