Does floyd have the best skill set of all time?

[Pacquiao'd]

Go watch RJJ when he was in his prime and tell me if you think PBF's "timing" will give him the edge against that kind of speed. And that isn't just speed, Roy had power in those punches. Like I said, one left hook and PBF is kissing the canvas.

i have and i dont think athletic ability beats floyd. you have to beat floyd with your mind

cotto and marg...bwahaha

I'm glad you're amused. Go watch the video where PBF said something along of the lines of "We're not fighting to see who the best is" in regards to fighting Margs.

He's the best boxer iv'e seen. Some people say maybe Pernell could beat him but I disagree, I know he was past prime but Trinidad nailed him with straight right hands. And Floyd is quicker and puts his punches together better than Tito. It would have been a really interesting fight though, Both guys have a very hard style to beat.

I wouldn't use the Tito fight to measure up on anything. Pernell was well past his prime, and got into some really bad habits; *******.

BS. Zab was taxing his ass in the beginning of their fight. And that's Zab Judah. Now imagine the beginning of PBF's fight against Zab but multiply Zab times 3. Oh and throw in the fact that Roy isn't going to fade in the latter half of the fight.

And no you don't beat PBF with your mind. In fact, that's probably the dumbest thing you can do against him. PBF is one of the most cerebral boxers in history. Trying to beat him in a game of chess in the ring is like being check mated before the opening bell.

cotto wanted no parts of floyd at 140 and 47. if he did, he would have called floyd out.

and margs career and where he ended up could be due to loaded gloves. skill wise, theres nothing impressive about marg.

so again, bwahaha

Yeah I guess so. He didnt look like himself in that fight. If you compare the way he fought De La Hoya to the way he fought Tito, It's like a totally different guy.

zab "faded" b/c floyd adjusted, zab started getting frustrated and floyd was taxing his ass. hence zabs low blow

zab didnt just "fade," as you so kindly put it

and if you cant beat floyd with your mind, you cant beat him. brains>>>>brawn

lol, I would hope so. That's like saying George Foreman would knock Oscar De La Hoya out cold.


On Topic: If Floyd had carried his power from 130 to 154. Then it wouldn't even be debateable. He would be fucking flawless.

Floyd has the skill set to beat and/or compete with anyone all eras, though. Only skill set I find reasonable to compare is SRR's. That's it.

Way to ignore the facts and make up left field presumptions.

Zab fades. Every boxing fan knows this, and I'm surprised you don't. Zab is notorious for being a fast starter and gets progressively worse as the fight wears on.
