Young Delahoya which many thought he won Floyd fought a wash up Delahoya which some thought he lost but he barley sleeked by a wash up Delahoya

Its apples and oranges, you have the Roy's and Pernell's that could do things all wrong if they wanted and you still couldn't lay a glove on them, and then you have the Nards, and Floyds that do things text book perfect.
Is one really better than the other? If you can't hit a guy you cant hit a guy.

Floyd...
Both great but pernell would let his ego get the best of him and would get sloppy and stand and trade sometimes... Floyd never gets sloppy, much more disciplined

More so Riveria and Hurtado than McGirt.
Of course, it's unlikely that Mayweather would get hit much at all by Buddy McGirt, but McGirt was actually a top fighter at the time so for arguments sake lets focus on the guys that weren't.
