Bud would wash Floyd at any weight....

[THE MACHINE]

Floyd, would have SRL, Hearns and Duran looking like McCall in the ring after taking them test

You think Floyd could wash Hearns at 147? I think he is the one guy that could beat Floyd

Too dumb; the battle is 90% mental and 10% physical....Floyd would fight the first 3-4 rounds in pretty boy mode not allowing a push jab to touch him without Hearns earning it, Hearns then goes into Dummy mode and start getting tee'd off on.....He struggled with SRL and Beneitez what they did to trouble Hearns Floyd was better in those departments collectively

He had a 79" reach though. If he wanted to lay that left out there, Floyd would have to go through hell to connect with him

Through hell.....Floyd is about the best damn clinch fighter ever exactly where he'll slice Hearns up.....Floyd steals the left hand, its a good right that troubled him, its those rights that buzzed Floyd in his career for the most part

sidenote: This sista is so damn sexy

You may be taking it too far...Hearns is probably the most dangerous fighter you could put Floyd in with.

Im saying Hearns too dumb to beat the most mentally strong fighters, Floyd body wanted to drop from some shots like Mosley when and his mind said no.....Simply too dumb to win that dog fight

 

[Skip b]

Hearns dont have the pressure to beat Floyd.....He had length and power but not the pressure to trouble Floyd; fighting at Hearns distance he telegraphs his shots too much for someone with Floyds defensive eye

 

[Lord Bison]

Only fighter I can see beating Floyd was Paul Williams. It's a shame his career got cut from him because eventually Floyd would've been backed into a corner to fight him. No way he'd come out with that 0.

 

[Champ_KW]

I saw Bud struggle early against an off brand version of Shamba Mitchell in Gamboa. Floyd works Bud like he did every other fighter in these last 2 generations.

Agreed

He had a 79" reach though. If he wanted to lay that left out there, Floyd would have to go through hell to connect with him

This is why

Floyd still wins clear 9-3 though.

Floyd needs to respect your jab and you need to be a damn middleweight in the ring to make it count. Crawford won't make Floyd respect anything. If you can't control Floyd geography in the ring, he's going to win going away.

I think srl washes him, that's a nightmare matchup for Floyd

Floyd gotta be fav against anyone, considering he's never lost.

I'm curious how bud looks against top talent

Stylistically Spence is the current welter with the best chance of beating Floyd, not Bud. Matter of fact, I believe it’s damn near documented at this point that Spence was giving Floyd work in sparring.

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

The way Hearns is being described in here, you'd think nikkas is talking about some random ass tall boxing nikka and not a top 50 all time great.
