If Floyd fought 20 years ago...

[pbftxrs316]

why even make this thread. it's the same people who think hatton can beat floyd. to these people, everybody beats floyd. hell, don king beats floyd. seeing how floyd has never been knocked out, how can you people predict a knockout on him? you cannot. having power over floyd doesn't get the job done people. we don't know how he would have faired against any hearns, hagler, leonard, pryor, robinson, or any other fighter. you peole jumped on this thread like flies on cupcakes just to add more biased and hateful remarks about floyd. you put him in fights with full blown welerweights and leave out the fact that floyd has always said, weight don't win fights. floyd has better defense than a hagler, hearns, leonard, duran, or pryor. he counterpunched better than them all also. skillwise, he is better than all of them, even leonard who had tremendous skill obviously. duran, imo would have lost to floyd because when duran got hit, defense began to lack. hearns hit hard as hell obviosuly, but could he catch floyd like that. and stamina woudln't be a problem for floyd either obviousy. like dlt said, he could hang with all of them. he would be apart of the elite.

I predict that he is at least a 1 loss fighter(de la hoya)...they didnt reward passiveness and gave the champ the benefit of the doubt in those days.

Skill wise he is as good as anyone in the history of boxing, but he is not a fighter at heart.

DLH didn't win that fight. The champ didn't land as much as the challenger. At the most I give Oscar 5 rounds.

Well he would have been at lightweight so its hard to say. Maybe if he let himself fill into a Welterweight position he would have faired well against them. Besides that he still would have been one of the best. IMO

I don't think Floyd would have gone above 135 back then. He'd be in no hurry to go to 140 with Pryor and Arguello there waiting and you wouldn't have seen him for dust if you'd mentioned the WW division at that time - SRL, Hearns, Benitez, Duran.

[THE REAL NINJA]

He'd be Wilfred Benitez .

at 130, i have no doubt that Duran would beat Floyd, at 147 i'd say it's 50/50... Hearns is just so wrong for Floyd... SRL, would decision Floyd... Hagler is a middleweight, so it's pointless...

[EliteSoldier]

Hagler would ko floyd, thats a fact not an opinion.

I think Floyd would beat Duran at 147. He COULD beat Leonard if Sugar had a bad night. I wouldn't put Floyd in the ring with Hearns or Hagler to be honest.

[Verstyle]

He would have a belt for sure,but for the rest I dont know all 4 fighters from the 80s that good to give a great observation on a fight if it took place.
