...imagine in that second round that Floyd was fighting Tommy Hearns or Tito Trinidad.....DESTROYED! I stand by it. Sugar Ray Robinson would have massacred Floyd that's just an outright FACT and Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Alexis Arguello in their primes would be EXTREMELY difficult for Floyd to beat.

And that being said Floyd has fought faded (still very good but faded admit it) versions of Shane Mosley (taking nothing away from this fight, Floyd amazed me with his speed and ability to survive and then come back and fight) and Oscar De la Hoya and Shane hurt him badly and Oscar did very well and without his normal trainer in his corner and Ricky Hatton & Marquez outside their true weight classes when they had shown nothing great in those higher weight classes.

Yes Floyd is great but just like people criticize Marciano for fighting old guys what about Floyd? Yes Floyd is great, yes he's THE dominant fighter of his era (he may share that with Manny until they fight) and he'll go down in history as one of the greatest but I put an astrisk next to his name because if he was really out to proove he was the best he'd schedule fights like Miguel Cotto does and just fight the toughest guys out there instead of hand picking guys.

Floyd's great but let's just not get ahead of ourselves...Tommy Hearns would whip his ass yes it's a fact
