Is Floyd a Top 5 Talented Fighter??

easily, really in his prime and at his natural weight he was the most talented and by far

 

let's get the experts opinion on this first....Jacory are you here?

 

Yeh

 

Plenty more talented and complete fighters than Floyd. Duran, Napoles, Pep, Robinson, Gans, SRL, Benny Leonard, Pea, etc, etc.

There is 4 main things going against Floyd in terms of being a top tier skilled fighter.
1. Low work rate
2. Lack of power
3. lack of great offence in terms of combo punching.
4. He doesn't switch from offence to defence fluidly like a Duran. He has to constantly reset himself.

 

Hell No.

 

Manny...is that you?

 

In terms of technical ability, I think he is.

 

Yes

 

Roy Jones Jr in his prime was pretty good

 

:hi:Hi Trollerby Thomas...:hi:Bye Trollerby Thomas

 

He's also the number 1 chicken in history.

 

Amir is that you?

 

He was immense. The thing with Roy is he didnt age as well as someone like Hopkins because he lacks fundamentals. His outstanding natural talent and reflexes meant he didnt need to learn much on the technical side of defence. Once he lost a percent of his freak reflexes he didnt have the fundamentals to fall back on. He could well be the most natural talent in boxing history but he had flaws that have been exposed more than once when father time caught up with him. Father time seems like it has caught up with Floyd but he has the craft and defensive technicality to counter his loss of speed, reflexes and accuracy. He just negates the **** out of everybody nowadays. Like Bhop has done for years and will likely do to Kovalev, even if he loses.

 

**** off lol
