how would Floyd Mayweather of 2006/07 do against these fighters?

[GOD-FR33]

Good post.

Exactly what I was thinking. I agree totally. Check out my post as well.

point 1- I get not liking floyd but to say that a guy who we have only seen hit flush a few times is going to get knocked out is sorta reckless.

point 2 - You can't pick a fantasy fight where one guy is at his best and the other isn't, any way, at floyd's best he is a defensive wizard with cat like reflexes. Like him or not, he's not getting knocked out. He's 36 and guys can't hit him, so you expect me to believe when he's 25-30 somebody is going to just blow him away in 2 rounds..GTFOH..

point 3- Hearns didn't knock out Leonard, he's not knocking out floyd. Floyd would be moving. Truth said.

point 3- Sweet pea had great reflexes and head movement. If you watch floyd, he had great footwork, great reflexes, and great defense. .. and yes they are all different categorizes.

point 4- I'm not saying he would be undefeated but Call him what you want but with his combination of skills he would be hard to beat in any era, and not one guy would blow right thru him, not even the haters believe that. it doesn't matter if you agree with the truth.


C'mon give the guy an ounce of credit

Wow, someone that actually has common sense and is not letting blind hatred cloud their judgment......There is hope.

You sir are my hero.

He loses a close but clear decision to De la Hoya.

I've not seen enough of Hearns to make a call.

Sweet Pea would be a boring fight which could go either way.

Pacquiao would give him all he could handle, that's a 50/50 fight. It was because of Pacquiao that Floyd suddenly preached RANDOM TESTING - that's how amazing Pacquiao looked.

Floyd is a product of his time. A great boxer. And a pretty decent guy when you look into his eyes. But his glorified sparring session sent me to sleep.

In order for Mayweather to be considered an all-time great, he has to fight BRADLEY & PACQUIAO.

Let's get one thing straight. Floyd is a coward and insecure about his own talents. That is why his entourage is so large to begin with. He wouldn't step near a ring with any of these fighters. PERIOD. He loses to all of them. A prime Oscar was good at using his size and legs. He would have outpointed Floyd for a decision. Hearns is one of the strongest two fisted punchers in history, ala Felix Trinidad and would have murdered Floyd. Who do you think Floyd is? An all-time great? He is not. He is good at match-making. Whitaker is the true greatest defensive fighter of all-time and had a better jab, better legs, and you couldn't hit him with ANYTHING. Not a jab, not to the body. People calling Floyd the greatest defensive fighter in history are young and dumb! Floyd is susceptible to a good jab. He gives you his body. He was marked up by Cotto and Cotto wouldn't have touched Whitaker. I think we know who wins the Floyd/Pacquiao fight as well. If he thought he could win, with the amount of money at stake for that fight, Guess what? He would have taken the fight!!! He didn't because he knew his hands would've been full and that he could've have possibly lost. Floyd is over-rated and a product of the times. In another era, he'd have 3 or four losses facing the best. Defense can only get you so far against B-level competition. All of these fighters are extremely active and efficient for 12 rounds. One of Floyd's problem against ATG's would've been his low punch rate. Duran and probably Chavez beats him because of this as well. His chin is good BUT how good? If any of these fighters hit him for 12, could he take it like they could?

It's this kind of insight that makes me want to look at the forums on boxingscene.

he would take a vacation

Thanks man.

Thanks man. I call everything for what it is. I am not a fan boy or unrealistic fan. I am an honest and fair respecter of the sport.

Hearns by KO
contrary to popular belief, Pea/Floyd would be entertaining, I got Floyd by UD
He beats Oscar in a very competitive fight
Floyd UD 12 over Pac

[Eg714]

Floyd would beat all of them IMO.

I use to think that hearns, PAC, and Oscar would ko Floyd but he's just to smart for any of them. He would do what ever it takes to win.

Sweet pea would be his toughest fight but Floyd would take a descion no doubt.

[Alec900]

I have never seen Floyd lose a fantasy fight

[.Mexico.]

would not fight.
