Is Floyd About Level In Skill w/ SRR/SRL/Duran/Benitez

[GrandpaBernard]

Floyd is more skilled than Sugar Ray Robinson. Robinson was a 5'11 welterweight with a granite chin, speed and power on both hands. That's what made him so dominant, not his skill level imo.

He's level with the other guys imo though.

Only in defense

Only in defense

In defense Floyd isn’t level with those guys

Floyd is outright better than them in defense

[GrandpaBernard]

Here’s the intangible these older era guys have. They were certified 15-round fighters

Its the mindset. Floyd would run before he got hit with a punch.

If these other guys could run as well as Floyd, they could
have run and shoot their way to victory

Partially that. He was also very skilled obviously, but I don't watch him and get blown away at his skill level. I'm blown away by his physical gifts.

Duran impresses me with his skill level although he did lose to Benetiz.

That's only a miniscule part of it. Floyd probably had the most versatile defense in boxing history.

Just explain why you think prime Floyd's offense is better than prime Srl's defense.

Or stfu.

Oh so you understand now you dummy

What needs explaining? At 130 Floyd was obviously a good offensive fighter, had every punch in the book, speed, power, timing, accuracy etc

Leonard whilst defensively sound was never a defensive wizard. Had obvious holes there at times.

That’s why I think that. It’s certainly up for debate.
