    The 154 lb Rocky that loved beating up on welters vs PBF.

    If Rocky can beat Zale, and be competitive with SRR, then I think
    Graziano TKO's PBF in a short fight.

    Rocky was tougher because he was born in the 20's. He would out tough him. Grit. Tough. Tough.

    I wanna exhume Rocky's grave so that Larry Merchant can use Graziano's bones to beat Mayweather with.

    At welter Floyd fought Mitchell, Judah, Baldomir, Hatton, Marquez, Mosely, Ortiz and Guerrero.

    I would say the Judah was his toughest fight at that weight. Judah was giving Mayweather a seriously hard fight but, Mayweather figured out how to counter Judah's aggression, at the same time Judah lost focus and unraveled. Hatton was a tough fight, early. That seems to be the pattern for Floyd at this weight. The fight is a little tough at the begining and then he settles in and completely takes over.

    Mayweather stylically would be one of Rocky's toughest challenges. The problem is Mayweather does not hit hard enough or move enough at this weight to really stay away from Rocky. Rolling his shoulder will not cut it because Rocky is not going to miss that close. If Mayweather catches a shot from Rocky that Mosely hit him with, that could be the ballgame. Mayweather has to really stick and move. Personally, just as skilled fighters tried to out box Graziano and ended up on the floor.

    Floyd with what he accomplished at 147 ain't getting in the ring with the Rock ,who will weight eight more pounds that him, and win the fight.

    Graziano on points. Floyd is reduced to moving and defense, with very limited exchanges.
