Originally posted by SekondzOut View PostSweet Pea, Ray Leonard, Hearns and Duran beats BOTH of them IMO
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

Originally posted by Big Dunn View PostYes, 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.
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.

You are certain Floyd could handle the pressure?
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.

Originally posted by Big Dunn View PostWhat 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.
At Lightweight I'd take Pernell on workrate.

Originally posted by Big Dunn View PostI pick floyd becasuse his power is underrated and Hearns chin is the worst I've seen in a truly great 1st ballot HOF. If Hearns lands a shot like Mosley did then floyd may go sleepy. But in their primes I'm taking 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.
