I noticed alot of Floyd fans like to bring up Mosley being out boxed by Winky,Forrest & Cotto!!So my question is,"do ya'll bring those up as if it's a forgone conclusion that Floyd could beat these guys"??Because I believe it is NOT a fact that Floyd could beat any off them!!I would also like to know why Floyd is supposed to be on a higher level than most of the current top 10 welterweights??See my thing is,he hasn't beaten any of them & Mosley has fought & beaten more elite welterweights than Floyd ever has!!So why do U all rank Floyd on a higher level than these fighters,career welterweights or otherwise??

shane has beaten 2 good WW's, and that's oscar and margarito (who cheated his way to the top). stop blowing his resume outta proportion.Originally posted by cruzan mario View Post
floyd is fighting shane mosley now, and vice-versa.
it doesn't matter who we think would be who, outta the guys that they fought.
stick to the subject.
shane lost to forrest, wright, and cotto. that's a fact, tho. -
the topic: Ali vs Floyd
Floyd stan's take: shiiiit, Ali got outboxed by Larry Holmes....Floyd's 100x better than Larry Holmes...therefore Floyd >>>> Ali AND HolmesComment

Cotto YES. 140lbs 147lbs pre-Margarito post-Margarito. It doesn't matter. Cotto does not bring nor has he ever brought anything to the table to bother Floyd. It would be a clear 118-110 117-111 type win for Floyd.
Vernon Forrest at welterweight WOULD have been a challenge for Floyd but it's a fight that never would have happened. Vernon was never a name... not even a somewhat recognizable name. No one but die hards knew who he was.
Forrest's jab and range would have troubled Floyd, but I still give him the edge particularly late as his Forrests wrestling tactis would not work well with a vastly superior inside fighter like Floyd. Floyd would win a close tough decision, but I wouldn't have been shocked if he lost this one.
Winky Wright is an ugly fight that again would have been challenging for Floyd. Winky does not use his power and size well, so I don't think Floyd would have had as much to fear as he would against a Forrest. I like Floyd in this fight as well, even at 154lbs in an absolute STINK fest. This is a fight I'm glad never came off.
Vernon Forrest more so than any other welterweight had the biggest chance of beating Floyd. I don't see any other welterweight or any fight PERIOD in boxing below 147lbs that has a chance of beating Floyd outside of a lucky punch -- Pacquiao included.Comment

Floyd is a faster, slicker, and more skilled, albeit less powerful version of Ali.Originally posted by Makavelli View PostComment

your thoughts.Comment

It's a valid comparison to make. Shane has never been out-fought so to speak. His losses show him getting outboxed. Since Floyd is a pure boxer through and through, and the best around today, there's a good chance Mosley fails to get to him and drops a decision over 12.
In answer to your question, I think Floyd vs Winky/Forrest would be very competitive. Floyd is better than those guys P4P but they have a size advantage. Floyd boxes the ears off Cotto.Comment

Kind of a dumb thread.....for starters Floyd started his career much smaller than Forrest and Winky and neither of those guys were at WW when Floyd moved up. In fact I dont think Winky ever was......second of all when FLoyd wanted to fight Cotto, Cottos team wasnt ready for the fight.Originally posted by cruzan mario View Post
Floyd is supposed to be on a higher level than most of the top WW because he has proven himself being one of the top fighters in the sport, most of his body of work was at lower weight classes, but when he has fought at WW and even Jr Middle he has done so VERY EFFECTIVELY. I def agree that he could have and should have fought better guys at WW(hopefully he is starting to) but only a biased idiot would say he doesnt belong there.
My question is, what has Floyd done that makes you think he DOESNT belong there? He talked too much for you and now you dont like him?Comment
