Seed soaking

I know seed soaking is not a good test to check if a seed is viable but are peach seeds (bonanza) supposed to float first and then sink? I’m removed the kernels/embryo from inside the hard pit!
I’ve put 3 kernels in warm water and straightaway one floats (bigger healthy looking seed) and two sinks (dried and more wrinkles).
Which one is more likely to germinate?
Thanks
