So a fighter who didn't knock out any of his best opponents is likely going to knock out another who's never even been in any real trouble? :think
Hearns wouldn't have to ko Floyd , he could jab him to death all night,he out boxed Benitez. Tommy was plenty fast at 147lbs. SRL Sweet pea
A geriatric shane mosley who could only fight for 10 seconds a round hurt mayweather badly. I think a prime Duran could too.
What's cute is you pretending that Mayweather is going to turn into a dunce and fight Locche's fight instead of using his obvious physical advantages. atsch
In order (imagining they're at their best):- 1. Hearns (very easy pick here) 2. SRL 3. Napoles 4. Duran Then, it gets harder to make a judgement. I'd slightly favour : 5. Whitaker With regards to Rodriguez, Griffith, Pacquiao, Chavez, De La Hoya and Benitez, it's a pick em'. I find it very hard to think how SRR would fare.
I would add Carlos Ortiz to that list, mate. Carlos had all the tools to beat Mayweather imo. Boxing or brawling.
Hearns and Leonard probably the best bets due to the strength of their jabs. Benitez is also possible since he'd be capable of making Floyd lead. Robinson is of course always a candidate. Given Floyd's linear backpedaling style I have no doubt this fight would end up on the inside, and Duran would be the better man there. Someone once put the Maidana 2 and Leonard 2 footage side by side to show the similarity of movement, I think Floyd would make that adjustment, but in the rematch, and with a fit Duran, that's still no guarantee and likely a competitive affair. His default footwork was more in line with Maidana 1, Cotto, Castillo 1, Hatton, DLH, etc. What are people's thoughts on Starling? [YT]wL8Q8PLE0Xw[/YT] Crazy how similar Sr. looks like Jr. at times.
