Duran and Leonard made ridiculous comments. Like the fab 4 again is untouchable.

I am not sure. Hagler had a long reach. He could be a boxer if he wanted to..

 

Hearns would have KOd Mayweather.. no doubt

SRL would have outboxed him to a UD

Hagler and Duran I see having trouble with floyd, probably losinh

 

Who cares if they lost, they all have far superior resumes and accomplishments. Mayweathers 0 says a lot about his opposition. The Fab 4 all fought each other, they are all ATGS. Mayweather wouldn't be seen in the ring with an all time great. He doesn't have a single trilogy to his name either.

 

The cutesy ****, I mean luring his opposition to the corner to play some catch me if you can. You can bet he wouldn't try that with any of the fab 4. Maybe duran but duran would have love to take the challenge.

 

The Fab 4 all took chances and fought the best at varying weights. At their peak they only lost to each other.

Fab 4 > Floyd

 

I'm not going to read all of that but why is ther mention of mayweather, wilfried benitez was as good if not, better than mayweather, they all schooled benitez. 'Hagler knocked out duran' - duran was at 156 at the time of the fight, a natural lightweight, was shot to **** and shouldn't have done well, hagler didn't even knock him out lol in my opinion it was a 10-5 win to hagler. Floyd is one of my favoruite fighters but the dude didn't face a prime mosley, vernon forrest, margarito, williams or...pacquiao. Legacy forever tainted by wasting prime years on the likes of baldomir just for the dollar lol having said all this, I have him by split decision against duran.

 

If that's the case he wouldn't be rated in the top 3 at lightweight, now would he?

As to who would win between Floyd and Duran I'd pick Duran, but out of the other 3 Duran's his best chance, and in fairness to both Duran and Floyd, SRL, Hearns and Hagler and simply bigger fighters. Whoever said Floyd would beat Hagler should really give up following boxing, or at least watch the Hearns - Hagler fight to give you an idea of what Floyd would be up against.

 

Yes Hagler was too big for Floyd. The problem with Floyd is not talent but confidence. He wouldn't fight them, not if he doesn't fight Pacman who was smaller than all the fab 4. And I always thought Floyd would beat Manny.

 

Me too.

I have two or three problems with Floyd.

One is I've never actually seen him in a fight, at least not a Duran/Pac type fight where one guys probably getting stopped and the guy coming at you a very skilled.
So I don't know how he deals with constant pressure, which is why a fight between him an Pac would be interesting.

Secondly I've never seen him take multiple punches or a flush punch from a great puncher, so I don't know how good his chin is.. I know SSM caught him in the second round, but it wasn't sustained.

Thirdly I'm not sure of his punching power, I know it's decent, but is it better than decent?

I know he has great hand/foot speed, and a great defense and enough pop in his punches to mess up a Gatti type fighter, but those questions still remain with respect to the top eshleon elite fighters of the sport.

That said, I do think if he were to fight Pac he'd probably beat him, although that said, I though Pac was winning pretty convincingly agast JMM before the stoppage.

 

By the way Sweetpea would have UD'D Floyd ...easily

 

Yeah. My own list.

He's around there.

 

Floyd is undefeated because he never fought anyone near as good as the Fab 4. And only *****s and afew think he beat Castillo so no Floyd isn't undefeated. Floyd wouldn't even fight the Fab 4 of his generation (Margarito, Williams, and Pacquiao) and fought Cotto when Cotto was done. One of the most skillful of the last 25 years, but if a prime JLC beat him so would SRL, DURAN, HEARNS, AND HAGLER! The best lightweight, welterweight, jr middleweight, and middleweights of their era and arguably ALL-TIME fought each other like men. Duran, Leonard, and Hearns would of faced and destroyed Canelo and Pacman EASY. Floyd starts panicking just hearing their names. Pitiful.

 

Floyd seems tentative of a fight, and his defense is good so who knows if he ever would be hit clean. I never Pernell hit that clean until Tito knocked him down. I think Floyd punches are underrated, I just don't think he commits to them because of fear that if he fully commits he leaves himself open. Although I do believe he would fight the fab 4. Those guys tended to wear people out after many fights. Hearns and Hagler were not the same after the fights they had.

 

Hearns did literally close to nothing at MW.

And you're going to say a '92 Hearns at ****ing Light Heavyweight is a better win than anything Floyd has?!? You're straight ******ed, or possibly just didn't actually think before he typed.

 

I gotta admit, you're putting in work. A losing cause, a stupid cause, but you're going as hard as you can go :good
