    How does does Sal deal with Floyd? 15 rounds.

    He's really versatile and a great tactician, i think Floyd would win to be honest. He is actually strong as well, and fighting a naturally lighter man. Sorry Al. I might be wrong though. Sal Sanchez is one of my fave ring generals.

    Sal's one of my faves as well but i see this as being a bad fight for him as well, much as I don't like PBF as you know.
    I think I'll make tis over 15 see if it makes any difference.

    As much as i love Sanchez, I think Floyd would beat him. Sanchez struggled with the speed of the likes of Pat Cowdell and Pat Ford.

    I feel Mayweather would just be to fast and to good defensivley for Sanchez and take a UD win.

    To be honest I'm not sure going 15 would bother floyd at all...he's very well conditioned!!!

    Not a great stylistic fight for Sanchez and the size factor will play a huge part here (only 4lbs though I guess).

    I don't like theoretical matches so soon after one of them has fought, I find it difficult to get their recent performance out of my mind and Floyd was pretty much flawless last night.

    Tough call.Sanchez was the proven 15 round fighter, but Mayweather has the skills to trouble him.I'll say Salvador by a hair.

    i wrote in another thread that mayweather is at WORST the 2nd best 130 pound fighter ever behind arguello. h2h, he's probably the best

    sanchez was uncomfortable against nelson and i see mayweather's movement and pinpoint accuracy serving as a wonderful counterbalance to sanchez's own shots

    i just see the bigger, faster mayweather utilizing the movement and economy needed to outpoint sanchez after dragging him deep
