    Correction: Mosley tried to fight like him and failed. Mosley in his prime did not have the upper body movement or feel for distance that SRR had... nor was his footwork as good (Mosley can not really fight very well on the backfoot, while SRR was KOing guys going back) ... also... SRR's jab was 10x better than Mosleys... Mosley's jab is just a range tool for his right hand as he paws it out. SRR's jab was a weapon.

    You're selling Floyd short. His reflexes beat emmanuel's reflexes easily.

    Pacquiao is faster and punches just as hard. It wouldn't be easy for Robinson if he gets caught or if he gets tired.

    Pacquiao isn't a counter puncher. Mayweather has great reflexes but he's not the fastest or hardest punching boxer out there. He would get destroyed by a Leonard or even a Williams.

    Leonard is an elite bigger man. Floyd is an elite smaller man. Leonard beats Floyd.

    Paul Williams gets his AZZ beat by Floyd.

    Pacquiao at 147 has knocked out virtually everybody. It appears his power has carried.

    Floyd doesn't have the power to hurt Williams. Floyd also does not throw enough punches to win on defense.
