    Kendal Holt would of been more dangerous for PBF than JMM

    Kendal Holt would of been more dangerous for PBF than JMM, he is naturally bigger, he is imo one of, if not the quickest fighter around today, he is as good as JMM at bringing people onto counter punches, only Holt has much faster hands, better reflexes due to age, he probably hits harder than JMM to.

    When you think about it JMM at that stage of his career was not that great a win, not that Floyd is claiming it to be a great win but when you think of it like this it kinda puts into context for me.

    Yes, Holt can crack and has good skills. He is underrated because he has not looked great recently, Floyd in reality would probably ko him though.

          Timothy Bradley took 9 rounds from Kendall Holt.

          KH is fun to watch because can REALLY punch, and he gets hit alot. But he is not on Floyd's level. Or Marquez' level.

          He is just bigger than JMM>

            Since you said, "He probably hits harder then JMM", actually Holt hits harder then Manny Pacquiao also. The problem with Holt is that he doesn't get aggressive when the opponent is hurt. Watch Pacquiao vs. David Diaz and then watch Holt vs. David Diaz. Holt had Diaz's head spinning all over the place, Pacquiao couldn't do it like that and someone would have finished the job against Bradley. Don't be confused by his low K.O ratio, that's not due to power, just not being agressive enough.

              Another corrales just more easy target to hit, Just becuse you're tall doesnt mean you can beat someone like Floyd.

                I think Floyd might stop Holt, I think Marquez chin is much better even if Marquez is not that big naturally.

                  You are correct on all of those points but the TS was talking about the potential for danger against Floyd. I think there would have been nothing at all JMM could have done to win, now Holt would most likely be beaten badly too but it is not out of the question at least in my mind that Holt could hurt Floyd thus making the danger factor against Floyd greater with Holt as opposed to JMM.

                    Im not saying Holt would! beat Mayweather but he would put up a better competitive fight than JMM.


                    Corrales is a completely different fighter to Holt, Holt is the quintessential counter puncher where as Corrales is an aggressive guy that gives up his height.
