the only past great to beat Floyd would be?

[larryx]

Your nuts! No way Floyd beats SRL he is way faster, more skilled, hit harder, fought better guys, and alltogether a much better fighter.

Pryor and Duran would take his sole. No way he can handle the pressure from thoes greats.

Him and Sweet Pea is a toss up, anybodys fight.

I agree Hearns kills him.

Also imo, currently Mosley, Cotto, and Williams all beat him. Theres a reason he will not fight a quality welterweight, he may say theres not enough money in them, but he can't lie to himself....

wow..so now anyone can beat floyd right..this is ****ing disgraceful

just saying just becuase its an old school fighter doesnt mean they wn..floyd has never lost so you cant say so and so automatically beats him

I never said just because they were old school they would win. Just because Floyd is undefeated doesn't mean he would win. But the fact is all the guys that have been mentioned (Hearns, Leonard, Duran etc.) have fought other prime all time greats with success, where as Floyd hasn't. Mayweather has never seen a fighter like any of those 3, yet they've all faced one another and are considered legends. Then you take into consideration their styles, how they fought at 147, and how Floyd fought plus who he fought at 147. This isn't farfetched at all if you're objective. And when it comes to Floyd....you clearly are not.

Lmao at you!! How do you suppose he beats them considering he's never fought anybody remotely close to the caliber of either of these guys?

[MELLY-MEL...]

hearns, srl, srr, duran, pep, whitaker, all COULD beat floyd.

How are they not great to you, but Floyd is, when they beat better fighters than Floyd did?

Floyd has the ability to beat all the other ATG's in his weight.

Fighting harder opponents brings out the best in fighters like Floyd and i seriously believe his ring intelligence helps him beat many other ATG's.

Hmmmm, very interesting that you claim Pryor wasn't on level of Leonard or Hearns.

Maybe he didn't achieve as much as they did in terms of legacy, but when they were all in their prime i think Pryor was on the level of both fighters . But what people forget is Pryor was never defeated in his prime.

Was the number #1 lighweight contender but the was avoided so moved up to the Lw division, were he stopped hall of famer Antonio Cervantes in 4 for the WBA title, and would go on to make 8 title defecnes and in those defences stopped the great Alexis Arguello x2 and then would go on to win the IBF title and make a defence.

In my mind he was also avoided my Ray Lenoard, people even say Ray moved up a weight class to avoided Pryor in the amature's. And also he would never accept the challage of Pryor.

It just such a shame that drugs got hold of Aaron Pryor, because i belive The Hawk could of been up there with the likes of Leanord, Armsrotng, Greb, Robinson etc if drugs had not got hold of him.

He also beat Thomas Hearns in the Golden Glove final(Amature), and i think he could of beat Tommy in his prime in the pro ranks.

Your avater shows a Ring Magzine cover, the same Ring Magzine that done a list The 80 Best Fighters of the Last 80 Years in 2003 - in which they ranked Aaron Pryor number #35 and Thomas Hearns number #67. 32 Places, so Ring also think Pryor had a better legacy.

So to say Pryor was not on the level of Hearns and Leonard in his prime is a pretty silly comment.

I rate pryor very highly, got a dvd of his **** right in front of me, I never seen a fighter with so little respect for another fighters power. He's a world class boxer too and didnt have to take some of the shots he did (especially from arguello), but he just didnt give a ****, as i said before, forget the pressure castillo and hatton put on floyd, pryor would take that to a whole new level, with a better chin and far better skills than both those guys. Would be a sick fight.
