    No. Floyd has all those fundamentals Wlad does, along with tremendous athleticism and a much better all around game. P4P Floyd embarrasses Wlad.

      Not on Floyd's level but he's great.

      But they're not 1 and 2 for left hooks....don't know what would make you say that.

      Right hands....DEFINITELY
      Jab....Arguably, but only because of Floyd's reluctance to use it.

      Left hooks....neither are in the top 2....though Floyd has a very good left hook.

        He has a similar offensive arsenal as Floyd. However, when it comes to defense, stamina, and chin Mayweather is clearly better.

          Wlad does not have the flashy defense of Floyd, but give me another heavy who was as hard to hit as wlad of last 4 years? People forget that all but one or two of Wlad's adversaries had their power punches landed on him in single digits.

            Wlad's stamina is also in the level, the guy averages 30-40 punches per round from 1 to 12 and keeps his power through every second of every round. Wlad steadily proved that he is a 12 round fighter, and if need to, could fight 15 rounds. Listen to his post fight interviews, the guy sounds like he was playing golf and not fighting. And the guy is 6.7 for ****s sake.

              Floyd has superior timing and speed. Wlad has more power. You can tell Wlad has less timing ability by the way he overuses that left hand for his rangefinder..

              I think Wlad has a better lead left hook.

                Its hard to compare skills because obviously the smaller man is able to throw combos and move more effectively than the big man, but Wlad is definitely a great fighter. I think people severely underrate Wladimir most of the time on these forums. He would be a huge threat to anyone in the history of the sport except maybe George Foreman.

                  Hooking off the jab Wlad is the best currently and off top all-time Im having trouble thinking of anyone better.

                    You never seen Wlad hook off his jab??

                    You never seen Floyds leaping left hook?
