I think he was fast footed and understood where to be and where not to be, very nimble boxer he broke the old mould of fighting only one way around, as he mixed it up and fought square on but used unorthodox footwork to stay out of harms way so was hard to hit flush. Sadler gave him some decent fights but I think he is questionable himself skill wise,the fights dont look like they have got much percussive smack in the punches like some of the modern guys, but he would probably win on points against anyone average. The modern Mexican lesser weights would have stalked him down and gone to war if they caught him, dont know how harder hit he could take, dude used to bend with wind but you can only do that for so long I could see a modern fighter ignoring his punches and walking right on through him.
Which version /weight of Floyd they saying he could beat ?
