Floyd's abilities get **** here because you need to have been in the ring to really understand how smart and downright good he is, which most of you haven't. It's easy to see why he as a person takes ****, but as a fighter, the stuff he does, is really incredible.
Such a good fighter. Just the little things as well, like tagging them with a lead right hand, and then anticipating and rolling under the counter hook. For example.
You Forgot Floyd's best best attributes!! The DUCKING!! That one that keeps him undefeated.

I'd need a link before I believe the "easy" wins for those guys. And the only one I see him possibly losing to by KO is Hearns.
That said I'd bet my house Floyd doesn't make it through that list undefeated.

Sugar Ray Robinson-Definitely beats Floyd, and easy.
Ray Leonard-Wins a decision, not quite easily but nearly.
Tommy Hearns-Dude's a monster and horrible style matchup, he KOs Floyd.
Aaron Pryor-Close competitive fight, he does not certainly beat Floyd.
Pernell Whitaker-Damn tough fight at any weight except welter, where I think Sweet Pea would win comfortably. I'd take Whitaker because his flashiness would earn him points.
Roberto Duran-I'm taking him at any weight in a close but clear fight.
Oscar De La Hoya-No matter the weight, this fight would be very close and look a lot like the one they had, except Oscar would be faster and not so helpless against Floyd's reflexes and counter punching.
Alexis Arguello-Floyd beats him. Floyd's speed and style would be really bad for Arguello.
Pretty ridiculous to say all these fighters definitely beat Floyd, the only ones I think would definitely beat him are Robinson, Leonard,Hearns, and Duran. And as far as Duran, I can't say 100% that he beats Mayweather.
-Ray Robinson-Via Easy Decision - I would think KO
-Ray Leonard-Via Decision - Probably late TKO
-Thomas Hearns-Via KO - Correct
-Aaron Pryor-Via TKO - Floyd could probably decision Pryor
-Pernell Whitaker-Via Easy Decision - I think it should be change to comfortable decision.
-Henry Armstrong-Via KO - Correct
-Roberto Duran Via Decision - I'm going for KO/TKO
-Oscar De La Hoya (Lightweight) Via Easy Decision - VERY easy decision
-Sandy Saddler-Via One Sided Decision - Either late KO/TKO Saddler or DQ win Floyd
-Alexis Arguello-Via KO - Floyd Decsion, bad style match-up
-Ray Robinson-Via Easy Decision

i think floyd would outbox arguello, alexis would have a punchers chance and it would be close but i would favor floyd. i think a fight with saddler would be competetive and not one sided but i would favor saddler to win. floyd would beat a prime oscar imo, he would outpoint him jsut as clearly as he did at 154. ray robinson would knock floyd out, he would completely demolish him imo.
other than that i agree, duran might stop floyd also.

It's stupid to speculate this way.Mayweather wanted DelaHoya long back,Hoya thought otherwise.ALl these people claiming Floyd would lose,Floyd beat people of his generation and he did it well.SOmetimes people hold on to the past too much
henry armstrong would most certaintly not KO floyd mayweather jr.
I don't think so either. But his aggression and work rate would arguably carry him to a decision.
I agree, most beat him easily. I'd love to see Floyd fight Pernell, Floyd would be getting skunked while Sweet Pea laughs at him and plays to the crowd. A young, prime DLH would bust Floyd up good. SRL and SRR....they would be blowouts on points. Pryor and Hearns...ko's for sure. I don't think Floyd could beat any of those guys...even Duran would bully Floyd against the ropes in an ugly fashion.
mayweather is not an easy win for anybody.only 2 on that list i would make floyd and underdog would be against hearns,and robinson
Leonard has to be a prohibitive favorite also.
Its retarded to compare fighters from different eras with fighters from other eras, cause truth be told. NONE of the **** them fighters did then would happen in this era. BET THAT
It would be interesting to watch how those guys would get after Floyd, certainly bigger guys with great jabs are everyones kyrtonite though.
I also dont think Oscar deserves to be anywhere near that list.
Mayweather would most likely use his legs to score a decision decision over Alexis Arguello.Arguello had very slow,quite clumsy footwork that Mayweather would take advantage of.If Mayweather tried to fight in the pocket with Arguello - which is something he did quite often at the lower weights - then this gives Arguello the opportunity to break him down with his own impressive body attack.
Mayweather would soundly outbox Aaron Pryor and make him look stupid in doing so.The one and only slick boxer who Pryor fought was a gentleman by the name of Gary Hinton - who throughly outboxed Pryor over 15 rounds but was robbed of a decision.Pryor is too stupid and too limited a boxer to deal with Mayweather.
There can be no doubt that Sugar Ray Leonard would render Mayweather unconscious.Mayweather can make it competitive,match Leonard with his own jab in the middle of the ring.But Leonard was a master at pacing himself and at switching up styles over the course of a fight.Leonard's versatility is what will beat Mayweather.He's catching Mayweather down the stretch,and when he does,he will finish him.
As long as Mayweather doesn't "fight the wrong fight",he should outbox Duran over the distance.Mayweather's handspeed,and most importantly his footwork would be the key to beating Duran.As long as Mayweather picks his shots,never becomes a stationary target,he will beat Duran.And you could never rule out the possibility of Duran quitting.
I can't see any possible scenario in which Mayweather could beat Hearns.Attempting to play counter puncher and box someone like Hearns,who has comparable speed to Mayweather himself would be suicide.The only way for Mayweather to beat Hearns would be by pressuring Hearns,putting himself in the target zone and looking to grind Hearns down - which I don't believe Mayweather is durable enough to do so.
Whitaker vs Mayweather is a fascinating encounter at any weight they choose(from 135-154).There's no real edge in speed between the two,or in power.Neither have the strength to push the other back,and both are tremendous athletes with great reflexes.I tend to think that this is a fight in which Whitaker,tired and frustrated by Mayweather while boxing on the outside,would look to push the fight at close quarters and engage Mayweather there.I'd perhaps favour Whitaker,for his more consistent work,but this really is a pick'em fight.
i thought you got banned?
manny pacduckio is p4p 1 catchweight king, fights hand picked fighters. wouldnt fight shane mosley, roach said shane your too good hahaha. floyd offered to pay marquez 1mill to step aside, manny quickly signed to fight cotto after weeks of uncertainty in negotiations hahaha........ floyd asked manny to step up to the plate, hell no manny wanted cotto as cotto looked pathetic since margorito and was thier for the taken. hahahahahahaha, p4p no1? by beating which no. 1,2 or 3 in the world?
i think you also need a "vacation":bottle:
