    How do you think this plays out?

    Mayweather Sr. was tall and rangey, with a good jab, power, and good defensively - you can see a lot of Floyd Jr. in his style, the shoulder roll, lead left hooks, strong right hands, feinting jabs to the body and coming upstairs with a hook... he was good defensively, put up a good showing against SRL early on in both mens careers before being stopped late.

    In terms of calibre of fighters fought, overall skill level and acheivements, Junior is of course miles ahead - but from a purely technical standpoint, how do you think lil Floyd would deal with an opponent competent in a similar style to his and what adjustments do you think he would make during the fight?

    Would his speed carry the day?

    Sr would get stopped late (or possibly earlier?). He had a penchant for gassing late in each round in that fight

    Floyd jr is the better version of senior, he mastered the style. I think Jr stops Sr late or wins a wide decision.

    Sr. would whoop him in the streets. But in the ring Floyd takes it.

    World class skills verses Journeyman skills. Money schools Joy.
