Well? In no order guys who can beat him now 1. Crawford 2. Spence 3. Pacquiao 4. Porter 5. Ortiz Jr Who else?
Even 2017 Floyd wasn’t top 10, 20, 50, whatever. Just a crafty old retired guy who has pretty much lost all of his physical attributes. Now, if we are talking ‘theoretical Floyd who had never retired’ then it might be different, but that’s entirely theoretical and moot.
I think he'd have the most problems with Spence. He can be one step ahead of Crawford but Spence will walk Floyd down.
That pretty much covers it IMO. At his age Floyd can't have the flexibility, speed, reflexes, & whatnot of a top level prime aged fighter, but the shape he was in last night [relatively poor imo] is such that it's hard to tell just how good he could be/could have been.
Do you mean his current 40+ year old self? Then no. If we're taking prime floyd and putting him in the ring with these fighters, then he slaughters all of them.
Floyd threw ~100 punches. He will not be able to throw that few in 8 rounds and expect to be beating today's crop. So in short, no. However he'd undoubtedly beat them all in his prime.
Still analzying punch stats? If you put on this kind of performance against a novice, you are shot to pieces.
Maybe if he hadn't retired and remained active he'd still be top 10 like Pac but all that time out is even more damaging than his age. I can't imagine him being able to compete right now against the top welterweights.
Judging by today's exhibition, father time caught up to Floyd. I think any of those guys would be favored/even.
This is a ridiculous question. Floyd is a 45 year old man that hasn't fought professionally in 4 years. There's no one in the top 10.......perhaps top 15 of WWs that he could beat. Pac (who he schooled for example) would stop him extremely quickly at this point. I don't understand the point of questions like this, it proves nothing other than age and lack of activity retires everyone. This is as bad as the who would win today Canelo vs. Floyd questions
