BHOP VS FLOYD Jr
Collapse
-
I know you're a parody account but real thoughts on this: Punches get much harder and upper torso movement gets much slower in the heavier divisions. Floyd wouldn't be able to survive with his current shell-centric style.
He would have to adopt a more orthodox shoulder roll like Toney used. Or a smothering approach like Hopkins. Just shelling up in the corner doing matrix poses looks cool against welterweights but he would get killed against big guys.
Imagine a guy with Kovalev's power (KO's undefeated opponents with jabs to the body, knocks guys clean across the ring without their feet touching the ground) hitting Floyd flush as many times as Maidana did during the first fight. Instead of looking rattled for a couple rounds he would be out cold/pissing blood.
It was actually AMAZING how well Hopkins avoided being KO'd by Kovalev considering he mounted minimal offense and Kov was teeing off. Even the knockdown was an off-balance, top-of-the-head shot.Last edited by ////; 04-27-2015, 07:29 AM.Comment
