There is not an ATG in 130-147 that would have an easy time with Floyd.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

1.Sugar ray Leonard would beat Floyd and very easy too.The man's movement there is none better.

2.Aaron The Hawk Pryor I don't think would have had a hard time with Floyd(I know the name of the thread) because I think Floyd is alot tougher then he get's credit for.But this Match is a great one.It reminds me of Pac vs Floyd for some reason.

3.Tommy The Hitman Hearns I say stops Floyd in 4 to 5 rds.

I disagree on all 3 points.

Name a boxer with the skills like Floyd has that Leonard beat easily.

He tears Pryor a new one. Hes just too aggressive for his won good. Floyd would turn his lights out.

Hearns does not stop Floyd in now way shape, form or fashion. Hearns would be favored but Floyd can win a decision against him. And Hearns is my ALL TIME FAVE...he has bad stamina and bad beard.

If Hearns landed his right hand on Floyd like Mosley did the fight would have been over. How could Floyd win a decision? He cant outbox Hearns because Hearns was an excellent boxer with a great jab and was just much bigger and stronger than Floyd. If Floyd tried to stand in the pocket against one of if not the hardest hitting WW in history. In a 12rd fight Hearns stamina wouldnt play a factor and Floyd doesnt hit hard enough to check Hearns beard. I am in no way knocking Floyd, but at some point size is going to play a factor when matching him up against these much larger WWs of years ago.

As you know Ima Detroit guy and Tommy is Favorite of all time. I cant see him beating a guy as smart as Mayweather.

Tommys best weapon is a right hand. A punch Floyd is RARELY hit with due to his shoulder roll defense. Floyds foot speed and reflexes allow him to get inside Tommys Reach and makes Tommy fight a fight he doesnt want to fight. INSIDE GAME.

Floyd is light years ahead of the Hitman on the inside. I see Floyd deflecting shots and hitting Tommy with crisp , clean punches. Tommys chin was also his downfall and Floyd has the kind of speed and accuracy to land some good wins on Tommys chin. Punches that he wont see coming. Floyds counter punching would be down right deadly vs. Hearns.

Tommys jab will pose problems until Floyd starts to time it with laser .....and I do mean LASER right hands over the top. Tommy is too easy to hit and Floyd is the complete opposite.

People who are picking Tommy because hes tall and hit hard need to go watch more boxing. Go watch some more Hearns tapes as well. He hates MOVEMENT.

People need to stop acting like Floyd is some bum. He would give Hearns hell.

His Daddy's who style is he using?Leonard had a easy fight with his dad.No?Leonard was a beast who would be landing and moving so much Floyd would not know what to do with him self.That's when he will have to become aggressive and get pick apart by a prime Sugar.


He tears Pryor a new one. Hes just too aggressive for his won good. Floyd would turn his lights out.Pryor is aggressive.But he is also skilled I did not say Floyd would lose this fight I only put it there because it would be a great fight.Reminds me of May Pac.

Hearns does not stop Floyd in now way shape, form or fashion. Hearns would be favored but Floyd can win a decision against him. And Hearns is my ALL TIME FAVE...he has bad stamina and bad beard.

I'm sorry I just see Hearns Stopping Floyd.Oh and I don't believe Floyd can hurt Hearns.

If you say so brother. I been telling people his power is underrated. He hurt Shane a few times.

That he did but did not try to finish him for fear of being hit.Which is something fighters like Hearns Leonard and Pryor were not afraid to do.

Ive seen plenty of Hearns tapes and I know Floyd is an all time great talent, but you make seem Hearns sound almost clumsy and that is nowhere near the truth. Hearns was beating SRL by boxing and working behind the jab. Yes I do believe that the bigger, taller, stronger guy with a devastating jab and murderous right hand pose more than small problems for a fighter who is 3 weight classes above where he started his career. Floyds defense is great and all, but the huge difference and height and reach mean Floyds going to have to risk getting inside on Hearns which means walking through his punches and it doesnt happen.

He does not tear Pryor a new one and he definitely doesn't stop him. Pryor took 14 rounds of Arguello and knocked him out, Floyd doesn't do sh** to hurt him.

Hearns could easily stop Floyd. Floyd is not, nor has he EVER, been a brawler, and that's the only way Hearns would be or ever was beaten at 147 or 154. Floyd doesn't bull his way inside, he tries to outbox his opponents and a Hearns would easily beat him at that with his ridiculous jab. That right hand definitely lands as well. The bad chin is a very overstated opinion, he was knocked out by Leonard, Hagler, and Iran Barkley, and Hagler and Barkley were above his best weight classes.

Come on, chill out a little. Floyd is an ATG, of course, but he doesn't dominate these types of fighters.

Please. Shane was dead on his feet yet Floyd never once came close to putting him down.
