Well, most of these are all-time greats, and would give anyone trouble. Whitaker is a pretty big omission from your list. Especially considering that he may the closest comparison to Floyd other than Willie Pep.Originally Posted by Lyle
Of those you listed, I actually think Hearns is the prototype for the type of fighter who could give Floyd trouble. Tall, long fighter with one punch KO power. Guys who need high volume to KO guys (Chavez for example) can't beat a fighter like Floyd because you can't hit him time after time.
Hearns could use his size to constantly keep Floyd within range, and potentially catch him with a straight right.
Trinidad also had one punch KO power, but his left hook wouldn't get to the target nearly as fast as Hearns' right hand.
