Look at his location, hes from Grand Rapids. And how in the world did 'Hearns never see a fighter w/ fast twitch movements'? Of course he did, what kind of joke is that. Floyd does not beat Hearns pal.
What fighter was that? It wasn't Leonard who was fast and threw fast punches ... but never used any fast twitch reflexes ... SRL overwhelmed his opponents with fast hands and shoe shine combonations. My location has nothing to do with my opinion ...
Floyd is a counter puncher ... he could either pick off the jab with his right hand (you know his stance) or he could slip the jab and counter with a left uppercut ... he could even pick off the jab and counter over the top with the right hand. All in one motion ... Floyd is very good at countering and his reflexes will play a part in neutralizing that jab.
Too big of a size difference to compare these two, Hearns lowest weight was 147 which is basically around PBF highest.
Then why hasn't he fought more welterweights? And why did he turn down the Margarito offer for 8 million? While PBF is sick, he's not unbeatable. Everyone can be beaten by someone
Hearns would annihilate him,but theres no shame in that.Shows how special Ray Leonard was to beat him at WW. Imagine if the weigh in was earlier like it is these days.Tommy would be MW in there. whatever,he'd win.
Why doesn't he just fight everyone who asks him then? Why has Ricky Hatton not returned my calls? Sersiously Floyd is held to such high standards he will never acheive greatness in some peoples eyes. The fact is though, not one person has even come close to beating him (aside from Castillo, but Floyd made right of that in the rematch.) So until someone, anyone, comes even close to beating him, he's unbeatable.
there is only Cotto he needs to fight at welter....what im anxious to seeing though...is when they fight and if floyd wins what then? Who at welter does he NEED to face now? Also he didnt fight Margo for 8 mill and still made the same plus a belt.....i mean logically wouldnt you?
Nothing wrong with speculation;its another way of saying 'informed opinions'. Weak defense of Floyd though,the fact that it cant be made. Ray Robinson vs Charlie Zelenoff cant be made either ,so any picks are just 'speculation' as well.
Nobody hurts Floyd. Hearns beats him though. But thats what you have to do, go back 20 years to find fighters who would beat Floyd, because we know, today, 154 on down, Floyd dominates.
