Floyd also said he would spar Randall Bailey and knew he could beat him, but didn't want to out do him because he wouldn't invite him to the camp again
Pryor would beat either one at 140. But I don't know who to pick between Pea and PBF. It could be a dreadfully boring fight. I guess Pea seemed a little better based on my memories of his fights at those weights.
PBF was the better counter pucnher but Pea had the better Jab. I see Pea beating PBF with his ATG jab and winning by close UD.
Combine that with Pea's defense, workrate, countering and ring IQ it would be a tall order for PBF to overcome. I think PBF would have his moments but Pea wins a close decison.
Whitaker by a distance , if Floyd cannot hit Judah for 4 - 6 rounds , then he doesnt hit Whitaker for at least 8 - 10 , then he is behind and loses.
I dont see the parallel...Mayweather told everyone that would listen that Judah was a frontrunner and that he would step it up and dominate after the early rounds.
I think mayweather would win by a split decision. Mayweather is faster and hits harder but whitaker has better defense. Their skill level is equal. I would pick mayweather because whitaker always gets screwed in his fights. Mayweather leaves no doubt in most of his fights. I think mayweather would win by a controversial decision.
Mayweather was missing with the right hand clearly against a pretty average Judah , my point is that Whitaker is not Judah , as he would not only make Floyd miss , but also counter him , keep him guessing and outbox Floyd. I am just drawing on a flaw in Floyd which Whitaker would exploit.
