    5 fighters stylistically you would pick to beat Floyd past or present

    5 fighters stylistically you would pick to beat Floyd past or present.

    My list in that order.

    Whitaker
    Pryor
    Hearns
    Forrest
    Leonard




    Im a Floyd hater yes. Okay now we have got that out the way i thought it would be interesting to see what people think about which fighters would give him the most trouble.

    a few greats at 130-140.

    most good fighters at 147 and above.

    floyd ain't all that.

    his skills are great but who has he really fought to show them off?

    his career died at 135.

      A man i feel who could have represented the most danger stylistically in Floyd's active years is a prime Cory Spinks.

        The above would all give him trouble, but is he capable of beating them? Yes he is.

        You cant have these 'phantom matches' because you can never be 100% sure who'd win.

          floyd would school his mediocre ass.

          the only thing floyd would be in danger of in a fight with sorry cory is falling asleep.

            Out of the Fabulous 4, with the exception of Hagler, I think Hearns is the only fighter that would beat Floyd consistently.

            I would consider Leonard 50-50.

                I would give Whitaker a much better chance than Leonard and Leonard is my fav fighter ever.

                  man , the only one that floyd might give trouble is duran and i'm sure that he beats floyd.

                  leonard has the skills and speed to match floyd and he's bigger.

                  hearns and hagler are way too big for floyd.

                    I don't think so.

                    I think Floyd has a much better arsenal than Whitaker. Both wouldn't land a lot, but I think Floyd would edge it landing the harder more meaningful punches.

                    Leonard is a lot bigger, more aggressive, faster and a great combination puncher.
