    Default Floyd vs prime fighters?

    We all know, and some don't want to admit that floydmfights great fighters when they are way past their prime. I want to know who has Floyd fought in their prime and destroyed?

    What happens if Floyd faces Shane, Oscar, magarito or anyone in their prime.
    Do y'all think the magarito who beat cotto would beat Floyd. Why didn't Floyd fight Paul Williams.

    I think floyds kryptonite is a boxer with skills, heart, and is will willing to throw punches.

    Floyd is undefeated but who is his standout fight. Who did he defeat that was in there prime and is know as one of the greatest?

    I think Corrales is probably the best win of this sort. Chico was rated top 5 p4p at the time (maybe 6) and Floyd utterly destroyed him.

    Floyds not that great. All his wins were very lucky and im sure he would have beaten by a prime margocheato. Margacheato has amazing hand skills and brilliant footwork..no wonder floyd avoided him.
    Watching margacheato fight is pure poetry and he will be a hof..lol
    Any fighter floyd fights in the prime or out of it he adjusts to suit that level.
    Stop hating and being jealous. Respect his skills.

    The thing is chris, there will always be reasons to hate floyd and discredit him but just keep paying to see him loose as its never gonna happen.

    Ps: dont forgot mosely in his prime, i seem to recall him having a bad tooth that prevented this fight from happening many moons ago. And cotto ducking him, the list goes on..

    There is a difference between hating and asking a question. I would rather hear from people who are not floyd dick riders with a pic of him. I want to hear from people who enjoy the sport of boxing to see great fights as I do with an unbiased opinion. Based off your sarcastic response i would assume you are a floyd dick rider.

    I agree, recall talking to my brother before that fight & it seemed a like a 50/50 fight. Chico the puncher, Floyd the boxer. Were we surprised @ how easily Floyd handled him & won that fight!

    I thought Mosley had been calling Floyd out since the early 2000's? I had also heard that the reason that Mayweather retired the first time after Hatton was because his next fights would have been De la Hoya rematch or a possible fight with Cotto?

    Good thread. It's definitely a good discussion and I can see why people say that PBF didn't destroy anyone in their primes apart from Chico.

    The way I look at it is PBF has handled his opponents with relative ease and no one has faced the same opponents and dismantled them the same way. give or take 1 or 2.

    Yea that's what I also heard. Didn't de la come of a 2 year lay off to fight Floyd? I remember seeing the jab working for de la until he got tired. And de la was past his prime that fight

    Floyd beating Oscar at light middle was an excellent performance, beating an unbeaten Corrales, even an undefeated Ricky, beating Manfredy and Hernandez were also good wins.

    Just wanted to ask you guys if you think pac is still in his prime or not because g3org3 neg rep'd me saying he isn't. I think he still is, the reason he didn't look good against Marquez and Mosley is because they didn't just come forward or stand there taking shots. They moved around and away from Pacquiao's left and pac being the fighter he is didn't know how to deal with it, making him look not as special as when guy walk to him. I believe the cramps are just an excuse if not then Ariza isn't doing a good job. I don't mean any disrespect to pac but people sometimes have to understand that their favourite fighter isn't perfect and is mortal.

    Floyd doesnt really struggle with anyone. And please no mention of the d word this is a straight forum.
    👍

    When a prime undefeated hatton fought floyd at the weigh in i thought floyd might be in trouble in this one as hatton is a lovable character but looked in excellent condition. But he took all hatton could give him and put on a master class.

    As a floyd fan i still cant knock pacs achievements but i always wonder if pac never fought marquez at all how much more of a icon he would be.

    The three marquez fights showed that even on paper pac has all the advantages but against a mexican warrior like marquez the result will always be the same.. Thats why marquez 4 will not be next but cotto will be at 147.

    Pac Man is on the slide and he should have fought Floyd when he was buzzing when he was beating Cotto and Marg.
