    Floyds chin could not withstand a single punch from a faded Mosley .

    So I do not want too see happens when Roy connects on him .

    RJ was an excellent banger back in his day .

    Could not withstand? What happened when he got hit? I saw him recover and not even come close to going down really (knee did buckle once).. Did I miss something? If you got hit like that reacting means you didn't withstand it? Some of you guys make everything seem way worse than it was...

    Nobody said they would be meeting in their prime. Roy wasn't in his prime at 54 either, but they both did compete at the weight at some point in their respective careers well before either one of them could be considered shot, did they not?

    Is that what it is? Why, you don't like how he would fare in the fantasy matchup?

    Floyd past his prime, but a shitload of experience, Rj green at 154, but still a phenom at 154. I rarely go against experience, but Rj was that great. His reflexes were better than Floyd's, defense at least as good as Floyd's, hit much harder, and to make things worse he was a combination puncher, so if he'd happen to miss once, which I'd doubt, he'd definitely connect on Floyd, and finally a size advantage as well. Mosley didn't hit half as hard as Rj. I don't think Floyd would beat a Terry Norris much less a 154 Rj, even a green one. Rj wouldn't be intimidated by Floyd's pizzazz or big fight show in fact he'd welcome it. He'd steal the spotlight from Floyd.

    That green Jones Jr. that fought at 154 twice early in his pro career, would absolutely own any version of the 154 pound Mayweather, whether it be the one from the De La Hoya, Cotto, or Alvarez fights. Too big, too fast, too much power, not to mention a chin. Jones Jr. by KO.
