What particularly fast fighters did Floyd not fight, other than Pacquiao and Khan?
Floyd would avoid Hearns at all costs. Not that he couldn't find a way to beat him. Everyone has a weakness, but Hearns was a tall, hard punching welter that knew how to use his reach and and straight punches and didn't just throw it away to fight a short mans fight (like corrales or paul williams). Hearns was mean and in order to go in and out work hearns, floyd would have to go into the lions den. I just dont see him risking it.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
