    I think the thing we really need to consider is Floyd's ring IQ. He always finds a way to adjust mid-fight and pull away. I think it's really just a question of when he finds the countering opportunities. Floyd UD 116-112

    This would be about as fair as Hearns VS Charles.

    You guys all just hate Floyd because he's black and rich.

    Please watch Duran/ Hearns or Foster/Tiger. Hitman would come out looking to do big damage with his murderous combinations. I mean, if an old Mosely could seriously hurt him. Do you really think Hearns would let PBF off the hook ??? Plus Hearns was evry bit as fast as PBF, but also extremely lethal. 3rd rd KO Hearns... He would walk right to PBF, back him up and finish him. PBF, unlike SRL has nothing to get Hearns respect with...

    Your idea of Floyd outboxing Hearns is 1 of the dumbest things I've seen on this forum,there isnt 1 thing in a Boxing ring that Floyd could do better than Hearns except duck people and beat up chicks which is outside of the ring,he would be airlifted to the nearest local emergency room, he can be black and rich all he wants his only chance is hiring a "hitman" with gun or something bra!:rofl

    Floyd to my knowledge has NEVER faced someone who's a better boxer-type than he is. Hearns could outbox him and Floyd would be out of character trying to come inside plus he doesn't have the size or power to do so. Hearns by Ko. Brutal ko. Stretchers and carrying on.

    He would'nt have the courage to either,he would be scared out of his mind,we would ruin Floyd mentally and physically.

    Imagine Floyd in the Benitez-Leonard-Hearns-Duran era, he would've got beat up.

    As much as I like Floyd as a fighter I have to agree with you. He would faint before reading the contract.

    In that era he would have been beat up from featherweight up to welterweight,at 126 he would have had to deal with Sanchez and plenty of others from 130 to 140 he would have Chavez,Mancini,Bramble,Camacho,Whitaker,Pryor,Arguello,Howard Davis jr,Taylor,and more,of course he would win some but he damn sure would'nt be undefeated.At 147 the fab 4 isnt his only worries Curry,Breland,Starling,Simon Brown,Honeygahn,Norris,McGirt,McCroy and then the 1's he didnt fight in his era in their primes ODH,Forrest,Mosely,Trinidad, maybe catchweight fights like Winky,Vargas,Mayora,he would trully have knowhere to duck if he was in the 70's to early 90's makes me wonder if he would be retiring early,besides im not sure if could beat a prime version of his uncle who was much more well rounded then Mosely with more pop and a better arsenal.lol:lol:
