    How Do Floyd and Manny do Against Histories Best 147'ers.

    I always think about this because both guys walk around 147, so they are not true welterweights. The reason they had so much success is that they were that much better than everyone.

    However, I always think about how they would do against big welterweights like Leanard, Hearns, and even the smaller Duran.

    Thoughts?

    - -Manny does the best as the away fighter which most greats were in the day.

    Nobody beats Jr and Bayliss in Vegas. Not part of the orchestration whether they beat him or not.

      They're actually bigger than a lot of history's Welterweight champions.

      I suspect they do very well on average. But that might only mean they break even.

        Just for starters:

        Mangled by Robinson, Mauled by Walker, Mutilated by Leonard, Murdered by Hearns, Minced by Duran, Mastered by Benitez, Mortified by Gavilan, Mashed by Basilio, Mugged by Zivic, Manhandled by Napoles, Mystified by Whitaker, Muscled by Griffith.

          Honestly, I think they can be much more competitive than that.

          I think someone as tough, big and skilled as Robinson takes them handily, but the rest it's at the least a fight.
