I don't think Floyd would have been stopped, I think Ray would have respected Floyd's skills and speed.. the thing is people need to lower Ray down from that pedestal they have him chilling on and bring him back into contention and evaluate him accordingly.. Floyd is a GREAT conditioned athlete with hidden power that he doesn't showcase unless forced to, against Ray he would have to, Ray would win but he would respect Floyd's skills I'll tell you that much, maybe a repeat of father and son with Sugar TKO'ing Floyd in the last round or a decision but Floyd wont get KO'ed, he will lose but by either TKO while still on his feet or decision, no doubt that Ray was a ****er but even against the great Ray Leonard Floyd is just too evasive, he has skills in his own right that need to be respected here, Ray would win but IMO on the cards, he hit hard as **** and was quick too but Floyd is a beast himself yo and a lighter and younger Floyd was not only faster but he was a power puncher, put all biasness aside and really take time to think about that, I ain't saying Floyd would win but he shouldn't be declared the loser on some chump **** he would put up a fight..
against Duran I think it would be tough, Duran likes to **** Floyd doesn't, I think if Floyd was born and bred in that era and knew how it felt to fight amongst those warriors then he could have beaten Duran but if we talking about Floyd from this era as he stands today then Duran would chop him down, Duran was fast in the lighter weights and Floyd was too but Duran was probably the biggest Lightweight puncher ever, that has to be acknowledged here, I think Floyd would frustrate him but eventually do that on the ropes shiut which will **** him up all the way, I think both Duran and Leonard would win but you have to understand that it was a different era of fighters, the guys there were harder and endured more, them 3 extra rounds made a difference, if Floyd was born and bred there with his current skills he would have triumphed simply because he would have been too slick for these guys but he ain't built to go rounds with guys like that..
bottomline Floyd losses to both but he ain't going to be killed neither, if he came up in that time I think he would win, he would be too elusive but he wouldn't be undefeated though, it's just in todays era there aren't fighters like before, there were a different breed of Boxers back then, they were harder and stronger than the ones of today so a Floyd Jr who fights today wouldn't do very well in terms of winning, he would last but he wont win however if he was brought up at THAT time and was fighting and beating these guys from that era like he does the guys of this era he would have beaten both, he would have been up to par but as is Floyd never been up against guys like that so he would lose by either TKO or dceision, I don't see a 10 fall.. 100
