130 Loma stand best chance but I think he loses close one
135 Duran I think prime Roberto beats him but would lose in a rematch
140 Crawford he isnt the greatest at 140 and probably loses but his style poses best chance compared to rest of 140 fighters in history
147 Robinson it be a razor close fight given I think 147 is Floyd at his very best but Robinson has every tool and IQ to beat Floyd but it will def be close
154 Hearns simular to Robinson only thing Floyd could do what Leonard did with come back ko.
who would you guys pick?
The only place you can beat Mayweather is in fantasy fights that kinda says a lot.
The only place you can beat him is in fantasy because he didn’t fight the best challenges at the time they really mattered. He fought them at his own time.
Had he fought prime pac at 09 and beat him there no one else will be talking about how else could it have gone.
Or cotto at 08. Or canelo at full 154.
The fact that floyd’s best win against an absolute prime fighter is against Corrales says a lot too. Or you have someone else on his resume for that?
Now campare it to Leonard’s duran, hearns, benitez and hagler. And it pales badly.
Pac has barrera as his best win.
130 loma.
135. Pacman/duran
Floyd was getting touched by castillo. And i have little to no doubt this two guys are better than castillo.
140 pacman. Prime pac who KOed hatton. Prime Pac has the angles, gears, speed, stamina, power and energy to beat floyd at this weight class.
If one thing ain’t working he’ll change it to the next.
147. Pacman -same reason at 140. The version floyd fought was a poorman’s version. Doesn’t have energy anymore and couldn’t throw 600 punches per fight anymore. Also scared and hesitant to attack as he was KOed koed by marquez already. The algeri fight proved pac just don’t have it anymore as he would KOed that soft ass in his prime.
Hearns. Has the range, height and power. Only one that would love floyd’s pace in the center of the ring.
Leonard. Size. Speed and power. And can put up combinations in bunches. Also a great chin.
154. Hearns.
So many contradictions and triangle theories dont work otherwise Manny is left on the canvas by B graders that have knocked him out, and the other guy that knocked him out cold was schooled by Floyd.
Duran was beaten by lessor fighters than Floyd another triangle theory that dont add up.
The Manny that KOed Hatton lol, its easy to see how impressed you are stopping a guy that was shot with a cocaine habit no family and a new trainer .
I think a lot of you guys just like throwing names around, every guy that you people said would beat Floyd easy were all beaton by lessor fighters, I dont care who Floyd is in with at his weight nobody beats him easy .

I agree. I think any opponent facing Floyd is seeing something more different than anything Floyd is seeing in front of him. He’s proven that over his career. He has a style which is unique to him and can’t be copied near to the same success without his set of skills. Everyone knows he throws a lead right hand, but he still tags everyone with it. Everyone’s stats go down against him. Yeah he’s a defensive counter puncher, but what other style was going to end up undefeated? Getting countered clean in the face sucks, yet people pretend he could be bum rushed. He did sum of his best work against the ropes too. I wouldn’t bet against Floyd vs anyone in history. To quote Rocky II “He’s all wrong for us Baby!”
Gorgeously said!!!
A very small list of guys could potentially beat him and they are all ATGs. These mythical matchups always assume that both are coming in at their absolute best. In reality most guys have occasional bad nights or performances. Floyd is the most consistent fighter i’ve ever seen so I would favour him if over everyone but Hearns (due to his power, size, and reach)
No one, TBE
I didn’t read chit is this another pac man thread by a pac yard whoives hvucariiydkr. Dog. Pinot boy toys. My cousin a pure **** moved in to Africa brother not Tuskegee bcoon ncoon nun come poop crap
People want a "sexy name" to match up well with Floyd, and thats not how boxing works. They want SRL, and SRR, to be able to beat him, and its simply not possible. These are mismatch fights.
And sure he hasnt faced anyone identical to them, but just looking at their styles, you cant imaging them chasing down Floyd, at his worse, and getting a victory over him.
But at his best, which is on average, he could very well easily make them look like clumsey idiots Lol

I think Floyd has the type of style that is hard for everyone. Aaron Pryor is the one fighter I would want to see though. Everyone who names all these fighters that would have beat Floyd I’d like to know what their predictions were in all his actual fights? Anyone who bet against Floyd has lost. Everyone will state their opinion but they won’t say what their opinion is worth.

- -I'd pick the guys that actually beat him and the ones he ducked.
That's over a half dozen in his era alone.
yea but Floyd is a better offensive fighter than Wilfredo and if it's close judges will def sway his way
Benitez was also a very good offensive fighter. Watch what he did against Duran.
I don't think anyone beats Floyd. He's shown the ability to adapt to any style on his way to victory.
I always thought Whitaker had the bedt chance. Sweet Pea's defense would have been a complicated puzzle for Floyd to solve. His right jab would be much of a deterrent as well as the body punching.
Floyd like fighter's gets frustrated when he cant land. I wonder how patient he would be against sweet pea
