    Yes he did Oscar had longer reach than he did so did Tony Pep.

    Agreed. A win against either one of them would have sold me on his self proclaimed greatness

    There were times he refused to get on the scale — Marquez, Pac, and Mosley.

    Neither one of those fighters do that for PBF he was already great before he left 130 and doesn't need them. He beat much better fighters than either Williams or Margo neither of which are even HOF level. Stop!

    He was usually outweighed on fight night by his opponent than the other way around. Having to fight a guy who outweighs you on fight night by 10 to 15 to 20 pounds isn't easy.

    He wouldn't fight Marg, yet he'd have beaten Hearns?

    Ha!

    Makes sense.

    I think the difference between Cotto - Margarito I and II should be enough to shut down this thread.

    It's obvious that he's referring to the potential danger of being busted up by loaded gloves.

    Prime Williams considering his size would be Floyds best win.

    JLC is the best win on his resume prime for prime. And Williams would be better. JLC is more skilled. Williams far better chin.

    True, but being lighter doesn't equal being smaller.

    Floyd is 5'8 and has very long arms and a very long reach for a man of his size.

    It's not just speculation.

    You'd have had a complete meltdown had Manny have been caught with an IV on his sofa.

    Yeah, who he fought at 154 after only a few fights at Welterweight, and agreed to all of Oscar's demands because he recognised that Oscar was the PPV king.

    Mike Tyson had a reach of 71". Joe Calzaghe's reach was 73".
