    I favour Rodriguez here and Floyd loses his perfect record. Thoughts?

    Rodriguez wins. He’s a nightmare for Floyd with his activity, skill, speed and movement. Floyd never seen anything remotely like him and would be out of his comfort zone.

    Unanimously in favour of Rodriguez so far.

    I'll pick Mayweather to keep ahead of Rodriguez - overrated on this forum by my eye - and flurry and tough his way to victory over 12.

    This is the line of thinking that led me to bump the thread haha.

    I've been quite harsh on mayweather lately so I'm reviewing my thinking.

    He’s faced defensive slicksters. George Benton was one with excellent defensive skills and use of the shoulder roll. He’s also faced Griffith who had it all and was better than Mayweather and most felt Rodriguez deserved 3 maybe even all 4 of their fights.

    Mayweather would draw Rodriguez's jab, slip it and throw the counter right hand over it all night while potshoting jabs. When Mayweather takes Rodriguez's jab away he becomes pretty much redundant as it shuts his offense down.

    Plenty, I don't rate him highly. He's a boxer who got by with decent foundamentals (not great) and plenty of workrate/stamina, his skillset was limited. He had plenty of flaws Mayweather would exploit.
