Im not going to lie, this is very long but it goes by fast and if you want to be real about your thoughts on this argument then you have to read this. Ill break it up into 2 post. Again I see a Floyd-SRL thread and people are ripping Floyd. I have talked about this so much and you guys act like you are too foolish to even understand. Its dumb just like when the idiot Manny Steward says that Floyd isnt anything compared to SRL or Hears.
Heres what you guys are failing to understand. They are 2 completely different sizes. The fact is that Floyd moved to WW so now everyone compares him as a WW to other guys as there WW which is so completely unfair. How can you fools keep saying that SRL has all this that Floyd doesnt have without failing to mention the weights. If your going to compare them then you have to compare them in a P4P sense. Its so ****** to keep comparing them at WW when Floyd is in his 4th division and clearly a super small WW who unaturally moved up. If your being fair about it then you compare Floyd at 130 to SRL at 147. Doesnt that make far more sense?
If you compare them at there starting weights then it definatly is a close comparison and Floyd would be argued to be better by alot of people. People say dumb stuff like SRL could box but also had the power to fight people and knock them out. Idiots, Floyd did all that at his 1st weight also. In his first few fights people said his best attribute was his power. He had basically the same power or more then SRL and he was faster while easily having a better defense. Infact, its so funny because I remember back then Floyd was on TV saying that the difference between him and the other top fighters in the sport is that he stop guys and they dont. He said that he was better because he was knocking out everyone in his division when they were top fighters and the other P4P guys arent doing that. He knocked out nearly everyone at 130 and fought every guy at that weight. He stood toe to toe and cleaned out the division. Stop comparing a WW Floyd to a WW SRL when Floyd doesnt even weigh 147 on fight night and SRL was a huge natural WW. Its not fair at all. Forget SRL, I hate it when idiots say that about Floyd vs the fighters now. They rip him and compare him to these other fighters but they all forget that all those other guys are at there original weight class and most of them are huge at there weights. Floyd could fight all those guys too at 130 but if you continue to move up then your style has to change, e****ally if your doing it untaurally.
So I ask you all again, is SRL way better then Floyd when you compare them in the fair way which is P4P, SRL at WW and Floyd at 130. Not only do I think Floyd is better or atleast right there in that sense but Floyd was way better then SRL & Hearns when he moved up in weight. Those guys moved up and fell off for the most part. Again, you cant compare Floyd to guys when he's not even a real WW and WW was not only there best divison but they all finished at LHW. Are you kidding me? Its not fair at all. If you go weight for weigh then Floyd is easily right there and all the stuff you guys say about who is more of a fighter or who has more power doesnt stand up. I always tell people to remember this. If Floyd played his career naturally then he wouldve stayed at 135 until right now and just now be moving to 140 to finish his career. Can you argue against that? His weight clearly shows that.
If Floyd had did that then I bet anything that everyone would be calling Floyd one of the best fighters ever. Thats my biggest regret for Floyd. He chased the Oscar fight and moved up unaturally. If he wouldve stayed at 135 until now like he easily couldve then how many people would be calling Floyd boring? We all would be talking about how he stands toe to toe and kills these guys with his Offense & Defense. He would be stopping alot of guys. His speed would be blistering and none of those 130 or 135 pounders would want to face him. If he just now moved to 140 to finish his career then wouldnt he dominate everyone and stop nearly every opponent? Everyone would be looking at him differently. Thats why it makes me mad when a clown like Calzaghe talks about Floyd running even though he has fought much better fighters and is fighting guys way way way bigger then him in his 4th & 5th weight class unaturally but Calzaghe is still at his same weight where he is fighting guys his size or smaller. It makes a huge difference. Its the same about all the huge guys at WW.
