    He could go the distance with survival tactics like Benitez did. He wouldn't win though.

    Ko 1 loss. If Duran could last 2, Floyd would last 1. Facts.

    :lol::lol:

    Your logic is sound but you are overlooking the fact that it wasn't the Superhuman Montreal Duran who eked out a decision over Leonard, so it doesn't count.

    He'd be smart enough not to open up or take any risks, so yeah.

    I think he does. His defense, durability and quickness will see him to the final bell, but he most likely can't win.

    Yes I think so. Tommy was awesome early usually but settled down if he did not knock a guy out within a few rounds.
    I don't see why Floyd could not survive if that was his sole purpose.

    Benitez wasn't close to being KO'd so why wouldn't Floyd have a chance to last?

    If he goes in there just to survive i dont see why he couldnt last the distance,Benitez managed to do it and he didnt had as good a chin as Floyd and his defense was at best at the same level as Floyd's although i think Floyd's defense is a lil better.

    I voted No.
    But, yeah, Floyd could always last the distance if he goes purely into survival mode.

    But his bike is gonna need a brand new set of tires after the fight...
