So is Victor Floyd's biggest threat to date?

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

The version of De La Hoya that Floyd fought beats most fighters at 147-160 right now.

I can agree with that.

Not 147. De La Hoya would have been weight drained.

I agree with possibly beating a lot fighters at 154-160, i'd have very few to beat him. I'd favor Martinez, Williams, and Taylor over him.

I would say Sturm but he's not the same fighter who seemingly beat DLH prior to the DLH-Hopkins fight.

i don't even think ortiz will be able to give floyd problems the way castillo did.

floyd was much younger then. thats the only reason castillo gave him problems.

Now THAT fight was a robbery. Thats why the liver punch landed from Hopkins. Karma.

That's true. But if he fought the WWs at a weight he's comfortable at, he'd probably beat them. Then I'd pick him over Mosley, Berto, Clottey, Ortiz, Jones, Solomon, Brook, etc.

oh really? why don't you try applying that same logic to ortiz now?

I can agree with Martinez beating that version of De la Hoya but Williams **** no. What is folks fascination with Williams? Dude is 6'2" and fights like he is 5'2" with no defense. If you mean Jermain Taylor I have to say no to that as well. Taylor just don't have what it takes. I am not even a De la Hoya fan at all.

Not at all Flicker bruh. Vic is not as talented as Zab was. But he is very talented, and younger, biger, and possibly stronger, not to mention a southpaw with a good jab. I dont think this is gonna be a easy fight for Floyd at all, and we might even see vic get a KD against him. I still think Floyd wins this fight. But I'm seeing something comparable to Floyd vs. JLC. I hope I'm wrong and Floyd dominates but by no means is this gonna be a walk in the park, and Floyd knows it.

Zab wasn't a walk in the park either. Until the later rounds when Floyd systematically broke him down.

The only thing that concerns me is if Floyd uses the wrong game plan. If he is stationary like against Mosley, he might struggle. If he fights aggressive but smart, I see Vic fading late and getting owned when it happens.

Oh I agree, Zab wasnt a walk in the park at first. And was faster than Floyd as well. I dont think that Floyd will choose to walk Vic down(not at first), I think Floyd is gonna capitolize off of Vic's mistakes early and often. But Vic has a new found determination, and could give Floyd some serious problems early. I see Floyd's left hook, and straight right being a big problem for Vic. And the stabs to the body might have Vic leaning in and giving up his slight height advantage. IDK bruh. I'm really excited for this fight. Too bad I wont be able to see it.

floyd has everything to lose here, everyone expects otriz to lose, of course I would like to see him win, but Ortiz has everything to gain
