      agreed. they're also big [massive, in hearns case] WW with speed who could really punch.


      there are other great WW, certainly, but i don't pick them to knock floyd mayweather out the way i pick those three to do so. i'd pick many of them to lose.

        And what have you proved? Nothing! All you've done is make gratuitous assertions that logically may be equally gratuitously denied.

          Hearns would beat him. I have no doubts about that.

                Closed systems like boxing aren't nature. In nature, evolution takes place over hundreds of thousands of years not a few short decades. Human beings as biological en****** aren't any superior to humans of 50 years ago.....or a hundred. Boxing is a very narrow, closed system where knowledge peaked out quite a long time ago. There isn't anything new to learn that isn't already known. That's the nature of closed systems. If anything, there needs to be a relearning of things that have been lost over the past 20 or so years. So Floyd has learned from Joe Walcott? So what? So did Ray Leonard. Neither Ray nor Floyd improved on what they learned from Walcott. They simply copied it and modified it to best fit their natural abilities. And that's what ALL fighters do: Adapt what they learn to what best works for them as an individual. That doesn't make it superior, that just makes it unique to their unique needs.
                I am going to have to further disagree with you if you are saying knowledge is peaked to the point where nothing else can be learned. I feel like there's always something to be learned. There's just too many elements in boxing for there to be no room for knowledge. Sure evolution (if we are talking about monkey's to human) would take thousands of years. But in a 200 year old sport (in terms of prizefighting), just judging from the way fighters fought back then to now, I'd say fighters definitely evolved from 50 years ago. Back in the ancient Greek times, it just started off as 2 guys punching each other in the face. Now we see things like technique, angles, the discipline, the ring IQ's, what they put in their bodies (Basically the sweet science). As long as there are more things to be learned about the human body (which there is), fighters will continue to change. Trust me, boxing is evolving. Maybe at a slower pace now because a lot of the main things are already known.

                  If they cant land which is a big chance they all lose /

                  And Chavez Snr would be schooled by Floyd .

                    I can't think of a fighter that would, without a doubt beat Floyd anymore.

                    The guys upper body movement, spacing, and counter punching leaves me to believe that every fighter in the history of boxing fights his fight, and he ends up with a SD at worst with every fighter in his weight category.

                    The only guy I think could potentially beat Floyd is, Tommy Hearns.

                    I just witnessed 36 year old man, look better than I've ever seen him, going up against a guy that outweighed him by 15 lbs. and way younger, and hungry. Also, Canelo is no slouch by any stretch of the imagination.

                    Discuss.
                    Don't think anyone should take any of your posts seriously anymore. You spend the months prior to Garcia/Matthysse on Team Matthysse and trashing Garcia every chance you can get. Then on one post to cover your tracks you say that you were just trolling the whole time and that it will be a 60/40 fight. And now you are Team Garcia with the avatar.

                    Stop being a bandwagon groupie.

                      Still Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns because he actually makes Floyd change how he is comfortable fighting. Floyd can't outbox TH so he would have to do what he did against Zab, pressure, deflect, and stalk him. He'd lose rounds trying to get to him and I am not sure he has the pop to take him out.
