Floyd would have beaten all welter weights except for hearns.

:rofl Pryor was using a form of albuterol in pill form. The same then used for asthmatic patients for instant relief is what he used for the fight with Alexis. It would open up his lungs....giving him his "2nd wind" so to speak. And that was the big difference in the fights. He could finish stronger in a back and forth brutal wars that they endured.

Floyd didn't dominate any aspect of the fight with DLH. I mean...if you tried really hard maybe you could force yourself to see things so one sided in Floyd's favor but it would be obvious. Floyd had a tough tatical fight with DLH...it wasnt' physically exhausting but Floyd had a tough time finding his range, landing at a very low connect percentage for Floyd and DLH won a good amount of rounds which again....Not typical in Floyd fights. He won....but it was close whether you can bring yourself to admit it or not.

 

Pryor didn't need to be bigger to beat Floyd. Floyd isn't a fighter who imposes his PHYSICAL will on anyone. So that is a none issue.

And the statement I bold shows you know little about the Hawk. If he's a favorite you obviously failed to apprecaite just how great he was. Alexis is a great fighter and him alone is better than any fighter on Floyd's resume.

Aaron and Floyd are similar in the sense that these two guys were GREAT boxers and Aaron was a tremendous FIGHTER....but their resumes aren't GREAT. They have very good resumes...especially Floyd, but they don't have the kind of resume that matches their greatness as boxers.

Aaron had a VERY hard time getting those BIG fights. People AVOIDED him. Floyd AVOIDED RISKY challenges. So that's a big difference in these fighters mentality.

Floyd had a close fight with DLH....some even scored the fight FOR Oscar. I didn't. I had Floyd winning by 2 rounds, but that's a close fight.

 

The hawk if you shut him down could not change tactics he was not a tactician he either circled or went straight ahead, if you take away his punches he cant circle or come straight ahead because he will get hit dummy.

Nobody avoided him either sugar ray leonard offered him a fight and it was bout 500k pryor flat out refused this offer saying he wanted more.

video on youtube.

 

The Hawk was all about adapting! His style was ever changing in the middle of his fights. No one really found a way to shut Aaron down. They'd have limited sucess but that was only b/c of Pryor's style. He ALWAYS was on offense.....he had solid Defense as well but his Offense was his most effective Defense. And Aaron's Offense was unmatched. He was very dynamic and very dangerous. Guys like Ray Leonard avoided him for good reason. Ray knew what was up. Ray low balled Aaron. $500K for Ray.... That's a good way of saying you don't want the fight. You're silly son of a ***** SPED. You have a very basic knowledge of the sport which is obvious.

 

Same as pac demanding 50/50 with floyd

either way in a series of 3 fights floyd would beat pryor at least two times.

 

thats the dumbest **** I ever heard! PBF is the best technical boxer of all time...look at compubox :nut

 

No....nothing like that. Aaron wasn't anywhere near a Sugar ray in terms of marketability. Ray could pretty much get the lions share no matter who he faced but $500K was a laugh.

PAC and Floyd are equals in terms of their drawing power so 50/50 is fair.

Floyd COULD beat Aaron....he's a great boxer. But the chance are not in his favor. But of course anything can and will happen in boxing. Floyd could beat Ray too...but it's not as likely as Ray beating Floyd.

 

case closed.

 

Sugar ray in no way beat or embarrass mayweather. Mayweather is accurate and has great foot work and great defense. He will have Leonard missing and he would be countering all night. Mnayweather would dog sugar ray worse than terry norris did but I'm speaking about ww

 

Floydettes out in full force eh? How anyone could fool themselves into thinking Mayweather can beat SRR , SRL and Hearns is rediculous. SRR is known as the greatest boxer of all time. I don't see Floyd standing up to the guy who most boxers regard as " The Master." Leonard was the modern version of Robinson IMO, and Hearns would decapitate Floyd if he caught him with one of those straight rights like Mosley hit him with. He almost dropped Hagler...he would crush Floyd.


There's no way to say for sure, but I'd make PBF a heavy underdog in every one of those fights.

 

oh boy..

 

Who at welterweight could beat floyd from the 80's

 

I am not sure he would beat a prime Oscar at 147, much less the greats of that weight.

 

:deal

 

Somebody let me know when Mayweather actually fights a good prime welterweight, let alone matching him up with the ww greats.
Until then, I'm gonna zzzzz on Floyd, just Like Mayweather SD Old ass De la Hoya put me to zzzzz.
