Floyd's ATG Status by Weight Class!

PBF is a more skilled boxer than Mosley. But Toney and Hopkins were more skilled than Jones at boxing. There is more to it than skill. Mosley had an amazing blend of speed and power at 135.

 

Shane in no way shape or form is more skilled then Floyd. Not at all his power/strength/speed is what is better. Skill wise...hell no.. Shane makes a lot of mistakes. There is no fighter out now that you can say has more skill then floyd that is as versatile as they come. He dont fight one way. Floyd got like 3-4 different fighting styles that he just pulls out of his ass.

 

I just said PBF is more skilled.

 

:nono

 

Out of context. He is basing this on skill and how they look in the ring. I only pointed out one thing he was basing it on.

Skilled boxer= PBF

But overall skill, which can include athleticisim I give to Shane. He is basing it on how they look in the ring. Shane looked better to me.

 

Thats your opinion. I think floyd showed me more. Thats why I am a floyd fan. I am not a Shane fan but do agree he is a great fighter. I always wanted those two to fight. Still do.

 

Of course it's my opinion. I am not a fan of either. And I don't think PBF could beat Shane at 135. If they fight now, I am taking PBF.

 

Shane is not more athletic then floyd. Floyd is good at every sport outside boxing as well. Lol. Basketball, **** even baseball he was better then 6'5 basketball players I heard. Floyd is probably the most athletic boxer out there..I bet floyd beats shane in a foot race.

 

Holy hell. That's gold!

 

You don't know if he is a better athlete than Mosley any more than I do. To me Mosley at 135 was more explosive, faster (IMO) stronger, and a harder puncher. IF PBF is the most athletic boxer now, it's only because Jones is old.

 

Well, Jones was not all that athletic he sucked at basketball he just shot lazy jumpers that me myself would throw back in his face and I am only an inch taller then him. JONES AS BB PLAYER IS OVERRATED. I seen him hoop. When they do the celebrity basketball games he was lazy as hell. Not even that fast. He is quick.

 

Jones was not all that athletic? Forget it man...no point in going on.

Jones played CBA ball. Thats a level slightly above college basketball's elite level. And PBF you HEARD played good...you aren't even basing this off of experience.

 

And no, it wouldn't be close....Jones is faster P4P than PBF, stronger, more explosive, quicker, harder puncher. PBF is a more skilled boxer technically. Jones is in a different league than PBF athletically. I guarantee very few would agree that PBF is as good an athlete as Prime Jones.

 

Oscar De La Hoya even fought more times at 135 than Floyd did. Oscar was also much more impressive in his wins at 135 than Floyd. Floyd only fought 4 times at 135, and actually lost one of those fights against Castillo. I sure as hell couldn't consider him anywhere in the top 10 all time at that weight. Let alone #3.

 

No way. Not close. I was trying to steer of all the pointless bickering, but this is too much. Jones never had Floyd's technical prowess, but RJJ could do things in the ring naturally Floyd couldn't dream of.
