Nicolino Locche vs Floyd Mayweather Jr @ 140 15 rounds

Locche was slightly bigger wasn't he? I'd go with Locche by UD. Scores along the lines of 116-113. or maybe even 116-114

 

Mayweather.

 

As great as a defence Locche had, I don't think he has some of the other attributes Floyd has. As far as I'm aware he lacked any real power.

I'd go for Floyd UD - though it would be a very interesting fight.

I haven't seen a huge amount of footage of Locche though - I need to see some more.

Floyd by brutal ko

 

No one KO's Locche...No one ever beat him convincingly, he was a true master of defense, far better then Mayweather...Though Floyd did other things better.

This is the kind of fight that depends on a lot of outside factors such as where is it being fought, the judges preference in scoring, the ref...It will be very closely contested.

If I had to choose a winner I would go with Nicolino via SD. Neither is winning by a large margin and certainly neither is winning by KO.

 

Neekooo Leeno didnt have enough offensive weapons to point PBF IMO. Using his patented defense would likely just lead to a points loss. His only real weapon is the left hook. I see Floyd figuring him out and with PBFs handspeed Nico wont look as sharp defensively. I see that lead rigth from Floyd landing home enough to take the decision points. Stamina wont be a problem for either guy over 15.

 

When did Locche ever throw anywhere near that amount of punches?

The difference here would be Floyd's speed and footwork, along with his better offensive arsenal. Locche was better than Floyd in some of Floyd's key areas (overall defense, in the pocket, against the ropes, slipping, rolling, countering in close, etc.) but he was also lacking in certain areas that Floyd could use against him. I assume Floyd's considerably greater speed (primarily of foot, as Locche was as hard to hit as any in the upper body) would allow him to do the majority of the offensive work, whether from the outside, using an in and out gameplan, or simply opting after a certain point to make it a close range fight.

Would be an excellent tactical affair though, and I expect Floyd would have to really settle down and take his time by around mid-point of the bout, as he'd likely be made to look worse than he ever has before if he tried to unleash his hands right off the bat.

 

This.

 

Locche was defensively better and didn't need to clinch 25X a round.

 

I'll take Floyd by close UD. Locche was TBE on defense but Floyd was more well rounded. I expect the body jab would play a big role in punishing Locche for his head movement. It would be interesting though seeing Floyd trying to solve the Rubik's cube that is Locche's defense.
