Robinson can beat PBF by decision, but not by KO or TKO.

Watch the film bro.. Mosley and Robinson fight exactly alike. Same stance,
pawing jab into over rights or lead lefts. Foot work identical, the list goes on.
It's incredible how much they relate with their styles.. watch any Ray Rob fight onYoutube right now and you will be blown away at how much they resemble.
ANd I'm sure everyone in the WORLD will Agree Zab Judah has the Skill set and tools to be one of if not the best in the world.. but he's lacking so many other important things.. like the mentality.Comment

Floyd has the reflexes and the speed to pot shot tommy...he has the timing and reflexes to time his jab.When you're 6'1", with a hideous reach advantage, lightning speed, one punch KO power and incredible boxing skills outside and inside, you don't necessarily have to outsmart your opponent. He's got every available physical advantage plus he's quicker, in my opinion, than Mayweather is at WW (if not quicker, easily as fast). You also might not think that he couldn't land the right hand, but he was sure able to on Leonard, as well as Benitez and Duran, two of the slickest and hardest fighters ever to hit flush.
Hearns couldn't fight on the inside? That's news to me.
Anyway, what makes you think Floyd had the range, and speed to pot-shot Hearns? If Floyd tries a pot-shot fight then he's on the outside getting hammered with that jab all night.
On the inside, Hearns left hook is quick and brutal, but, say Hearns doesn't win on the inside...How does Mayweather get inside on Hearns all night to win? He's not exactly an aggressive fighter who likes to get inside.
You think Hearns win, I think Floyd wins.
Neither of us right because its all speculation.Comment

So essentially you see Mayweather fighting as the aggressor against Hearns? I'm not so sure if it's a very good idea to leave yourself more open against a puncher like Hearns. And Floyd does get hit while he's pressuring.
On the other hand if he were to fight defensively, Hearns would just jab him and outpoint him as he did against Wilfred Benitez.

Bad style match up for Mayweather all around.When you're 6'1", with a hideous reach advantage, lightning speed, one punch KO power and incredible boxing skills outside and inside, you don't necessarily have to outsmart your opponent.

See that's what's funny. How was Leonard able to stop Hearns? The first six rounds he used movement and the jab to belly. I also don't recall a fight where Hearns fought in the pocket. When Leonard had him hurt he did not know how to clinch or hold on. Not to sure is Hearns was all that fast either
I think Floyd would use a similar strategy and make him miss a lot, then counter.
On a side note, kudos to all the posters in this thread. Threads like this are few and far in between these days. No gayweather, chicken duck floyd, pak-yow,etc. Just boxing talk. Why the difference? Oh I know, the *******s haven't got out of bed yet.Comment

Resemblence from Shane mimicking his physical but it stops there.
Zab has the talent.. But his defensive skill set is lacking. His overall fottwork is lacking. Zab is pure talent no discipline. I put him with the Roy Jones and Shane Moslys of the world. The type that are capable of anything cuz of natural ability. TALENT
I put Floyd with the Hopkins and Toneys of the world. Skill sets
As far as old schoolers i feel they are just more complete and harder to compare then todays fighters.Comment
