          The 78' reach and the powerful jab always made me think this guy would be all wrong for Floyd.

            Out of Hearns, Leonard, and Duran I think Hearns reach, piston like jab, and right hand would've given Floyd the most trouble. I think Pryor would've given Floyd a hell of a fight at 135.

                LOL. I responded to your post. I was happy Kareem finally got the respect he deserved. Frankly, he should probably be #1.

                But Lebron at #3 and Curry and Paul at 23 and 34 was just ****ing crazy. I mean I love Curry, the wife and kids watch with me and we all go crazy. He is must see TV no doubt. best shooter I've ever seen.

                But better than Isiah Thomas.

                I hate ESPN!!!

That is because until colour they weren't able to capture the technique/skills exhibited in the bout properly. Something to do with frequency but back in the 30s they moved around the ring like they were on ice.

                    No one can really explain this phenomenon but it's correct and if you disagree, you don't know shit about boxing.
                    You think Mayweather beats Tommy Hearns, D-Mize?

                      I don't think a ww floyd would have enough power to keep hearns honest...it's not the jab that floyd would need to worry about. You're making the assumption that floyd would limit hearns output like he did to most other fighters...i think floyd would be forced to fight more than he was comfortable with if he wanted to win a decision.
