    People bash Floyd all the time but realistically the only 3 welterweights that can beat him at 147 for sure are Leonard Hearns and Robinson.

    Ain't nobody else beating Floyd.

    At WW, a lot of guys would have beat Floyd, going back at least to Barbados Joe Walcott.

      how can you even judge how good he is? in his prime he fought bums like baldomir, judah, and little hatton. past his prime he fought lil marquez, shot mosley, and some had him losing to maidana and old pac. the ultimate never tested fantasy fighter.

                Prime-for-prime, Hearns would have missed all of his winging punches, got gassed, then "Gatti'd" to a stoppage.

                  Hearns threw the best straight right down the pipe better than anyone. His jab was like a piston. He would have stopped Floyd like he did Duran and Cuevas. I don't understand what the winging punches are about.

                    Hearns was realistically to damn big for Floyd..the man ended up at Cruiserweight....lets not forget 147 was Floyds 4th division
