and are we comparing a 37 year old floyd to a 37 year old hears, SRL? because we know they were getting their ass whooped out of their prime.

Robert Guerrero is suing GB and they STILL tried to match him up with Keith Thurman (which he turned down), Amir Khan (which Khan turned down) and he's fighting a Japanese Jobber in July:manny:

Prime Thomas Hearns would beat Prime Floyd. I think Prime Floyd would beat Prime Duran and Prime SRL though

it wasnt. I tell people this all the time. he was stopped 3 times in almost 70 fights. once at his natural weight WW but he didnt go down...he wasnt KOed. the other two times at MW against excellent punchers. that is not what constitutes as glass at all. his chin was pretty good to me.

Ain't like Ward should be expecting a lot of bread for those fights anyway. If he gets a mil or 1.5 he should be thankful.

and nobody is comparing this Floyd (37 years old) against SRL and Hearns. We talking his physical prime. I'd say anywhere between the Zab and Mosley fights. Yeah he ain't the natural welterweight that SRL and Hearns are, but he's campaigned at the weight long enough where it shouldn't be an excuse. Hearns had a glas chin, but it's not like Floyd got the power to do something about it. He'd lack the reach to get their as well.

If you think he beats those guys than that's your opinion breh. I can't change that, nor will I try. I'll just respectfully disagree with it.

No, they tried to match him up with them and then he file the suit. They put him on ice after that. Now that the suit was thrown out and guess what? They are lining up a fight for him.

Prime Thomas Hearns would beat Prime Floyd. I think Prime Floyd would beat Prime Duran and Prime SRL though

I agree. I also think Aaron Pryor wouldve beaten Floyd as well. again though...any of these fighters could beat each other. if it were in SRR days though and they fought each other 6 x each....Floyd would more than hold his own in any era. he just wouldnt be the best.

But people are making judgment based on his last fight. nikkas was reaching when they thought he was unbeatable against canelo.

Also nikkas got to stop taking away credit for what chino did. He made it a hard fight. It was very hard to score. It is what it is.

One underrated mythical match up people hardly talk about is prime Floyd against prime Quartey. Now that would be a fukking fight. I'd favor Floyd, but he'd have hell trying to take away that damn jab

Exactly.

And I wasnt gonna bring up The Hawk breh:youngsabo:

Greatest Junior Welterweight ever, SRL didnt even want that work from Aaron Pryor:sas2:

I agree, Aaron Pryor would beat Floyd as well. If Floyd fought in the 80s, he'd have multiple losses (:whoa: 2-3 or losses), but he would still be an elite fighter at 147. SRL, Floyd, Duran, Hearns would've all beat each other up.

I always thought Floyd would lose to Duran, SRL, and Hearns. I didn't need a rough and tumble fight with Maidana to come to that conclusion.

It's no slight on an ATG to lose to another ATG.

I never took away any credit from Chino. I'm one of the main cats in here saying he fought a decent fight and made shyt competitive.
