    I think Tszyu might've been problems. Thoughts.

    Prime DLH, Vernon Forest, and really anyone who had a good-great jab.

    Prime PWill too

    Whitaker, but Floyd beats him in the long run. War of attrition

    Paul Williams would have been slightly troublesome with his Hearns build. Long reach/good power

    Pac with his southpaw style. But gets beaten easily to a ud.

    Prime DLH but still gets beat.

    :deal Dat Jab.

    Having said that, beyond the jab and left hook Ike didn't have much else that would trouble Floyd.

    I'd wager Floyd to figure him out and get more comfortable in the second half of the fight and take a decision, a close 7-5 kinda fight. But not too comfortable. That left hand is still gonna cause a world of hurt for the full twelve rounds.
