Which pasts greats do you take Mayweather over? For me it might be an Alexis Arguello

I'd pick him over everyone at 130.

There's a lot of interesting fights.

Nelson would be a good fight, Saddler would be tough with his aggressive, dirty, in-your-face style, Arguello's got the ability to beat anyone especially with the power he has but I think Floyd's all wrong for him style wise, Kid Chocolate would be a great match up of skill and boxing ability, even Casamayor I think would have been interesting and was actually being negotiated in the early 00's to be made but the sides couldn't come to agreement (And a lot of posturing by both sides)

I think Floyd just has the edge on most of these fights, plenty wouldn't be easy but his combinaton of skill, speed, defense, power and size at the weight is going to be a tough out for anyone. I wouldn't pick anyone against him.

Toughest fight? Hmm, I would say probably either Nelson or Saddler.

"greats?" None really, with any certainty. I am of the belief that Floyd would be a very ordinary fighter in the golden age of boxing, the age with which I compare all aspects of the sport, because I consider it the standard. And this is coming from one of the most passionate Floyd fans I know.

I think he could get passed Arguello. Floyd vs JCC Sr. at SFW would be entertaining to watch, that chin of Chavez Sr. could get him some places at certain points of the fight but its not hard to imagine a decision going to Floyd.

Cassamayor would be a nightmare for Floyd. Not as gifted creativily but even better than Floyd at "winning" doing the small things, piling up points and knowing all the little things.

If you say past greats...They can beat Mayweather. Sad thing is...Floyd wouldnt fight them in their prime. If that...at all! Great fighters fight great fighters. Floyd ducks great fighters...cherry picks easy wins and retires from Boxing when he had many great fights to fight. Not to mention he would ask ridiculous demands forcing the other team to say..."*** you Floyd". So...I cannot see Floyd fighting any of the late greats!

Can you tell me specifically when was the "golden age" of boxing?

Exactly!

None, He will retire early and duck all of them
