    Olu,

    Come on, let’s have the cherry on top of the cake.

    Just come out and say that Floyd would have beaten Hearns.

    You might as well.

    No your reply doesn't tie in with what happens.

    You are saying his adjustment in round 3 is what won him the fight. But Oscar won rounds after round 3.

    Going into round 9 the fight was very very close.

    The round 3 adjustment doesn't win him the fight.

    You're right though, debating does require patience.

    Nobody said Pernell was at his peak when they sparred but Floyd was a novice and amateur turning pro sparring a legend and he benefited from it. You don’t hear him boasting about kicking Pernell arse or anything untoward.

    Thanks Sir. It went very well thank you. So glad they could do it online in these COVID-19 Pandemic.

    I have an extensive video library collection of fights and I enjoy watching the old timers. One of my pet issues is how a lot of modern fighters don’t have developed skills like the old timers. The guys you matched up against Floyd are all great fighters. This is not based on boxrec but on watching them. I did not pick Floyd to win every fight. Yes he could but if you read my analysis I am not certain he does. I picked a draw between him and Wilfredo Benitez as they would be facing a carbon copy of each other. I think he is more skillful than Pryor but I am not sure anybody at 140 can beat Pryor in history head to head that is how highly I rate him. I think I picked Floyd by split decision but I make it clear I am sure. With Pryor having more talent is not enough. To be honest I don’t know for a fact that Sugar Ray Leonard would have beaten Pryor but what I do know for a fact is Pryor believed he would have beat Leonard or anybody.

    He was absolutely devastating at the lower weights and scored lots of knockout victories.

    You didn't pick anyone to beat Floyd, that says it all imo.

    You need to pity yourself son! You have no objectivity when it comes to Floyd so you let your imagination and neurotic symptoms run wild. We need to check you into the Bellevue psychic ward.

    You accusing somebody else of not being objective, has to be the funniest thing I’ve ever read on here in the 8 years that I’ve been a member.

    You should be ashamed of yourself for praising a transvestite parading himself as a great fighter. He is not. I stand by my comments. You have your agenda to discredit Floyd but it does not wash because he beat all comers and made a fool of idiots like you. It’s documented he had a torn rotator cuff in the first Castillo fight he fought and won even though in pain and did not make excuses like others. Why did Canelo and his team ask for the Mayweather fight saying they would do it at the catchweight? Like Ellerbe watch what you ask for as you might get it especially with an idiot for a manager. Your hero Oscar tried it with Hopkins but could not pull it off. I think you wrote earlier Hopkins should be ashamed of himself for being a bully. You are a hypocrite. Yes Floyd would beat Hopkins at Welterweight or Junior Middleweight because he is better.

    I will upload if I think it’s relevant or if there is something I feel like sharing otherwise frankly no because to many idiots on here have their sad petty agendas.
