Hurd vs Mayweather(from 5 yesra ago)@154

Floyd has never fought a pressure fighter as big or tall as Hurd. fights are not fought on paper and floyd knew not to get in the ring with Margarito because even on paper he didn't like the odds...when u get offered your biggest payday and u say its easy work but leave the money on the table and never collect, that speaks volumes...Money Mayweather didn't want the easy money but claim it was easy work......we can talk all day but who knew if Floyd would really beat a big relentless pressure fighter....remember he struggled with the smaller Castillo and Madiana, thats a fact.

Fighter ABC (with recent big win) vs Floyd. Can we move on?

Mayweather. He is born a winner

I dont like going against mayweather but i think Hurd gives him some problems with his pressure stalking style. I wouldnt bet against mayweather though so probably mayweather wins a close fight.

My thoughts are he would have a good chance to win. Mayweather was the best welterweight in the world five years ago but he owned two 154 pound titles that he never defended. The Mayweather of five years ago may have had a hard time beating Lara. Maidana gave Mayweather a hard fight. Hurd is bigger and better than Maidana and hits harder. No foot speed no hand speed, Floyd schools him and makes it look so easy people think he cheated , speed kills and nobody this slow will trouble him, Hurd and Margo are like plodding zombies to a guy with Floyds tools, and Lara don't have Floyds tools nor stamina, Floyd would school lara as well in a pure boxing contest, different classes.

So the Floyd from the Canelo fight? don't think Hurd could make 152 and still be able to fight(Canelo couldn't) though I'm sure he would try, for the money

So the Floyd from the Canelo fight?

hurd would literally put 1 hand on Floyd's head and beat him silly with the other.

yeah wild accusations oh wait he fought sharmba instead for less money. zab for less money. baldomir for less money after the buy out. didn't even want margarito's mexican fanbase for more buys and buzz. he wasn't scared doe he just didn't want to take on the number 1 guy From what i remember, he had a choice between Margo and Baldomir and he chose the latter for supposedly 8 million.. He could have faced Margarito but Arum wanted options on his next few fights so he wasnt gonna go that route. He wanted nothing to do with Arum..

Floyd would KO Hurd in one round. No contest here. Maybe in 20 seconds.

Floyd easy, hurds feet wouldn't allow him touch him, easy UD.

Bah. I thought there was some sparring video here :beerchug:

Floyd. Cuz he's Floyd.

Mayweather wins

Lara beats Floyd, Hurd I'm not so sure.

This is like Floyd-Margarito, a fight we never got to see and people accusing floyd of being scared lol. Hurd has massive size advantage and is so relentless. I wouldnt be surprised if floyd breaks his hands on his hard head. It’s a tough fight to call. In a big sized ring, floyd can possibly dance circles and win a decision but every moment for him would be crucial. He has to fight the perfect fight. yeah wild accusations oh wait he fought sharmba instead for less money. zab for less money. baldomir for less money after the buy out. didn't even want margarito's mexican fanbase for more buys and buzz. he wasn't scared doe he just didn't want to take on the number 1 guy

This. Tired of seeing idiots make these references. MarGGGarito never had the style to trouble Floyd. People confuse come forward brawlers with volume stalkers that push the boundaries. In first JLC fight JLC punched Mayweather several times in the back, hit him low, behind the head..things that took Floyd out of his comfort zone. And the ref essentially allowed it. This makes things very difficult for Floyd. In the first Maidana fight Marcos low blowed Floyd many times, hit behind the head, held with one arm and hit with the other, outright tackled Floyd once, and was never penalized. Again, this really troubles Floyd because he has to defend against both legal and illegal blows. One could say those fights were only close because the refs allowed them to be...considering Floyd won more cleanly (but still close) in rematches with JLC and MM. Come forward brawlers do not beat Mayweather. That's not the style to beat him. It's aggressive stalkers who make Floyd uncomfortable. We might have saw a fun fight with Ortiz if he didn't go TOO FAR beyond the rules. Also, Ortiz was mentally broke after he headbutted Floyd...tried kissing him??? TF????? Anyhow one could make a real case JLC won the first fight. Dirty tactics or not it was razor close. Floyd clearly wins first 4 rounds and you'd have to be generous to give him another 2 throughout the fight...wish we had a HD version to judge from Floyd has never fought a pressure fighter as big or tall as Hurd.

Mayweather wins but he must never touch the ropes! Hurd would land maybe single digit shots depending on ring size, Floyd is too smart, creative and footwork is miles apart to be caught up trading inside with Hurd! People underestimate how intelligent Floyd is, year's ago golks were saying Lara would beat Mayweather! Lol

Hurd would land single shots but I dont see Floyd giving him the opportunity to follow up. Floyd can take a punch
