How do people think this would have played out?
I am sure that serious boxing fans realize this is a serious questions. PBF was only 22-23 at the time, and Casa is one of the most skilled fighters of recent times, a southpaw with a deed bag of tricks, both legal and illegal.
Floyd always engages soutpaws, and Casa is a sharp patient counterpuncher, with great ring generalship, implemented with smooth movement and excellent timing. On top of that he was excellent and very frustrating on the inside.
To me it boils down to whether 1999 PBF had already developed the kind of warfare material, which he would display only much later in 2007 against Hatton (And no i don't think that it was already there in the Jesus Chavez Fight).
There is of course the possibility that it turns into some kind of potshotting fest, but I have never seen a potshotting fest involving Floyd and a southpaw.
This would have been a great fight, but Casa was a no name fighter fighting nobodies at the time, and it is really hard to blame anyone for not making this happen.
