i know you didn't ask who floyd missed, i'm saying if fmj fought the hatton who beat tszyu @ 140, my $, if i was a betting dude, would have been on hatton...especially if the fight is outside the us...same in a fantasy fight with terry norris @ 147....i got norris by ko
Youre the type who bets with his heart, not head. A bookie's dream.
At 130, Floyd's best weight, would most likely be favoured over anyone in that weight in history
The focus is money. If that much money is at steak, I'm going with Floyd in any weight class he competed in. IMO he is the safest bet over anybody. Don't translate that into "Floyd will beat anybody in history".... I'm saying nothing more than he is the SAFEST bet.
Floyd gets the luxury of being multi dimensional, great all around, no knock on him neither but I can name plenty of fighters who would have taken away some of his dimensions, more than match him at infighting, clinches, outbox him, guys who are physically stronger and more athletically gifted. It's easy to say you wouldn't bet against Floyd, but say Floyd was Pernell Whitaker's opponent or Roberto Duran's, I wouldn't bet against those guys neither.
I see. Honestly, I'd put my money on prime Whitaker against any fighter in history.
Out of all the current fighters, gun to head situation, I'd put my money on Mayweather vs anybody.
Whitaker is a smart choice. Again, I can't emphasize this enough.... I'm not saying "Floyd will beat anybody in history". All I'm saying is that he is the safest bet.... the most trustworthy IMO when big money is on the line. I'd have to pick Floyd over Sweet Pea.
