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

    Honestly I don't even know where to begin with this rubbish. There is no way....and I repeat no way Floyd will be able to roll that overhand right that Hearns throws. I get it, your gassed off of last Sat...but you really need to chill with alot of this garbage and overrating Floyd.
    I posted that in December......You didnt read the top.

    "This from another thread". This has nothing to do with Mosley.

    Tommy is my all time fave. I got the career set. Hes friends with my aunt I watched more of his fights prolly more then anyone on this forum. You are overrating Hearns and thats from a HARDCORE Hearns fan. His right hand is not "undodgeable".

      Im not sure where he hurt Shane but we have yet to see Floyds "underated" power, since hes not knocking out WW's....he doesnt throw combos and just doesnt have that killer instict to finish a fighter off

I think Floyd is a great, great fighter I predicted him to dominate Mosley in the fashion he did and I pick him to handily beat Pacquiao as well, but hes never faced a fighter with Hearns skill level let alone that Hearns is 6'1" with ATG power.
        Its not even the straight right but go back and watch how Hearns throw it. Its a looping overhand right that is impossible to roll with a shoulder roll defense. Tommy would set it up perfect and Floyd would never see it coming.

          Did you watch the fight?

          He hurt Shane on more then one occasion. He hurt him the worse to the body in Round 10. I seen the fight God knows how many times now. Shane was hurt alot in that fight. Floyds power is underrated liek I said. The punches you dont see coming HURT and Shane had no idea where Floyd was coming from.

            Like I said there is no way Floyd would be able to roll that with his defense. 6-1 fighter throwing a looping overhand right after a stiff jab. Emmanuel Steward said it best "no disrespect, but Floyd would never see that punch coming" and I agree 100% with manny. Hell I was thinking the same thing way b4 he said that.

              Power is something Floyd has sure but he doesnt use it in a powerful way....its nice that he has it, would be better if he actually used it proficiently and attempted to knock guys out and actually throw combos

              Plus shane was gassed the whole fight and at no point was Floyd close to putting him down

                Hearns has never been out-boxed at 147. Not only that but Floyd wouldn't have any answer for that long jab and overhand right. If it happened that fight wouldn't last 8-9 rounds (tops).

                Hearns wins 10 times outta 10

                Also Ray Robinson would stop Floyd at 147 too. I just watched a few highlights of an 18-19 year old Robinson and that guy was crazy good even as an amateur. IMO the is no way in hell Floyd is touching Ray at 147.


                Floyd would not have ****ed with Ray either how did I forget that.Just fighters from a different time.

                  Like yall are forgetting what gave Tommy so many problems with Leonard.


                  HANDSPEED!!!

                  He made Tommy think and play defense. Just like Floyd does. He makes fighters think. Tommy was troubled by that handspeed. He also cant fight goin backwards. Now Floyd have the power that SRL has naw. But he would not just stay outside he would have to use Tommy weakness against him.

                    Hell yea WW's back then were huge and menacing. I dont see how Floyd could have done anything to him....people here are saying Floyd has power but it wont do anything againt Hearns

                      I no longer take anything anyone says about Ray Robinson seriously anymore. WW footage doesnt even exist on him. Most only watched youtube highlights and never seen a real fight. Just people on NSB being sheep. Hes not the greatest fighter ever and hes not the best fighter ever. Thats just non sense.

                      He wanted no parts of the Extremely, quick and accurate Charlie Burley for good reason.
