Floyd Mayweather vs Carmen Basilio @ 154lbs

Basilio is garbage. Mayweather 120-108.

I don't care if he had thunderous power, he simply has horrific technique and constantly looks terrible on film. No doubt a product of a more primitive era.

This is a guy that Joy Boy can definitely pot shot his way to victory against, as much as I LOVE to pick against Mayweather.

 

basilio would beat floyd by decision

physical strength, solid chin, constant pressure. he'd outwork floyd and win on the cards.

 

carmen who?

 

Fullmer had to beat the holy fire out of Basilio to finally whipped him.

PBF just isn't tough enough to beat this type of 50's fighter at Jr. Middleweight. (at welter though, I go with Floyd.

 

floyd by decision..

basilio is a very good fighter but i still think floyd will potshot his way to victory

 

Repeat. :good

Amsterdam starts a past v. current thread, the point being current is always better.
acb starts a serie of past v. current threads, the intent being to glorify the past.

Two posters putting forth their agendas by setting ridiculous matchups, each time without providing the minimum details.

In which era would the fights take place? Unanswered. The fight is supposed to take place in some atemporal ring like it's ****ing Startrek.

Would the fight take place in a context where the older boxer fights every second week whereas the younger one takes up to 6 months to recuperate from his previous fight? Not specified.

Would the competition be the same? Would the training methods be the same? We hear crickets...

Which environment would prevail? Judging? Sanctioning bodies? Would the mob be involved like in the not so glorious days of Primo Carnera? What?

 

i got pbf

 

Basilio by KO late or decision. Basilio puts too much pressure and takes too good a punch.

 

I was speaking in general terms, the plural form confirms it.
