ABSOLUTELY agree on Hearns, Leonard, Robinson, and hell for me throw in Tito Trinidad, Paul Williams, Sergio Martinez, Vernon Forrest, and Antonio Margarito for that matter. All well skilled and very big...at the very least it would be interesting to see how Floyd would operate without height and reach advantages and vs guys who not only could box but could throw bombs.


Julio Cesar Chavez did make short work of Uncle Roger so he should know the style pretty well. Aaron Pryor and a Prime Shane Mosley would have given Floyd problems, but I think given that the angels of their punches I think that works to Floyd's advantage. I'd also say Meldrick Taylor would have had a shot vs Floyd, big time speed, good pop, a willingness to trade but a guy who burned out too fast.





Alright then......what about Ike Ibeabuchi? Everybody's favorite "What if?"


For what it is worth I think Evander Holyfield would have made him look silly, Lennox Lewis as well,....at that time, Mike Tyson.....meeeh probably not a fight Tyson would have taken but he could have won IMO I mean we'd all expect Tyson to have beaten David Tua right? So why not Ike?
