Only Tommy Hearns if Tommy got stupid like he did against Ray Leonard.
Duran would kill him and Pryor would at the least put him in the hospital.
Honestly, who has Jr. really faught?
Somebody please give me the example of his "career" defining fight or an example of a true great that he traded leather with.
In reality, Floyd may have beaten Duran at welter/light middle. I don't know much about Aaron Pryor, other than he beat Arguello twice.
After all, Kirkland Laing beat Duran, Wilfred Benitez did and Duran pulled a no mas against Leonard. Other than that, Floyd would be an underdog against the other guys. Leonard and Hearns, those guys would have beaten Mayweather at welter. Roy Jones was better p4p than Mayweather I feel. Whitaker would probably have beaten Mayweather as well, very elusive, quick and a southpaw.
This thread exposes the pure fucking ignorance of many boxing scene posters.
Leonard beat Benitez, Hearns, Duran and Hagler, yet out of 28 people who voted only fucking 3 gave it to Leonard!!
pretty surprising the % of people who think PBF would beat duran and sweet pea... i think pea is a better boxer and duran would do like Castillo only worse...
I can see Floyd beatin all of them except Jones Jr and Pryor maybe Hearns, the reason i say this is becuz i honestly feel the only guys that will even have a chance against Floyd are guys that have both superior boxing skills and power in both hands with a touch of speed......... I believe Floyd is a better PURE BOXER then Leonard and could stay away and close enough to out box him with his simple 1-2........ Duran i compare to Oscar a guy whose a little big man with both speed and power but not exceptional at either one against just as good opponents......... Sweet pea is my guy but Floyds defense is just as good as his and his Boxing Ability is superiorer........ I think Jones Jr beats him with his great speed, boxing ability reflexes and power........ I say if pryor had a shot to beat him it would be early and with Pyrors power in both hands and ability to get inside on just about any1 he could do it..... Now Hearns maybe if he could catch him or keep him at the end of his jab early!
umm roy jones would knock floyd out
if they met at a catch weight 154
roy would knock all them out lol
but id like floyd against lal them
herns jab would give him lots of problems
pryor was too wild and woul dbe counterd
all day.
lenord woul dbe a great fight lenord had better
offense but floyd had better defense
duran would look like oscar fight cept
duran lands harder shots but wa sslower
And to Detroit, Corrales was a good win, but again not even close to the level of those guys mentioned in the poll. Corrales would get KO'ed by every single one in devastating fashion except for Sweet Pea.
LOL i knew this would happen,alot of people also said this,as soon as Floyd beats Oscar he would be classed as ' past it and old '
If i remember correcly a whole lot of people were picking him to win by KO,on fightnews.com a pole had DLH 60% KO
You and I both know those werent really fight fans. Just casual fans that bought into the good guy bad guy shit. I picked Floyd to win by UD easily. Oscar fought like 2 fights in the three years prior to that fight. He is past his best. How can you guys deny that?
You guys are saying Hearns, but I think he has the least chance against Hearns. His chin wont come into play. SRL still had really good power at that weight. And Hearns took Cueves' shots just fine.
Id like to think he would be able to beat some of those guys, but how would we know when he hasnt faced anybody close to their caliber. And dont start calling out names like Castillo, Judah, or DLH. Oscar was past it, and isnt on the level of those guys anyways. Same with the other two, they arent as good. I just dont see it happening.

any intersting fight would be with RJ... they have a similar pot shotting style... few jabs, mostly leading with the left hook and right cross... PBF is better defensivley, but RJ hits harder...
I think it would be a helluva fight really but don't expect either of them to rush eachother.
