    Thanks. I haven't seen that interview. If you find it again, please post a link.

    I made the fight at LWW to make it what I thought would be fairer to Maweather.
    Most of Alexis's KOs are a 130 and I feel that Floyd would have less chance with Alexis at 130 than at LWW.

    That also begs the question of how Mayweather would have faired against the Aaron Pryor who faced Alexis. Pryor's swarming style had decent power in both hands. Mayweather avoids being hit with many combinations, but there is a good chance that Pryor would have had some success landing combinations, especially if Mayweather sat on the ropes as he did against Ortiz.

    For those who say Mayweather is too fast for Alexis, I say that Alexis had a good jab that could negate some of that speed. Arguello wasn't near as fast as Floyd, but he had very good timing and accuracy.

    Duran quite exactly ONCE in over 100 fights, using that as some kind of basis to justify an outcome is faulty in the extreme.
