Floyd's Potential

[wpink1]

your dad sees like all of us, floyd looking great against subpar opposition. theres a reason why ali, duran, hagler, hearns, leonard, etc all have losses on their record and didnt look as good as floyd, they fought all the best competition in their careers. cant say the same for floyd. floyd will never clean out the ww division. he didnt come back for that, he came back for a couple big money fights.

Are you ****ing nuts. Leonard had a lose on his record to Roberto Duran, who unlike people try to portray on here, did not move up and immediately face him. He had 8 fights at 147 before he fought Ray, and to prove he was a solid welter, he moved on up after his loss to ray, and won the 154 and 160 titles, vs younger champions.

You have to look at the quality. Leonard,hearns all would not Have any losses on their records fighting, judah, baldomir, jmm, shot dlh,,etc. what a joke.

Ohh another thing, Mayweather was also at jr welter/welter, according to the rules that leonard and hearns fought at. they had to weight in the day of. Mayweeater weighs in the day before, then replenishes and adds water weight etc. and comes in the right 5-10 pounds heavier. You could not do that back then as addin this type of weight on after a morning weigh in, does too many negative things to a boxer

All those fighters were fighting eachother in their prime. If Mayweather took a back seat and waited for all them to destroy eachother then he would only beat them when they're
vulnerable.

I dont think Leonard would've waited for Tommy to fight hangler and Duran to then step in the ring with him. the fact that he fought those guys a number of times shows alot.

You need to relax, quit making assumptions. Let him do his thing and judge him at the end. Maybe he is back to clean the division, only time will tell.
