    Lara had the best chance of beating Floyd.

    IMO, Lara, not Khan, had the best chance of beating Floyd. Lara was one of the few fighters who could compete with Floyd in ring IQ, and was naturally bigger, taller, longer, fast, and a southpaw.

    I've been told that Floyd doesn't struggle with southpaws.

    He kind of does, though. Just about every fighter does, simply because they're not used to fighting southpaws.

      lara would have been no problem for floyd, too inactive with his punches.
      to beat floyd u need the longer reach + relentless pressure/punches and the only one who comes to my mind is/would have been paul "the punisher" williams

Not to mention it wasn't a particularly interesting fight considering how economical they were with their punches. Can you imagine how boring it would've been? They'd be lucky to throw 40 punches a round COMBINED. Nobody really wanted to see that.

        Also nobody thought Khan would've been much of a problem for Floyd.

        First led returns and now you. Can you guys get the beef going again m. Highly entertaining. Hope all is good.

          I’m the biggest Floyd fan but I’m also the biggest Lara fan, Lara would have given Floyd hell at 154 IMO.

          Floyd sucks above 147 to me doe. Well he doesn’t “suck” but nowhere near his prime.

              Lara was one trick pony at his prime. He was good at his own game but one dimensional. Low output, zero skills at inside, zero pressure, mediocre punch power and chin etc.. Floyd would beat him by smart pressure like he did against Judah.

                He'd never hurt Floyd, would be too slow, and too inactive. It would be a snoozefest 120-108 win for Floyd.
