I'd like to see that fight, but Floyd would be a clear favorite. He's much more adaptable and dynamic than Forrest ever was.
I think it's a fairer match-up than Bruce Lee vs. Mike Tyson. Floyd and Lee are roughly the same size.
Henry Armstrong, Duran,Emile Griffith, Jose Napoles, Benny Leonard, SRL, SRR, Tommy Hearns, Mike McCallum, all IMHO. Having written that, I believe he would have avoided half of them.
It would be interesting because Bruce lees iq was just as good as Floyds, and his hands just as fast. I think SRL complimented Bruce Lee alot and said he copied his jab from Lee.
There are so many welterweights of the past who would have wiped the floor with this egotistical knob. Jack Britton, Kid Lewis, Tommy Ryan........ oh to hell with naming them all,... there are 30 better welters than this blow hard.
Yeah, that Honeyghan would have given him a serious test early on. Would have made for an interesting matchup.
