    Its weird because as far as I try and go back ... Willie Pep does that defensive style the best i've seen (other than Floyd) I wonder who's the orginator.

    I think that Pep would be great in this era and is most comparable to Paulie Malignaggi ... he was more illusive than Malignaggi and had more style. He's like the white verson of Floyd.

    Pep and Floyd are like out of the same mold ...

    I take your point and its one I've made when comparing say Lennox Lewis to a number of heavies, but most notably Marciano. Outside of the heavies though it doesnt really have the same impact due to weight brackets. Its an interesting one but not something I think would make a difference at that weight.

    Now thats not to say I dont think Floyd would be fitter... he definately would. Better diets, better training regimes etc etc but Floyd isnt a pressure fighter so its not as if he would tire out SRR. I'd have to go with SRR in this no matter what.

    Incidentally, at what weight were you thinking for this? I'm assuming your talking welter?

    I think that Robinson wouldve took Floyd the distance ... but Floyd wouldve hit the very hittable Robinson.

    Pep v PBF at LW wouldve been a great fight !! alot of people wouldn't appreciate the boxing but I would love to see this fight more than any fight in the history of boxing.

    what a dumbass...the fighters back then has amazing stamina...not many today can go past 12 like in the past. No bad habits, like many of today's fighters. Most of the old fighters were about the basics of boxing. Why was Tyson so successful when Cas was alive? It wasn't just strength, it was his balance and punching technique...they called it a throwback style back then. Bhop is successful, even at his age, why?..because of his throwback style...throwback meaning a style from the past.

    Are you nuts or something? PBF the best fighter ever??? Does he or did he ever have one punch KO power in both hands? No. Does his list of ATG's he fought even come close to SRR's? NO. Has he really ever been in a long hard fight where he had to prove his heart? No. I don't why I even answer to this nonsense???

    Mayrunner has not beaten any of the top ten welterweights. Why not start this argument there first?

    SSR hands down.

    PBf has been dropped a couple of times against Hernandez and Against
    Judah. Castillo was rubbed in his first fight against PBF.

    Pep was a FW, Mayweather is a naturally bigger fighter by a good distance. What on earth makes you think Pep vs Floyd would be a good fight but that Floyd beats SRR? Why the **** do people feel the need to make permanent trolling accounts? If you want to troll, just make it obvious to **** people off for a day, and then take your banning, like I do occasionally on other sites. But spending this much time on it is just ridiculous.

    Dude, what the hell, do you just search up any threads regarding Floyd and revise them, just to post **** about him?

    Guys look at the date. This statement was made over five months ago, and then ganchozurdo digged this old thread up, just to hate on Mayweather.

    :lol: ......:think .......:think .......How many times?:huh

    SRR TKO's PBF. Floyd will get hit. Mid to late rounds get hurt, then OVERWHELMED. Wont b a matter of Chin:nono Will be a matter of skill, speed, will, and POWER:good Uppercut or hook on the final blows!:yep Maybe BOTH:D

    The fight would be at 15 rounds NOT 12. :nono

    How about floyd just fights the toughest opponents at 147 and yall stop worrying about NONSENSE. Why NONSENSE? Because aint NO WAY IN HELL:fire That PBF gets in the ring with guy's like SRR, SRL, and Hearns. He wont beat the toughest opposition IN HIS DAY:nono
