Floyd vs the Greats

The guy picks Mayweather to beat Hearns atschatsch

There goes his credibility.

 

Call me a **** but i'm interested to see the contrast in responses to this thread and it's clone thread in the classic.

Popcorn time.

 

That's the first time I think I've seen anyone pick Floyd over Hearns. I just can't agree with that - Hearns jab is the perfect weapon to beat Floyd. In fact, I'd struggle to pick a Welterweight who is a worse stylistic match-up for Mayweather.

I can't pick Floyd over Duran either.

 

i think Hearns, at 6'1" would actually be the hardest fight for floyd, his long jab and his right would be able to get over the top of floyds shoulder . the only way to get over that shoulder roll leanin with the right- is to be taller and long armed. the same way tarver gave roy jones fits, the same way hearns gave leanard trouble, the same way forest gave mosley trouble. the way to counter speed is with a jab and length.

i dont think that guy is much of a credible boxing expert, nor is dan rafael. that fat **** hasnt seen the inside of a boxing gym and yet he talks about it professionally for a living!??! these are sad times. at least with guys like atlas and steward- they have worked in the sport. thats gotta count for something. now we have losers like this elie seckbach and this ****in clown who have opinions printed like it means something. these are shitty times. we have a ****in ***** for p4p 1- and the media is so **** they seem to think the sun shines out of his arse.

 

Graham Houston is a pretty good writer, usually gets his picks right in fights and unlike many of the people here who go on about the old fighters, he's old enough to have actually seen them.

 

It's not the fact he's picking Floyd to win that's actually getting me, it's his rationale. The man does not know boxing and he's on a payroll for this. His reasoning for each of Mayweather's wins are cringeworthy of the highest order.

 

Since you agree with those picks let me ask you this;

How does Floyd get past Hearns jab?

 

He sure did watch them fight,the fact that he says that Napoles had a difficult fight with Lopez makes me think otherwise,hes making bull**** arguments to favor Floyd.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

That article is a joke. The writer is a joke. And he get´s money for it. :-(

 

His reasoning for Mayweather beating Napoles is the jab as well. I'm not detracting from Mayweather here, i'm detracting from Houston, that logic is attrocious.

 

True Napoles had a very good jab it was quick,precise and he was always at the perfect distance to throw it without getting countered,Floyd's jab might be quicker but Napoles timing would nullify that slightly speed advantage in Floyd's favor.

 

He would out box and manouvre Duran all day long ... and Hearns he could have the speed to counter on the inside ... we all have opinions mate !

When Mayweathers retired for good after his 8th comeback maybe then we will all say this kid was an awesome boxer and stands tall with the greats .... its not what he does its how he does it ...
