the only past great to beat Floyd would be?

floyd is a better boxer than srl...srl is just bigger and stronger

Not at 147 he wasn't. His punch output at that weight had become severly diminished and he had a propensity to sit on the ropes. Tommy is to big, to fast and hits to hard to employ that type of strategy. On top of that he has experience against all time great fighters where as Floyd does not. If a past it DLH could hang close with Floyd a prime Hearns would lump him up.

srl beats floyd

But thats it?

Hey Larry is there anyone you dont think Floyd would beat? maybe that is a better yard stick for you, because you dont seem to be able to separate biased from commonsense that last couple of days.

Im all for the idea that old fighters are not always the best fghters and you dont have to fight in black and white to be a great fighter, but come on.

The last two days you have said Floyd would box circles around Duran and beat Whitaker badly and embarrass Hearns. I always thought you were an unbiased Floyd fan, but the last few days you have shown what true fanboy you are.

st8 up..most of the time im playing and yall get all serious..but he does beat duran and whitaker imho...i think srl would beat floyd thou

[larryx]

But thats it?

aaron pryor and floyd would be a good fight

[wmute]

slip his punches..then punch him..thats countering

so which punches would he counter and with which of his own punches?

[IMDAZED]

No way in hell. Gotta love Tommy, but he is simply not in that league.

Yeah he is.

[krispy kreme]

yes ive seen plenty of hearns fight..i wouldnt be surprised if floyd ko's hearns honestly

I wouldn't be surprised if Hearn's knocks out Floyd either. Almost everyone who fought Hearns was left with some type of serious injury if they didn't get knocked out.

[-Lowkey-]

i would say at ww

hearns
robinson
leonard
whittaker

i would strongly favour all of these against him

also duran and mosley at lw

i could have more names if i realy thought about it but tribute to floyd theres not a huge amout of guys i would favour against him

i dont think anyone would be surprised if hearns ko'd anyone..the boy could punch

[wmute]

Yeah he is.

If you consider longevity I guess you can make a case.

I will simply tell you why I think he is not. Because
1) Tommy is not a complete fighter,
2) he is not a smart fighter and
3) he is chinny.

All of these combined separate him from all time elites IMO because these leave him without a plan B.
