Am i alone in thinking Lloyd could have a realistic chance? Floyd v Lloyd. Thoughts? This content is protected
No, none. This coming from someone who is not a fan of Floyd. That said, I respect the heck out of his skill set.
Honeyghan had a good engine and looking back to how close a faded Delahoya pushed Floyd, it may not be so farfetched, especially at Welter.
I think alot depends on the ref. Too many times Floyd got away with excessive holding against aggression or the ref not letting inside work get done befor hollering for a brake. If Lloyd is allowed to fight a rough an tumble fight and pull May out of his comfort zone than there's a chance.
I'm a fan of the Raggamuffin, but feel Floyd would be too crafty. Sometimes Lloyd could get a bit eager and overly aggressive in flashes. Crafty Floyd on the back foot could would frustrate him and pull him round the ring in to a nasty counter.
no. the style is not there. Donald stood right in front of guys, and he counterpunched. Against Honeyghan that worked against him. Lloyd had faster than thought hands and he hurt Donald and kept it going..
Maybe .Lloyd was a natural welterweight fast with a good jab hit hard and didn't give a **** ! Floyd would be under constant pressure and attack ! Would be one of Floyd's hardest fights .
De la Hoya would have beaten Honeyghan he was harder to hit and had a better reach, Honyghan`s corner were crap no way could they figure Floyd out when none of his previous opponents could, Honeyghan wasn`t any better than Floyd`s top 10 opponents, Hattons footspeed in getting inside and body work was better than Lloyd`s so was Mosley`s, both men would have beat Curry the day he fought Honey, he was all over the place, De La Hoya aged better than Curry also who would have been beat far worse by Floyd had he been around in the late 80`s, sad!
Floyd`s jab was better vs Pac compared to Lloyd`s use of a jab vs Curry, plus Mayweather counter right would have caught Lloyd every ime he jabbed because his rear hand was held low when he jabbed just like Pac.
