    Judah, Mosley, Chavez. Floyd can when he needs to. That versatility is key to his success.

      That's why I want to see him fight Lara at 154. See how how he deals with Lara's movement. Whitaker fought Hurtado and it bought out the dog in him and saw how he would react when he was desperate and down on the cards, needing a KO to win.

        He's done it against corpses like Mosley because he wasn't moving, same with gatti, but I don't recall him hunting down a mover.

          He began to fully press Judah after a few rounds and it was nice to watch, he totally dominated and laded some beautiful shots.

            Mayweather was the aggressor against Corley and Mitchell

              Mitchell did, too.

                The opponent needs great handspeed to do it as they'll always get beaten to the punch if they haven't got it. I'd actually like to see Floyd go hunt down a fast in-and-out fighter at this stage of his career. It would be an interesting watch.

                  [QUOT REED™;14980298]Depends on who the fighter is.

                  I like McGirts advice to tarver when he fought Roy "Punch when he punch".[/QUOTE]

                  Only type of fighter who can get that off on a Roy/Floyd type is a long rangy guy with a good jab who can make them have to get inside.

                  Floyd can walk down most of this current crop of ww's after potshotting them from the outside for a couple of rounds, but where are the long rangy natural ww's like hearns

                      Floyd was usually the aggressor when he fought in the lower weight classes, but I would say Judah probably had the most success, for however long it lasted, at forcing floyd to be the aggressor.
