I agree. Hearns is a nightmare match up for floyd. A good rangy boxer with fast hands and serious power. Naturally he'd have been destroyed by the marvellous one too if he stepped up to Middleweight but why if he were in his right mind would he do that?
All jokes aside nobody wants/wanted anything to do with Randall Bailey due to his one punch knockout ability. An average boxer sure but that power was an equalizer. Who wants any part of that? Mike Jones found out the hard way...
Man these idiots make things up lol There's a vid showing Floyd calling all these people they say he ducked out lol
LMFAO! I shouldn't even bother responding to this one. You obviously don't know your history though. Tszyu's the one who had zero interest in fighting Floyd. Floyd publically called Kostya out. Tszyu went onto to fighting Hatton. Can't really blame him, because at the time Hatton was a MUCH bigger draw in the UK than Floyd was in the US. Also, I'm sure Tszyu and his team saw Hatton as a far more winnable fight than Floyd.
2005 was a past-prime Tszyu. You're correct on that. Floyd can't punch though? That's pretty false. Floyd would have beaten the crap outta Tszyu in 05. Woulda been one sided. 99 Tszyu vs prime Floyd is a more competitive fight, but no, Tszyu still doesn't win. He'd drop a clear UD.
At 140 Floyd could punch. Be real with yourself Floyd would have schooled and TkOed Tszyu at any point in their respective career. The right hand Tszyu landed on Zab wouldn't not have landed on Floyd. Even if it did land Floyd is crafty enough to tie Tszy up and continue schooling him. At 140 Floyd not only had he's skills but also was one of the most athletic fighter in history. Again be real with yourself.
In Tszyu's defense, most ******s here know nothing about Vince Philips, and just write him off as a "crack head". Vince was a damn good fighter when he was at his best. He just had a VERY short prime because he wasn't a dedicated trainer, and he did struggle with drug addiction. Still doesn't mean that Tszyu beats Floyd, I'm just saying.........
Duckweather took two mandatories to get fight Gatti instead of going for the lineal champ KT now compare that to ATG Alexis Arguello who could have easily went the safer route in order to win his a title in his fourth division by picking on a weak titlist but like the real fighter and ATG that he was he went and took on Aaron Pryor, thats the difference between an ATG like Arguello and a cherrypicker like duckweather, one takes on the toughest challenges available one cherrypicks and takes the easy route to the title.
