The Ring Magazine: Ten fighters that would pwn Money Maiiii

[apokalips]

Prime Whitaker vs Prime Mayweather would be beautiful.

Floyd beats Oscar in their prime but it might be an ACTUAL SD as opposed to that gift Oscar got after being dominated.

Some of those guys are not only too big but so highly skilled that their size may be too much for Mayweather, as opposed to someone like P Will, who has the size but not the skill level of those guys to be as much of a worry to Floyd.

It was a nice article in Ring Magazine. Several fighters, including Joe Gans at 135, was omitted though.

I had a glance through the current issue of The Ring magazine today. (Though considering how often Pacquaio is on the cover they should change the name to The Ping... right, Ping Ping fans?)

Anyway, they had an NSB-ish article in there today called "Ten Fighters That Would PWN Money Maiiii, lamo, PWN!"

I can't recall all ten - what's my name, Mr. ****ing Memory Man? - but here's a few:

Sugar Rays (Leonard and Robinson)
Aaron Pryor
Thomas Hearns
Oscar De La Hoya (prime: bear in mind he had a competitive fight with an OLD version of DLH)
Sweet Pea

pretty good list. I see it being a tossup for Pea and Robinson though. Robinson fights like Shane does now with his face open and throwing huge bombs, but he's taller but has a shorter reach than Shane. 50/50 fight for me, Floyd either Ud's him or Robinson sparks him cold.

Hearns KO's floyd at 147, bar non. He even could Ud him. Floyd isn't winning this because he won't take risks and he doesn't have the punching power to make his risks count. He sits back out of range the entire fight only landing body jabs.

Pryor at his best would just keep coming, his unorthodox style would throw off Floyds game. Hatton did this but to a lesser extent.

Pea would make it very hard for Floyd to land, but at the same time Floyd's pretty good at that to, only he's got quicker hands. The southpaw stance might screw things up for Floyd another tossup. At LW though, Floyds just the quicker of the 2.

Leonard: Leonard has everything, he'd catch Floyd like he caught Floyd Sr. Not to mention at his best he's got the Speed to match Floyd and better punching power. Counter punching war only Leonard is the harder puncher who can put combinations together. I see it being competitive.

Prime Oscar at 147 isn't as strong as the version Floyd fought, however prime Oscar was ****ing fast. Another close fight but I'd edge a decision for Oscar, who might hurt Floyd a few times but not stop him.

Floyd dominated Oscar?

Floyd dominated Oscar?

In brutal fashion, to the tune of an overwhelming and convincing.... Split decision!

... which was a gift, right?

I had it 7-5 Floyd, but it was far too competitive for Maiiiites to be saying it was domination or that he'd definitely beat a prime Oscar.

jose luis castillo already beat him

[*2TOUGH*]

anyone with a poor defense would lose to PBF...
