    Aint been listening to Roger Mayweather, I came to the conclusion myself after watching of all people Victoriano Sosa and I realised with a hard jab you could beat Floyd.

    I don't think you need a jab to beat floyd, I'm not sure what you need. All I know is that Castillo came the closest by piling on the pressure, stepping inside, and banging to head and body. Pryor was relentless at 140lbs, and I can't see Floyd ever getting his respect with those pot shots of his off the back foot. Pryor could conceivably win that fight based almost purely on work rate.

    Undeniably, but it'd probably be the same story as the Pryor/Arguello fight. Pryor throws three times as many shots, lands with 8 out of 100, and I'd probably still give him the round because Floyd is too busy doing his shoulder rolling.

    It would be similar but Floyd would be looking to make Pryor miss whereas Arguello was looking to counter.

    Floyd would be looking to do both, but he'd probably still get out worked.

    Floyd is fairly easy to outwork with THE RIGHT OPPONENT Imo.

    And there are many fighters from history that fit the bill IMO

    Pryor is fast, strong, relentless and powerful. He will throw at any part of Mayweather he can hit and any counters from Floyd he will eat them up, i think that it is an even fight for the first six before Pryors amazing workrate leaves Floyd in his wake. Mayweather doesn't throw enough to keep Pryor off of him.

    Relatively wide UD or late stoppage for me.. Pryor is a H2H monster.

    Funnily enough, Chang is named 'The Korean Hawk' due to his stylistic similarities to Pryor.

    So, a bigger version of Chang would beat Floyd IMO, hence Pryor would beat him :good

    I think more highly of Chang than Pryor though. Even though Pryor has those names on his resume, Chang has some bloody good ones as well.

    Yeh I knew that, but a bigger Chang would be regarded as one of the greatest fighters ever IMO.
