Spot on! The most annoying thing is that Floyd will taunt Manny but will never fight him. They could have had a trilogy by now! Floy'd lucky that he wasn't around in the late 70's-80's. His record would be littered with L's.
Foxy 01 if you think Pacquiao is a 'beefed up flyweight' you are ******ed. At flyweight he was an extremely drained giant. He is no more natural a flyweight than George Foreman. He was likely a super bantam/feather then and has been a lightweight since. He is a nice sized welter there. About the same size as Floyd.
Floy'd lucky that he wasn't around in the late 70's-80's. His record would be littered with L's.[/quote] Yes I reckon his dad and uncle would tell him just that. Seems to me he has everything on his ledger except great rivalries. I wonder if money and his "o" will be so important to him 10-20 years from now when he looks back, knowing what he could have done? If he was around in the late 70s / early 80s I would like to see him fight Pryor, Arguello and Benitez over 15. That would make a great resume even before he could think about Duran, Hearns and Leonard.
hard to fault a guy that's 38 and still hasnt come close to losing at 130 I'd say Camacho, possibly Arguello 135 the great benny Leonard, possibly Duran 147, Robinson, Napoles but not Leonard (who always had problems with speedy boxers) so the list is short and yet very exclusive
Harry Greb Jose Naples Donald Curry Milton Mccrory Marlon Starling Bobby Joe Young Ray Leonard Thomas Hearns Roberto Duran Hector Camacho Howard Davis Jr. Jimmy Paul.
So, you don`t see Hearns leaving him a quivering wreck on the canvas within 6 rds ??? What`s your take on the true ATG Norris,against PBF at jr. middle ??
Curry had a good chance when he was hot but Starling has NO CHANCE McCrory - no chance BJY - no chance Leonard has a better chance but his chances are still low. Floyd bewitches, bothers, N bewilders SRL on his way to a UD Hearns with his height N reach can keep Floyd on the outside and Floyd cant hurt him on the inside so his chances are good Howard Davis, HELL NO. Howard always lost important fights and this would be no different. He couldnt even get past Jim Watt Jimmy Paul was a flash in the pan and went nowhere with his IBF paper title
did he have H Weston in a quivering wreck in 6 rounds or Randy SHields? actualy u cant compare them shells with Floyd, THE premier fighter of his time making mega millions per fight Floyd has skills, movement, intelligence, speed unlike early hitman opposition where do u get your ideas from that Hearns, a stick thin fighter with limited stamina, and a suspect chin, is just going to bomb him out???? a decision yes, a heap of quivering flesh, fantasy
