A well prepared Starling would be hell for any WW, JMW, or even MW. A past prime Starling gave a prime Michael Nunn a very tough night at MW (WMD12 Nunn). Nunn was a big MW and even had success at LHW. Starling was just a tad bit taller and naturally bigger... but it's not a huge deal. Starling proved he was able to handle bigger fighters though. With that said, I doubt Mayweather could hurt Starling. Starling was quick and had good power. He also had a very good chin. Starling beat Floyd Sr. BTW. I think Starling could beat him but he'd have to be 100%. Face it, Mayweather is one hell of a fighter... even if he is an *******!
Im going with Floyd here Marlon was a very good fighter but just a notch below Floyd i see Marlon being competetive though and hed win some rounds Floyd 116-112 . In my opinion Floyd is a ATG and Marlon is a borderline great fighter.
Marlon did have a good chin but dont tell that to cheap shot artist Tomas Molinares who kod Starling after the bell, i thought he should have been DQd.
I say split-decision for Mayweather. One card close for Starling, one card close for Mayweather, and one card lopsided in Mayweather's favor. No rematch even though Starling deserves one.
Starling would beat him up of he could be arsed. I'd say it's debatable that Floyd even has the better defence, although he was undoubtedly the faster and sharper puncher. Moochy would have little hassle getting close to him IMO. And on the inside, he'd find a way around Floyd's defences. Very, very close fight though, Floyd doing the more aesthetically pleasing work and Moochy, as always, doing the more subtle and persistent work. However, if he clowns, Floyd can shoot his jab to the body all night and get off first. I'd just fancy an in-form Moochy to get close to him too much, and also have the quality jab to offset Floyds and make him uncomfortable.
I voted Floyd because I was thinking floyd JR. Now that I look at the poll Starling is winning in a landslide i cna only assume the question is about Floyd Sr. against Starling. Is there a way to change my vote?
Starling already beat Floyd Sr twice. How about some input rather than a poll vote you ****ing spastic?
Starling would win, even if he did ass around. Starling assing around is still busier than a top flight welterweight Mayweather. Stronger, better in fighter, hel will walk through Floyd's punches and strangle him along the ropes. Floyd's struggles to keep Hatton off him tell me a lot. Starling is multiple tiers above anything Floyd has ever faced at welterweight. A prime Starling is a tier above anything Floyd has faced in his career period.
