**History check: PBF vs. the follwoing ATG's...**

SRL - I think Floyd loses this fight by 2 - 3 rounds. I think it becomes a chess match- SRL adjusts and floyd adjusts- I see it going SRL comes into the fight with a gameplan and executes- Floyd makes adjustments - srl makes adjustments. I think this would be a great one to see but i think that SRL frustrates him at times and takes it by 2-3. UD SRL Also- Floyd superior defense earns him a lot of the rounds.

Hearns is a tough one to call. You'd think a lankier, tall fighter like hearns would do every well against mayweather but as he showd against Corrales, he has tools to make things happen. I think that hearns lakes a loss here not because he is another corrales, but because floyd uses his high punchrate against him. I think that Hearns was too predicatble with his punches which Floyd's ducking and rolling defense blocking the brunt of the assault.

Aaron Pryor was a mean mean man capable of commiting atrocities on mankind. I see him testing Floyd early and often scoring knockdowns just as early and often. High pressure and high speed spells disaster for Floyd Joy Sinclair.

Duran i think gets abused by floyd. Floyd has way to much movement to let Duran get in and do his work. I don't think Floyd would make the same mistakes as other ATGs. He is usually very good at coming in to a fight with the right game plan. I see it playing out as a boring stick and move type fight with floyd getting the UD. However as yesihavearm said- Duran was a lot like Castillo in that he brought pressure. I attribute the castillo (loss?) to Floyd's only bad gameplan desicion. If he fights like that, he gets taken down late.

Taylor makes for a great fight. Both lightning quick. I say this becomes fight of the year/decade/century. Blazing combos - jab happy - zinging speed. But again, I think that Floyd would make adjustments enough to either win a VEEERYYY close decision or draw. I don't see Taylor taking this one, but certainly could have earned a draw.

JCC versus Mayweather only becomes fair I think at 135. I don't think JCC's power maintains enough at 140 and Floyd was a baby at 130. Split the difference and you have 135. At one 135 I see JCC bringing the heat and floyd not being able to handle the assault. He'd backpeddle a lot and get stuck with a lot of shots. I don't see Floyd getting ko'd but i see him taking a beating and losing by a better weight adapted JCC.

As far as Pernell is concerned, I think that Pernell wins by UD. Pernell obviously has a colorful defensive style but also can come forward with blistering combinations. I see this one going the distance with Sweet Pea on top at the end by UD.


Camacho was too predictable, Floyd would study and come to play with the right toys to WIDE UD camacho.


Arguelo was such a hit or miss fighter I thought. You could see him demonstrate boxing genious is what i've seen, but then he would look like a loser in the ring at other times. I think that an Arguelo with his headstriaght (or whatever it was) who came at the peak of his ability takes floyd. But there were a lot of fights arguelo had where he simply wasn't impressive. If he comes with anything less than his absolute best, he loses.

 

leonard tko floyd
floyd tko hearns
floyd w12 duran
floyd w12 chavez
floyd w12 camacho
whitaker w12 floyd
floyd w12 taylor
floyd w12 arguello
pryor tko floyd

 

I agree with all of these. Good list.

Except I think Hearns will knock out Floyd in 3 or 4.
