    Floyd doesn't have enough pop to keep Pryor off him IMO, no way does he hurt him
    The big shots would wear Floyd down.
    Yes, he has been in with pressure fighters before. You are underestimating floyd's power. Its funny but notice how every fighter notes how hard he hits after they face him? IMO, Floyd has a much better chance than manny because of his defense and counterpunching.

      the fight between Floyd and Pac is a pick'em fight IMO.....but with a gun to my head I would pick Floyd

      Paul Williams would get beat up by Pac and schooled by Floyd so please dont mention him....size ALONE dont win fights at this level

      Shane was a bomb or two away from snatchin' Floyds almighty "0" and I STILL think he beats Pac and does much much better against Floyd minus the layoff and back to back camps(my bias opinion )

      Sergio Martinez only loses to them if they fight below 154....from 154-160 I favor Sergio over EVERYBODY

      now this is where it gets really real....I think Devon Alexander has the style and skills to beat BOTH....yup, I honestly think the kid could make them look really old in a year or so....he'll need some big fight experience before then so Bradley and Khan would be perfect tune ups

      I've stated more than once that Floyd and Pac are SPECIAL fighters...hate them or love them, but you have to admit that they're a class above MANY in more ways than one....thats why its not easy to come up with names of fighters that could beat them TODAY....you have to go into the LEGENDS pool and find a ATG shark to bite these dudes

      now you see why they have to fight and why so many boxing fans are pissed the **** off right now.....its shame they wont get it on and dead the drama
      What weight? Duran and Hearns are not beating floyd at 147. Duran at 135 probably beats floyd. Sweet pea floyd uggh. Manny loses to all ONLY because he has average defense.

        Pryor v Pac would be an absolute war, one of the best matchups of all time
        I'm not underestimating Floyds power, I'm being realistic about Pryors chin
        Arguello is a far harder puncher than Floyd, and Pryor showed he could take a shot
        Floyd has a better chance than Manny, but I still think he loses.

          Naw Pryor's aggression would back fire big time. Floyd would light his ass up with counter shots. I think Floyd beats him up pretty bad.

            Sweet Pea vs Floyd is always going to be close
            At Lightweight I'd take Pernell on workrate.

              Floyd has never faced anyone like Pryor
              In real life, I doubt he'd even sign the contract tbh.

                Hearns chin wasn't that bad, it was one of his only weaknesses but it sure as hell wasn't bad enough to get KO'd by Floyd.

                Leonard took 13 rounds to do it and that was after fatigue had set in and Hearns usually struggled over the 15 rounds not a problem if it's a 12 rounder. Hagler and Barkley are hard hitting Middleweights and Barkley was fairly late into Hearns career.

                He was knocked down very late in his career at Cruiser, and of course against Hagler, Barkley and Leonard and was only stopped 3 times.

                  Pryor has never faced anyone like Floyd. Goes both ways.

                    I may be biased but I don't know if Arguello hits harder than floyd. Floyd's style makes people think he hits soft like Malignaggi but thats not the case.

                      I believe floyd hits harder than people think. Like i said to Travis my biases aside, notice after every floyd fight the opponents always mention they were surprised by his power. Floyd throws quick accurate hard punches. Tommy would get hit at some point.
