De La Hoya , Chavez , Duran , Mosley and Whitaker

[Left Hook Tua]

I don't know, maybe because I just rewatched Forrest-Mosley 1 today is why, but Shane was took vicious rights, uppercuts, body shots, etc from Forrest and I think Floyd could land them as well, especially the right.

forrest's length and style gave shane problems.

floyd and shane is about the same size though shane might be stronger.

shane should've avoided vernon and winky like everyone else did.

funny shane is a worse matchup for those 2 than the others but shane was only one that had the balls to take those 2 on.

props for shane.

that's how i feel too.

floyd is a bad matchup for julio. too much speed......but you never know chavez was one tough mofo.

Maybe, but Chavez could really cut off the ring well, and was a better body puncher then Castillo. Floyd might get one fight off him if it were a triology, but I think Chavez would win.

I'd pick him to beat:

Mosley, then De La Hoya, then Duran (147), Chavez, and Whitaker would be the worst fight for him.

Yeah I got a ton of respect for Mosley, he has overpassed easy money fights for the best, Winky, and Forrest are the perfect example. Mosley wants to be known as a great, he is competitive and really an amazing fighter.

Yeah. I can see Floyd moving around and pot-shotting Chavez and then going to work inside and counterpunching, but Chavez may be too tough and relentless for Floyd but at the moment I would bet on Floyd in a hard fight.

that's what is so hard to figure with a chavez-floyd fight.

chavez is better and would fight like castillo who gave floyd the most problems out of everybody , though to me floyd clearly won the first fight.

but...... pernell whitaker clearly beat julio and meldrick taylor should've beat julio as well and floyd certainly has the physical tools and skills to equal pernell and meldrick's performance.

tough call.

Shane has been hit alot in almost every fight. Shane has really bad defensive lapses... his chin allows it. But it also makes him susceptible to being outboxed.
I mean, Fernando vargas was boxing pretty even with Shane.

Someone of Shane's athleticism shouldn't get hit as much as he does.

[MWMerlino]

All but DLH would win.

And I don't believe that fight was a split decision, that was a rigged score to ensure a rematch.

[Silencers]

A prime DLH at 147 would have been able to beat Mayweather IMO even though he did have problems with fast fighters in his prime.

Mayweather would have beaten Chavez at any weight.

Duran would have won at 135, I think the Duran that beat Leonard would have won against Mayweather at 147.

Prime Mosley would have beaten Mayweather.

Whitaker would have too.

...Chavez, in his prime, would make PBF sit on his stool...when he lost to Whittaker, at that point in his career PBF would also take him...but, you are forgeting the one fighter that would be "certain doom" for PBF because he'd run circles around him...and as much as I hate the guy, I think he'd give PBF fits...WHAT TIME IS IT?????...IT'S MACHO TIME!!!!!...I would love to see that fight...

Duran is the only one to beat Floyd. Floyd BARELY gets by JCC.
