Could Floyd Cut in Boxing's Past?

[D4thincarnation]

Mayweather is know for his defence but a couple of things have helped him being a top prize fighter that he would not benefited from in past.

Floyd's glove help him out so much with his defence. Grants gloves are much bigger that gloves of the past, especially around the wrist, making them ideal for his philly shell defence to catch punches on.

With 6oz horse hair gloves Floyd's defence would have a lot more holes in and his hands would not be as protected.

Lets face it Floyd is a boring boxer, and has stunk out arenas in the past. But because of his personality and antics outside the ring he has gotten his name out there and made a fan base for himself.

He would not have been able to do this without the modern media and the mass TV coverage we have today.

In the past he would not have been an attraction, an age when bravery, blood, heart and warrior spirit meant everything.

Plus with multiple belts and weight division Floyd has been able to cherry pick his way to numerous titles.

With the old original 8 division he would have been lucky to be 1 weight world champion.

What do you think?

Has Floyd been extremely lucky to fight in this age?

Difficult question, impossible to say what he'd be like in past eras because he didn't grow up in them. He'd be a totally different person if he did and more than likely a totally different fighter.

I didn't know the grant gloves were so different. I don't know if he would be as big a star in the past. Maybe not. With his dedication to boxing and hard training combined with his speed, timing, reactions and skills I believe he would be a champion in any era.

al haymon wasnt around back then so he def wouldnt have a 0. if he had balls to fight the best back then he would have multiple losses by KO. quack

Defence? Defense? Are you drunk or ******ed? Have you watched Floyd's entire career of fights? Obviously not since he's so "boring." So the "pillow" gloves are a detriment to Floyd's opponents if they both wear them yet a major advantage to Floyd??? So Floyd's defense centers around his gloves? Which is it? Are the pillow gloves an advantage or disadvantage?

[SlySlickSmooth]

Floyd be highly dangerous w/ 6 oz. gloves back in the day.

To say he doesn't have a chance at being a Featherweight or Lightweight world champion in any era is ridiculous.
