To beat Floyd you need an elite jab, speed, and good feints and timing.Floyd would be very hard to beat at 130, maybe Arguello, Saddler could. but plenty would beat him at 147: SRL, SRR, Hearns, prime Mosley, maybe Oscar. Definitely Oscar at lightweight. An the best fighters Of all time all had losses because they always fought the best competition. theres a big difference between that and cherry picking and fighting past prime big names. I absolutely adore Floyd' s style, talent, heart, and yes charisma, so dont get it twisted just calling it how i see it.
The sparring story, according to Morales: 'In 2000, I was training for a fight in Texas and sparred three or four rounds with Mayweather. Mayweathers father Floyd Sr. was my trainer and got me to spar with his son. I had him groggy and reeling but he never went down.' ( http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...exico-erik-morales-got-floyd-mayweather-offer ) At least he agreed to get in the ring with Pac.
I meanto 2009, if Floyd fought his way I think He would have beat Pac, doesnt matter better fights between better fighters have been made before and will be after as well.
i know esb got some mad love for morales, nobody hates morales here as far as I'm concern everyone respects him more than any other fighter out there active and retired. But morales has limits, he even surpass them when he beat pac in a clear decision(beat pac clear as day better than what marquez did) but floyd would smoke him at the lower weights
Pbf at 130 was a complete boxer and would be a stylistic nightmare for em. He has too much lateral movement speed defense power countering ring iq for morales too deal with. Pbf has him beat in every department. Morales isn't going to outbox pbf and he isn't going to ko him so how in the **** does he win? There isn't a person on earth that could convince me otherwise because there's no rational argument that could be made. Pbf beats Morales at 130 period end of discussion.:deal
Morales would beat the ***** out of Floyd. He would show him what a real fighters is. Balls to the wall always going for the KO. Floyd would get a bigger beating than Josie Harris. Morales Toys with the ***** before finish him of with a brutal right hand. The ***** has to leave the ring on a stretcher all ****ed up.
Mayweather is very good to Morales. Lets him fight on his undercards, and after he gets beat by Garcia, Mayweather will probably get revenge for him. Mayweather loves supporting old faded legenda.
Morales ducked Marquez, and rightfully so since he would've gotten beat by the other big 3 mexican putting him at number 3 right behind Barrera. Floyd went 12-0 against Marquez. So...
Why isn't anyone taking account that this "demigod" lost the triolgy to Barrera and poochiao (quit in the 3rd one after getting ktfo), and lost to DAVID DIAZ.
