Pryor, Leonard, Hearns, Robinson, Armstrong ALL beat Floyd

[Ron Swanson]

Maybe. The only sure thing is they are all bigger than Floyd.

Yes because Floyd started at a lower weight and Manny at even lower weight. They are not true welterweights in that sense. There is no shame saying they would get beat by these greats.

It is the equivalent of saying Ezzard Charles would beat Sugar Ray Robinson and Hearns at light heavy. As if was not their best fighting weights.

we shall see how he deals with pacman. I always thought pryor would murder floyd. and now hes fighting a quick, powerful volume puncher i can finally see how it would of gone down.

And pryor is more powerful than pacquiao at 140.

Floyd has a good defense as I have said he is the best now as we speak, as size goes Duran beat
Iran Barkley a much bigger fighter,for the middle weight title.
The simple facts are the competition was with out doubt, a lot stiffer then and you had to be special
to hold a title, it was a golden era in boxing in my opinion.
The Champions and contenders were far superior, to what Floyd has faced but you can only beat
who is about at the time.
Floyd will go down in history as a great fighter, weather you like him or not I just give a opinion
on what I have seen past or present.

Its a massive compliment to Floyd that he is being mentioned in the same breath as these guys.

hearns is all wrong for Floyd, and I do think the Duran that beat Leonard would have been very competitive with him.

I'd love to have seen Floys against peak welterweight Ray Leonard. Both are great thinkers and tacticians, both excellent technicians with guts and good chins. Ray was maybe the more concussive puncher.

I'd also like to have seen Floyd against the Don Curry who wiped out Milton McCrory
