hey Duran was great but had problems with boxers, PBF would box the **** out of him. and why did he say no mas against SRL?? it wasnt cause he was getting his ass whooped its because he didnt want to chase his ass around the ring anymore aka PBF.
theres a strong possibility that he loses to all of them,Hearns,Leonard and Duran would be certain losses.i can see him beating Chavez at 140 that wasnt Chavez best weight and Floyds movement would give him hell,while Sanchez was a featherweight and he never fought at 130 so i would probably pick Floyd to win at the only weight class he was trully great.
Yes, but this is preSRL Duran. No Mas was at 147. 135 is a different story. I would take PBF over 140 Chavez though and possibly Sanchez too.
I see him beating sanchez and JCC. Im on the fence with Duran cus at 135 Duran was a monster but I can see Floyd MAYBE squeezing a decision dunno really. Definitely loses to Leonard and Hearns.
Why is that?? If he doesn't trade with Tommy it can be competitive...I DOUBT HES STUPID ENOUGH TO TRADE...TOMMY BY UD 145-140
@ 130 vs Salvador Sanchez Floyd by UD. He use his superior movement to box Sanchez from the outside, but it would not be easy. Salvador has his moments, but comes up short. Floyd was just too good at this weight. @ 135 vs Roberto Duran The only weight Floyd IMO stands a chance of being competitive. Duran was cocky at 135 until he was humbled by DeJesus. Floyd would have to use his feet all night and jab and shoot lead right hands, but too many times Duran would close the distance and get his work done on the ropes. More competitive than some believe..I would love to see a trilogy. Duran UD @ 140 vs Julio Cesar Chavez Floyd close UD. This was not Chavez's best weight and Floyd was in his total physical prime. I see Floyd boxing his ears off with Chavez having some moments in the later rounds. @ 147 vs Sugar Ray Leonard Floyd would shock observers by being competitive in the opening rounds as Ray struggles with his style and studies him. But, Leonard's superior speed and movement at this weight begins to show from the middle rounds on as begins to beat Floyd to punch. Leonard UD possible stoppage. @ 154 vs Thomas Hearns HOLY SMOKES. You must not like Floyd at all for making this matchup with Hearns:-(
but even if he doesnt trade with Hearns,how does he get past Tommy´s jab? too much of a size diference there and i dont see anyone outboxing a prime Hearns,you had to knock him out to win.
He beats both Sanchez & Chavez. Taylor was outboxing Chavez and he didn't exactly run away. The 140 Floyd is alot smarter than the 135 Floyd who fought Castillo first time. I see Duran edging him on a close UD. SRL & Hearns knocks him out.
i can see him lasting the distance i just dont think he'd get enough done on offence to win,he wont be able to just potshot to a win against tommy ,not with such a height & reach disadvantage.he doesnt have the same speed & combination punching he did at 140 & below.tommy could just stick behind the jab and box him aat distance too.
Decent odds to win all the way to the 140lbs limit in these matches. I'm not sure how he beats Leonard, and Hearns at 154lbs would be ****ing hell.
