    I'd give Greb a big chance against Muhummad Ali but Floyd is a bridge too far.

    Floyd would shoulder roll and cover up Grebs predictable attack and I doubt Greb has the defensive skills to avoid Money's deadly accurate right hand leads and single shot combo's.

    Floyd is the greatest fighter of all time so theres no shame in Greb getting his arse beaten by him. It would just be a matter of Harry accepting a 70/30 purse split (Money's way of course), a pre,during and post fight drug test,Floyds choice of gloves, promoter, ring entrance music, venue, referee (Joe Cortez of course) and a date to be set aside (of Pretty Boy's choosing) that doesn't clash with Lil' Floyds pending imprisonment and or false retirement.

    Once these formalities are met Floyd would whip that arse because compared to Floyd Greb ain't ****.

    Greb 10-5, with a chance of stoppage. After round 4 it's all over Floyd. Greb too big, too strong, too many punches.

    Greb lost and drew to 147lb Soldier Bartfield and lost to 156lb O'Dowd

    The fight report indicates Greb had problems with their greater speed.

    -no footage of greb obviously-

    floyd would hang, maybe win, for the early going but he is going to take body shots that slow his footspeed and won't be able to fight his pace. floyd feeds on over agressive running in but greb doesn't seem to have been big on this. floyd lands plenty but greb don't care, keeps windmilling and wears floyd down and forces him to go defensive for rounds at a time.

    greb tko10 - 15 possibly decision, depends on floyds tactics later in fight.

    As many thought Greb won that fight and it might be mentioned that Greb had gone 8 rds just 10days previously, and 10 rds 13 days before that. Greb had problems with Bartfield's punching not his speed." The Soldier hits hard".
    O Dowd was the consensus winner against Greb ,but I haven't seen a report that puts that down to his superior speed.
    Again Greb had fought the tough Bob Moha just a week earlier, taking a 10rds dec off him.
    Greb had weighed 170lbs for that fight and had to reduce considerably to meet the middle weight limit for his fight with O Dowd.

    It might be interesting to contemplate how, PBF's results would look , if he was fighting ranked contenders across three weight divisions ,on an almost weekly basis , instead of fighting once a year?

    Very mature. What fighters on film have a better defence than Floyd? At least provide a counter argument, instead of throwing out an insult like a 10 year old

    Is that a serious question? Floyd isn't on Starling's level. Let alone Locche's. I would suggest you stay on the general, 'boxing genius'?!?! Have you only started watching boxing in the last year?

    come on dude, he has very good defense. GREAT defense but whitaker is more multi layered, less predictable and just as effective against better opposition

    Whitaker was just as effective against better opposition? I'm not so sure about that. Have you seen Mayweather v Marquez, it was a clinic of the highest level, against a highly skilled ATG in Marquez. Floyd has faced most styles, and his defence has been highly effective, no matter who he's faced.

    To the above poster, can you explain to me how these fighters have a superior defence to Mayweather? I've followed Floyd's whole career, and I honestly believe he has the greatest defence ever in the sport. Against Ortiz, he was shoulder rolling southpaw straights, and countering with right hands.

    Do you think it makes your point more valid when you throw out childish insults?
