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

    It’s funny how the same people who regard Floyd as the best defensive fighter of all time disregard that fact when it comes to fantasy fights.

    Hearns come forward style is made for Floyd. He’d outbox him for 12 rounds no problem.

      I'm not going to search your posts.
      It would be easier to just take your word for it.

      We don't know how prime Mosley vs May would have went.
      To say Mosley would have ended May is one possible outcome.
      Another would be May ''survives'' and wins the rest of the rds.

      No one was calling Shane an old man after he demolished Margarito (or was Margarito a fraud ?).

      No one, imHO, was going to beat May under 160
      “prime Mosley” was since exposed as steroid user, his biggest wins where around that period. Floyd would have demanded testing if they had of been in contention in that very era.

      Floyd at 140 called out Mosley in 2005 and was prepared to move up to 147 to fight him. Mosley wanted none of it.

      I find it hilarious when some posters (not you) on here claim that Floyd “ducked” prime Mosley. It was complete opposite

        While I do feel this statement is accurate, for my money, Mosley's best win was against Margarito in 2009. He then gave Floyd some serious problems for the first three rounds of their fight.

        All that being said, prime for prime at WW, Floyd still beats him. In a 7-5 or 8-4 type UD.

        And speaking of 7-5 or 8-4 type UD's........sure is nice to see all the Floyd haters of full parade in here saying he got gifts against ODH and Maidana. Haha.

            You obviously don't know much about Hearns, who is far more than those short, short armed, flat footed, come forward fighters that Floyd loved to cherrypick at welterweight.

            Stick to Floyds era

              Size advantage more often than not didn't help you against pac, and that's how pac become 7 division champs. Floyd wasnt that good that he could be champ in another 2 or 3 divisions South of light middleweight

                H2H Floyd is one of the GOATS at WW, even though floyd never beat any ATG ww in their prime, so people take a leap of faith with floyd. Floydscresume at Ww isn't GoAT standard though

                    You favor Crawford based off what?
