when exactly do you consider his prime?...............
I consider any athlete in any mainstream American sport or Soccer, with the exception of Golf, to be past their best form after age 35. I think that is the most widely accepted unofficial magic number for male athletes. Of course, some athletes defy that magic number and compete against the best for longer than that age. Some are unfortunate and fall much shorter than age 35
For example, there's evidence that a 35 year old Floyd (VS Cotto) and older, was a different fighter. Floyd got hit a decent amount of times vs Cotto, Maidana, and Pacquiao, which was coincidentally all fights on or after age 35. I had him winning all of them, but they were all very competitive fights, more competitive than one (who favored Floyd going into those fights) would have anticipated
Thought it was active fighters
The past prime Floyd we saw versus Maidana, Pacquiao and Berto could probably be beaten by many ATG's in a competitive fights

This is a pretty salty ass thread. None of them beat him but Hearns. He is competitive or ahead of anyone near or around his weightclass and his status as an ATG proves it.

Jose Napoles beats him at 130, 135, 140, 147 and 154. At 130 I think only Napoles could beat Floyd. At 135, 140 or 147 I think a serious, well trained Duran had what it took to beat him. Anything less than Duran at his best losses to Mayweather. Hearns is custom made to beat him at 147 and 154. I think Trinidad beats him at 147 and 154. I think very few if any other boxers can beat Mayweather from 130 to 147. The Pacquiao who bear Diaz at 135 and Hatton at 140 would have a 50/50 chance to beat Mayweather at 135 and 140. Clearly Mayweather is a bit too good and too big for Pacquiao at 147. Mayweather is not a 154 pounder and that isn't his weight. A number of 154 pounders would probably beat him including Winky Wright, Trinidad and the pre Trinidad Vargas. Today's Canelo would beat him at 154 and GGG could drop to 154 and beat him. Don't get mad at me. That is just my honest answer to the question.
Jose 'Tequila' Nipples would play with FMJ
