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

[daggum]

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.

leonard would davey boy green his pretend welterweight ass.

[yeks]

Duran - his mauling style would give PBF fits. unlike hatton, he have the chin to back it up. and we all know PBF is no Hearns when it comes to punching power.
Mosley - 90's mosley at 140 is a beast.. too much power + speed.
Hearns - great jab followed by a great stinging straight. PBF's eyes would be swollen before the championship rounds.
JCC - Chin + stamina + one of the best body puncher in the sport.. relentless in every round
SRL - would potshot and snowboat for the easy UD..

of course we are talking here of the above fighters in their prime..

[MELLY-MEL...]

srr
srl
hearns
pea
duran

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

No. Leonard is bigger and longer, he throws a lot of fast combinations, plus he has the heart of a champion..

1. Leonard
2. Robinson
3. Mosley
4. De La Hoya (prime)

Jose Luis Castillo.....oh wait, he already did whoop Floyd

Amongst active fighters:

Shane Mosley
Manny Pacquiao
Miguel Cotto
Paul Williams
Vernon Forrest

[mickyward5656]

honestly i would say,

1) SRL
2) Cincy hawk pryor
3) Roberto Duran
4) hitman hearns
5) prime shane mosly even though i still think shane will beat him
6) prime de la hoya
7) Kostya Tsyu
8) cotto vs floyd is very very close, i think cotto will plain outwork him and break him down.

Duran at 135
Leonard
Hearns
Robinson
Prime Mosley at 147

[TheGreatA]

Sandy Saddler at 130 under 1950's officiating

Duran and Whitaker at 135

Pryor at 140

I believe those are Mayweather's prime weights. At 147 and over he would struggle against most greats.

According to Floyd Mayweather Whitaker and Pryor would be his toughest match-ups out of all the fighters he has seen.

it funny how you make these threads about floyd, but making one about anyone else would seem like a complete waste of time. Thats how big a impact floyd has on these forums.....

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.

You have to get over your hatred.

If his name were Floyd Morales or Floyd Martinez(and he was 10 shades lighter) YOU'D LOVE THE GUY..!!!!
