Chavez Sr, Azumah Nelson, Alexis Arguello
Prime Joel Casamayor too.
Alexis Arguello would've ended up like Genaro Hernandez or even Diego Corrales, he was too basic and not strong nor reckless enough at 130 to give Mayweather problems.
Joel Casamayor would've been a great fight cuz Casamayor was a southpaw but at 130 Floyd was just too strong and too big for Casamayor, it would end up like Mayweather Judah where Casamayor starts strong then Floyd adjusts and pulls away.
Chavez Sr never fought at 130 lbs but it would've been great if he woulda fought Floyd, Chavez had the style that can give Mayweather a lot of trouble but if Meldrick Taylor and Frankie Randall could outbox Chavez, I think Floyd can outbox him too.
I think at 140 he's untouchable. Vs Gatti he looked motivated and sensational. I know its Gatti but in that fight physically Mayweather was a monster and at 28 I think it was a perfect mix of athleticism and maturity.
