Given Floyd’s high boxing IQ - I think we can all agree, he would adapt and beat any top 5 WW out there

[Pretty Boy32]

He’s the greatest of our generation. His ability to adapt and boxing IQ would find a way to beat anyway

that’s a fact

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Anyone in history? Hell no.

Tommy Hearns knocks Mayweather out at 147.

SRL beats him too.

If Floyd was a natural welter or they were natural 130 pounders, I think he would beat any top 5

Between SRR & SRL who does Floyd have a better chance against hm

[El_Maldito_Rey]

SRL beats him
Duran beats him
Hearns decapitates him
Old De la Hoya got robbed, young DLH beats him rather easily
Tito Trinidad knocks him out cold

I think your right. If you payed attention to his fight with a OLD Delahoya He had some problems the first 3-4 rounds and at times got caught. I think Errol is similar and might give him some problems too. Speed, power & reach seem to give him problems.

[Carpe Diem]

He wouldn’t be able to lay a glove on, Terence “TBE” Crawford.


Ok, I’ll stop.

Floyd’s as technically skilled as any fighter ever.

Hard to compare SRR because there ain’t that much footage of him below Middleweight, you’re going more off of what you’ve read rather than what you’ve seen.

I don’t see Floyd beating Leonard. I think it would be competitive but I just think Leonard has far more tools offensively. He’s a naturally bigger guy too. Floyd’s ceiling was around 147 weight wise, whereas SRL didn’t look out of place up at Middleweight.

Floyd figured Oscar out, he took the left hand away from him.

Floyd figured Oscar out, he took the left hand away from him.

Floyd's jabs took away Oscar's jab.

Oscar got outjabbed

Floyd did 1000 different jabs to confuse Oscar: stab downstairs, flicker, etc.

It was so subtle even Oscar didn't know why he stopped jabbing.

People didn't notice how Floyd neutralized Oscar's jab. It isn't obvious unlike a right hand over the top.

Floyd-Oscar was a modern day chess match that can be appreciated by purists.

Floyd clearly won, but Oscar took rounds: 2, 4, 6, and arguably the 12th & final round.

Floyd swept Oscar from 7 to 11.

[TheIronMike]

I don't think Floyd tops Leonard, he would win some rounds, but Leonard is literally in his own statosphere in regards to speed, skill, and ring savy at 147.
