Mayweather UD.

 

Seeing how he would go about fighting Locche would be very interesting. Floyd's got the better offense, and that would probably lead to a decision win, but that fight would be an intriguing one for sure. Same with Benitez.

I edge towards Pryor to pull out a decision, Mayweather beats Tszyu.

 

Pryor is a bad Mofo.....I just finished watching some of his early fights.

Pryor might even stop PBF if Floyd lays on the ropes and takes punch after punch.

 

Pryor would definitely be the hardest match up of the bunch but Loche would be very interesting to watch...

 

I think he would go 1-3, squeaking out a decision against Tszyu, coming up short against Locche, way short against Benitez and Pryor taking him out in 10.

 

Mayweather UD Locche, primarily on his better legs and offensive arsenal.

Benitez MD Mayweather. I like Benitez to edge the battle of counter-punchers in a primarily mid-ring technical chess match.

I like Pryor to decision Floyd over 12 rounds, with Mayweather winning about 4, and possibly even putting Pryor on the canvas with a quick counter, as Pryor's wild style often lead to him being off balance and susceptible to being caught cold. I do think Pryor is one of the guys capable of catching Floyd clean a lot and probably hurting him at some point.

I think Tszyu poses some real problems to Floyd, but I generally see Floyd as the more well rounded technician, and Tszyu doesn't really hold a big edge on him stylistically, IMO. I still do think Floyd would need to stay on the move in this one, but I'd take him by UD.

 

No Duran?

 

In all honesty, on his best night @ 140 I see him beating ALL 4 of these men, with Pryor possessing the style to trouble him the most. The Benitez fight would be VERY intriguing also as I regard him as the very best at that weight I've seen on film.

 

Loche - intriguing, Floyd has the faster hands, both amazing defensively, FMJ wins a possibly scrappy UD
Tyszu - too easy to hit and relied on scoring an equaliser which he wouldnt here
Benetiz - a bit lazy so loses a UD
Pryor - going with the better boxer in FMJ, leageus better defense, faster, rangier. Pryor was actually was of FMJ's favourate boxers and he takes a move or 2 from him. I'd go for an 8-4 win

BTW I think 140 would have been Floyd's best division if he'd stayed there

 

The Locche fight would have been one for the 'purists' i imagine. Not exactly the type of fight you'd introduce someone to boxing with.

I reckon Floyd comfortably UD's Tszyu, Closely UD's Locche and Benitez and gets soundly whooped by Pryor.

 

Floyd is 10x better at SFW than any other weight he fought at. i was about to say that i dont think Floyd is that great at LWW or WW and think he owuld lose them all except to Tszyu and Locche

 

IMO Floyd was peaking in 2004-2005, he was 26-28, was getting his man strength and experience to compliment his other attributes. 140 was a very good division for him, 147 he is small for the weight, not so much at 140.

Unfortunately FMJs prime was wasted at 140, Hatton and Cotto didnt want to fight and Tyszu was on another TV network

 

yes maybe his physical prime was around them years but he was small at the weight and had lost alot of speed and movement at the higher weights i think at SFW he is alot better and is very highly ranked by me H"H at SFW
