You always hear people lauding the supreme technique of Floyd but rarely do you hear them actually describe it. To me Floyd's greatest and most vital assest isn't his hand speed but his ability to cover distance, land a punch and not be countered. Now Roy shared the same ability except that he was faster and could do it spontaenously from any angle. What makes it even more amazing is the power that he could deliver whilst seemingly not being set. Floyd on the other hand is methodical and needs to be properly prepared. Floyd's defence is superior but in my honest opinion his offence is completey eclipsed by Roy. Anything he can do, the leaping left hooks and lead right hands, check left hooks, counters etc. Roy can do better. I've never been much of a fan of Floyd's actual raw hand speed as much as I am of his footwork, footspeed and ability to time his opponents rhythm and movement to the point where he can potshot and remain unscathed. I can't see him being able to do this against Roy. Floyd's fought some great attacking fighters but none who also had the counter punching skillset of Roy. I think he would be forced to engage and throw more than two punches, a department where I feel Floyd is at his weakest and least comfortable.
