i don't care what people on here say---floyd's defense was the much more effective defense and he fought much better off of the ropes especially when it came to countering off of them---i can't expect anything less from people on here who try to diminish everything floyd does---now even his fighting style when in hindsight---floyd was much more fluent with his movement around the ring---pea avoidied punches well---in saying this---floyd would dust pea--without a shadow of a doubt---floyd's shoulder roll blocking made him much more precise with his counterpunching which is why his defense is better than pea's was....floyd could fight you in the pocket and counter off of his block---that is very rare in boxing nowadays...i give pea his proper due---his defense as far as his upperbody movement was spectacular---but floyd had the better defense overall because he didn't just rely on dipping and dodging punches---he rolled off of them, countered off of them, used the rope very well to throw his opponents off and then blast them---his defense was much more complex while pea's defense was just flashier---floyd is the better skilled fighter by far and would dust pea if they fought---his offense is more complex also because how accurate he is/was...he knew how to place punches very well and still does---so pea could look flashy against guys who threw sloppy punches or straight ahead punches, but fighting floyd---arguably the sharpest puncher of the last 4 or 5 decades, he would get caught a lot...and pea did get caught a lot...floyd would beat that boy---deal with it...
I like some of your points, alot of which I agree with and stand by. But I don't think Floyd would necessarily "dust" sweet pea. I think it'd be competitive. It'd be a hell of a fight, of which I probably would give Floyd the slight edge
