Could Floyd really beat some of the great welterweights like...

[-EX-]

I think he could beat Duran if SRL beat him...

[realheavyhands]

no way in hell could floyd beat hearns hearns jab is sickiningly powerful and long and floyd combos suck ...corrales is nothing like hearns noone is like hearns and im not even a hearns fan

[Abe Attell]

he would crush all three...yea they all hit hard but you cant KO what you cant hit.....he would KO any of the three but he would surely beat the **** out of them...

All 3 are fast, so Floyd is going to have to deal with their speed as well.

Floyd got tagged by Corley so you have to readjust your thought..if that was a punch landed by Robinson or Hearns, Floyd would have been sleeping.

[Southpaw Stinger]

Floyd wouldn't dare to step into the ring with those guys let alone compete!

[BrooklynBomber]

Robinson would definately break Floyd down. His swarming offense with punches coming from all possible and sometimes impossible angles, his obviously sickening power and his blinding handspeed would break Floyd's defense down. And dont give me "Floyd cant be hit bull****" He was hit by Castillo and he was hit by Judah and both are not even tenth of what RObinson was. Floyd on the other hand, would just not be able to capitalise on his main offensive strength -- counterpunching. Robinson's workrate and speed would just be too much for Floyd.

floyd would compete with any fighter in the history of the game. he beats leonard and hearns, and gets knocked out against robinson. not to say he wouldnt compete with him well though

[elgaringo]

SRR is god!!!
No, but seriously, big LOL at someone who says SRR was not a puncher.

Who ever said that? If they did let me at em. Sugar Ray Robinson had one of the sharpest and most deadly weapons in history! His left hook . Right was'nt bad either!

I bet you did'nt have a straight face when writing this. He needs to start beating decent fighters convincingly for me to think he can beat Hearns. Let alone Leanard

[LiLHopkins]

PBF has some good skills so maybe he could. But comparing his power to those great welters is a big let down, so I have my serious doubt.

How would you suppose PBF will fight Hearns? Hearns is a tall welter with hands speed, foot speed and power.

Tommy Hearns KO7 Mayweather.

Tommy's reach would kill Mayweather especially if Hearns can get close enough to land that right hand. and Hearns is like 6'1 and Mayweather is like 5'9.
