the only past great to beat Floyd would be?

[Bushbaby]

Wow the only past great ww to beat floyd is Tommy Hearns!!This is amazing because everyone of those past fighters named,have fought and beating better opposition than floyd,EVER!!floyd never fought with anyone as good as Hagler,"above their weight!!floyd ducked every welterweight elite fighter before he retired!!I said it before,Mosley has a better resume than floyd,including his losses,to even compare really great ww's to floyd and say he could beat men that fought the best fighters is seriously nuts!!!!!!!!

Every talks about Castillo like it was yesterday.... He fought him like 5 years ago!

Floyds improved since the Castillo 1st fight hence why he beat him 2nd time round.

And all this fantasy match ups you can never really say who the winner will be. Come fight night a certain fighter may adapt to the others style and win.

This is all opinion.

The only?

If Jose Louis Castillo gave him hell over two fights I think it's safe to say Roberto Duran would be all up in that ass.

I could go own but threadstarter worships at Floyd's throne.

I would pick Hearns, Leonard, Duran, Whitaker, Benitez, Donald Curry, Marlon Starling and a prime DeLaHoya over Floyd at 147. He just doesn't punch enough at this weight to beat these recent greats in my opinion. Move him down in weight and pit him against other greats and the story changes.

There has been a few threads here and there about who could beat floyd and at what weight. But no one has picked or said anything that i have noticed about Tommy "hitman" Hearns.

In my opinion, that long hard jab and strong relentless punching of Hearns is the only 1 I would be surprised if Floyd beat. I cold see Floyd beating Whitaker, SRL, Duran, Pryor, and all the other greats of the last era around 147 lbs, but hearns I see him losing too if they were to fight.

What do yall think abot the Hitman Hearns?

At 135 Duran beats him
At 147 Hearns and Leonard beat him
At 140 Him and Pryor is tough


Going 1-1 against Castillo beating a washed up Oscar and needing help from Cortez to beat Hatton = nothing legendry.

He needed Cortez's help? What Cortez threw Ricky into the Ring post after the check hook?

Loved that check hook, man. I remember when Roy Jones whacked Ruiz with one in their bout and sent him about three feet across the ring.

It was Cortez cheating biased that caused Hatton to be so far behind he needed to just go for broke.

No he didn't. He won clearly, yes. But amateur? Get real.
