I dont rate Ricky as one of Floyd's most meaningful fights! Floyd has faced men way better and more awkward when he was PAST prime, and put on a show! Not only that, but Ray fights nothing like Ricky!
Ray is a taller, outdated, less skilled version of Floyd! Not only that but boxrec may list Floyd as being taller with longer arms than everyone he faced but thats absurdity!
Everyone Floyd faces, towers over him with much much longer arms! Pacman and JMM are the only opponents in recent yrs who were smaller!
Ray is not dancing against Floyd, thats craziness Lol Ray wouldnt be the taller faster guy! Floyd would be the smaller quicker man, with greater reaction time! Ray would look stuck in mud, fighting a hollagram of what he thought was another fighter!
And he would sit their trying to outFloyd, Floyd, which spells trouble!
And you ignored this so I will post it again;
"I dont compare Floyd's speed to his opponents! I compare one version of Floyd to another version of Floyd, because he changes from fight to fight!
Marcos had good enough footwork to keep up with Floyd in the first fight! In the second, Floyd made him look too slow! Based off the second fight, I still felt Pac would be too much for Floyd! But when they fought, Floyd was in another gear! He made Pac look like a small, flatfooted, brawler with slow hands!"
The Floyd who faced JMM, was blisteringly faster than the Floyd who faced Judah yet he's older!
I dont even talk about speed for that reason. He changes from fight to fight!
When Floyd faced Ghost, he would pounce across the ring in a single bound! He was again, a completely different fighter! Due to Ghost size, reach, and height, Floyd wanted to fight him like he did Genero Hernandez! In the 3rd round, I remember Floyd gliding!
But Floyd wouldnt even do that against Ray! Due to Ray's style, and slenderness, I expect Floyd to rough him up similar to Canelo, but worse because Canelo is big and bulky! Ray is a tall skinny man!
I expect the fights to be identical almost! I absolutely do think that its a whitewash, and I give him credit but this is the thing;
IT IS NOT FAIR, to compare fighters from an outdated era, to boxing-machines from the future! Thats not fair to SRL! If Floyd or Pac fought in his era, he would be SHOCKED!
Look at how he ducked Hagler! I REALLY feel that its a GREAT chance we wouldnt see Pac vs SRL! Floyd doesnt have that brutalizing thing that Pac had, so I dont think SRL would duck Floyd! He would try, and he would fail! But I just dont think that those fighters are mentally prepared to witness these caliber of fighters in an era like that!
Specially considering that SRL was the best in that era and he beat most of them, but Floyd is the best in our era, and he is WAAAAAY better than SRL! Their best AINT SHIET compared to our best! This is the future fam!
