I was talking to a friend and he brought up this topic and said Guzman could beat Floyd if they ever met my first reaction is thats horse****, what do you guys think? Is this just rediculous
It's ridiculous. He's simply too small, and a prime Floyd would've beaten the Guzman of today at 130 handily. Guzman's peak was at 122.
Thats exactly what came to my mind when my friend brought this up I just didnt even think of it happening
130/135 flyd wins by TKO. because at that weight he threw much more punches and way way more dangerous then he is now
Guzman is a very good fighter, in fact I rate him top 10 p4p based on his abilities, but Floyd is the greatest of all time at 130 and a very, very accomplished fighter at 135, where Guzman is yet to prove anything. Floyd late TKO @ 130. Floyd UD @ 135.
Floyd has two top wins at 135, one of which was arguably a loss. I wouldn't call that "very, very accomplished". I'd give Floyd a better chance at a stoppage above 130 to be honest, as Guzman has proven nothing above the weight, whereas Floyd has, as you said yourself.
Forgot he only had something like 5 fights at lightweight lol. atsch As you say though he's still accomplished a lot more than Guzman.
according to "boxrec" the heaviest Guzman has ever been into the ring is 132.5 lbs against Javier Jaurequi. but the agen this is boxrec were talking about which is 60% bull****. well they cant be too far off
Boxrec doesn't measure ring weights though, there at the weight in, before the fighters have rehydrated themselves and had a feast that night.
