A lot of people talk a bunch of ish about how this guy would have beat Floyd or that guy. Personally, I highly doubt that these same people, behind closed doors, would put a large amount of money where their mouth is.
I don't care who you mention at 147, 140, 135 or 130 (which ever version of Floyd we're dealing with), if I had a full years income on the line the safest bet I'd chose is Floyd by decision against any fighter in history.
So if you make $40k/yr and you bet against Floyd then you'd work a full year with no pay. If Floyd wins you get a $40,000 check. If you ask me, Floyd is the safest bet against anybody.
Who else would you bet your money on and why? You HAVE to bet on somebody.
Sugar Ray Leonard breaks Floyd down like a champ just like he did to his daddy.
A prime Mosley would even give Floyd trouble. A prime Cotto could beat Floyd and so could Pac now.
Overrating??
You can ask anyone in the professional boxing world and Mayweather is regarded as having the best defense in the game. Dude sees punches before they're even thrown. Been boxing since a kid. May spars with heavyweights, real heavyweights and hold his own. SRL defense is not better than May's.
What's next you going to tell me Hearns will knock Whitaker? Man gtfoh
Did I say that Leonards defense was better than Mayweather's or that you're overrating it. Yes Mayweather can be knocked out when hes facing someone whos 6 t 1 with a 6 inch reach advantage, with a monstrous jab, who moves in the ring just as fast as he can and has got handspeed to almost match, except his hands are loaded with power
Mayweather doesn't have the same physical dimensions to match Leonard doesnt have his firepower and Hearns aggressive jab would be on him all night. Floyds a great fighter but when your best weight is 130- Im sorry Hearns is too much for him. It isnt sacrilege to say he gets knocked out when he has this much disadvantages.
I think Barrera beats Floyd at 130
I think Chavez beats Floyd at 130, 135 or 140
I think Duran beats Floyd at 135
I think Pryor beats Floyd at 135 or 140
I think Leonard beats Floyd at 147
I think Starling beats Floyd at 147
I think Trinidad beats Floyd at 147
I think Camacho beats Floyd at any weight
That may sound like a lot but its certainly not considering it spans over 4 weight classes. Floyd is one of toughest matchups ever.
no hearns?

Lol as if its so easy to ko Leonard, who was natural and at his absolute best at Welterweight, does Mayweather fight like Leonard at Welterweight? no. Stop overrating Floyds defence, Hearns knocks him out.

eh. fantasy bets are tuff because ppl get butthurt...I'd bet on floyd against anybody in those weight classes from the late 80s til the present. Its hard to pin him up against guys like hearns and srl because they have a big height advantage. I dont think he'll get demolished but i definitly wouldn't bet on floyd in those two bouts.
Dude Tommy couldnt even ko SRL and Mayweather has the best defense in the boxing history, period

There is absolutely no way Floyd beats Hearns at 147. Floyd gets demolished and KTFO in that fight.
Also Duran get in his ass at any weight and probably stops him as well.
I would favour Hearns by 80-20.
Leonard - 60-40.
Whitaker - 50/50. Maybe lean towards Pea but not with much conviction.
Duran @ Lightweight - 50/50. If I had a gun to my head, I'd go with Floyd.
Absolutely hilarious :lol1:
sigs & title
Castillo beat him.....so there goes that.

also Hearns, Duran, and a prime De la hoya ...
but that's just my humble opinion

leonard was ko'd by camacho and yet hearns couldn't even ko him. how the hell is he gonna ko mayweather? these people.............:smashfrea:smashfrea:smashfrea
do you see how SRL win??? SRL go in there and brawl with Tommy, he got permanent eye injury and win after Tommy gassed out. never see it happening with mayweather. in twelve round rule, Tommy k.o mayweather or battered him in twelve rounds.

I'd bet on Floyd every time. I can see some pretty good fights with guys like Meldrick Taylor, Pernell Whitaker, Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran or Aaron Pryor but I think he beats them all. Even against Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito, or Tsyzu. The only person I'd be iffy about would be if Floyd were to come across a Roy Jones in his prime.
