    I think H2H Floyd has a very good chance of beating Duran, it's an even money fight in my book. If he beats Cotto I don't see his resume as good as durans even then..but say a Cotto and Williams as someone else already said, Floyd definately has a case for top 10 pfp atg.

    Duran is still higher ATG than Floyd but Id pick FLoyd 10 times out of 10 against Duran

    I think in terms of Ability RJJ is ahead of Floyd, on ability in his peak RJJ is up there with SRR in my opinion.

    Exactly Ricky makes for ugly fights due to his style. PBF outclassed him once he figured him out.

    You might want to watch the fight again. Hatton was cut in the first round, and ate at least two or three flush straight rights in every other round. He was out on his feet twice in the 8th, and we all saw what happened in the 10th.

    Of course you don't you're one of the biggest PBF haters on the site.

    Aside from the first 2 rounds, I thought Mayweather looked great. He's very adjustable and very versatile, and he showed that last night.

    I'm aware he was cut. Still, those few punched Floyd was landing clean came to far apart for me to say he looked good overall. No matter how you dice it, Floyd was taken out of his fight for the most part. Either way, he ended it in a spectacular way as he needed to. Props to FLoyd.:deal

    Top 30?? thats madness.. Prime for Prime he's close to unbeatable.. you've got to have him AT LEAST top 15 in my opinion.. There was a poll on here long ago and the majority had him top 10 if I recall correctly..
