remember when hurtado was ahead of pernell in their fight, then pernell went for the gusto and knocked him out?

My gut says Floyd was a little sharper, and a bit better in most departments, but def a close fight

I recall it took Pea 100 (slight exaggeration) unanswered punches to finally end it.

I mentioned Hurtado not only to examine Pea's underrated power, but also because it was an example of how Pernell is more willing to take risks when he is down on points
Floyd took no such risks against Oscar, Maidana 1, or Castillo 1, fights he could've lost.
I agree with chirorickyp that the second half of a theoretical Floyd vs Pea matchup would be super interesting.

Prior to moving up to WW, may had a very respectable KO %. Even with his well documented hand issues. He moved up and left his power behind and faced guys who were bigger and stronger. I'd say thats taking plenty of risks.
Hurtado........God bless him
