    ^This. Toney was the undisputed KING of counterpunching. He didn't even have to move around the ring, he could just stand in one place and destroy people.

    Maybe Toney when it comes to using the counter right hand, but Floyd uses more counters like the left hook and the striaght right to counter the jab

    I love Pea & Rigo but one thing people have to remember is that those guys are Southpaws and it is 10x easier to do things when you are a Southpaw. If Floyd was a Southpaw then everyone would be calling him the best ever. He would be mad dominant

    The sickest one where he dodged like 2 shots while on the ropes and still landed 2 of his own. That was boxing at it's finest.

    No there hasn't. Floyd has the greatest ring IQ ever in the history of the sport. I dont rank him close to Ali, SRL,SRR but I can honestly say he does have way better IQ than those guys.

    Exactly ! Its one thing to counter but to be able to counter with KO power now that's a thing of beauty !
