Thread: I change my mind about Peter Quillin

I dont like to change my tune but after reviewing Quillin's career set, I have a totally different view..

He's certainly not the best MW lol nowhere near it.. it's like watching a fine ass girl but once u fuck her and see her naked, u realize she's not what u thought she was..

I was studying him real closely and im thinking, Floyd would beat him...

If Floyd wants to do something spectacular and shut everybody up, he should fight Quillin.. EZ fight to make too..

It would be impressive but people could still call it cherry picking.

I'd much rather he face GGG.

It'd be very risky but Golovkin is also more Floyd's size and reach.

Beating GGG would be spectacular. As would getting KOd by him lol

I think Quillin would win by ko... Quillin is really a ready Super Middle that should be a LH, but decides to fight at MW because he can and he can stay in shape for it.

He sure messed up a comebacking winky wright not that that's much indication but still.

Have you seen the Fury fight yet? That may change your mind about him.

Floyd fighting Quillin would be akin to Jones fighting Ruiz. Public perception is that Quillin is the weakest of the champs at 160, like Ruiz was at the time Jones beat him. That perception probably mirrors reality too. It's still a risk though, yet one that is likely to go unrecognized. So you end up with the risk of fighting someone 2 weight divisions above you without the cache that comes with 'Heavyweight Champion of the World' that Jones got. Why wouldn't Floyd just fight Shawn Porter? Wouldn't the risk reward deal be about the same?

Also your analogies are fairly cringeworthy.

Quillen-Floyd like Ruiz-RJJ?!?!?!

Petey can punch man...he's much more of a dangerous fighter than John Ruiz was.


That said Floyd will never fight a middleweight

If Cotto beats Martinez he'll be odds on to fight at middle

I think Quillin would smother him and maul him... Quillin won't be afraid of taking a shot and will catch Floyd in the cross-hairs.
