    Hearns = Hearns by KO.

    Ray Robinson = Robinson by UD or TKO.

    Henry Armstrong = Armstrong UD or TKO

    Ray Leonard = Leonard by UD.

    Roberto Duran = Duran UD or TKO.

    Prime Tito (not sure if he an ATG but stick him in anyway) = Mayweather UD.

    Julio Cesar Chavez = Tough one for me to pick. Draw. Or decision to Chavez.

    Emile Griffith = Griffith UD.

    Kid Gavilan = Gavilan UD.
    yeah i know that, which is what the real fight fans predicted, but read some of the threads and posts about hatton destroying mayweather, turning him into a vegetable, etc. and then talk...

      The last 5 floyd would beat .........

      Hearns may be able to knock floyd out...Hearns
      Duran would get out pointed by floyd most likely...Floyd
      Armstrong loses....Floyd
      Sugar Ray robinson... I mean... the way he fought.. of course you know the name... but do you guys remember the way he jabbed and stepped..

      I'm sorry but I think floyd might dance around this guy all night... I mean think about it...go watch a sugar ray fight and think about it. forget his name.. watch him fight. Floyd

      Ray Leonard...Woooooo what a figth this would be.. I can see Ray throw combos and dancin better than floyd...Plus he had more hitting power I Say. Leonard by SD or UD

        Okay, we are talking each fighter in his prime, right? If that's the case, then there is no way Floyd UD's Sugar Ray Leonard.

        He could SD Duran, I suppose, but I would still pick a prime Duran to outwork him. No way he hurts Duran enough to slow him down.

        I could see a comfortable UD over Tito, but not a KO.

        A fight with a prime Chavez would have been at 140lbs, which could have gone either way (I would have loved this one), but Floyd is not knocking out JC. No way in hell.

        Floyd-Hearns would have been great too. I think Floyd has a nightmare of an evening, but could see him pulling out a close decision.

        I met Emille Griffith a few times and (gay or not) he is a super cool guy. Since he's not from my era, and I've only seen a few taped rounds of his, I'll resist making dumb judgements on how he would have fared. Same goes for the rest of the old-timers.

            ...well, it depends on the judges...from the responses of most of you you don't know just how good these other fighters are...and they fought in different era's...the only reason Floyd has done as well as he has is no one has caught him him yet...but I bet as soon as he does get caught, he'll sit on the stool like his uncle did against Chavez...hehehe...and thinking for one minute he can compare with SRR, that shows you guys don't know just how good he was...not only did he have boxing skills like Mayweather, but he had something Mayweather doesn't have, heart...

              Yeah, I think you're right. It's one thing to compete with the greats, but to beat them all (and knock out half of them)? This guy started watching fights this year.

                You think he could fight the way he did in some of his best fights... uuumm lets say lamotta...

                could he fight like that and beat floyd you think?

                honestly....thats a serious question.. im not being sarcastic or anything... if ya know something that could crack the code let me know..


                And I think leonard would beat him... he dances just as good and is almost just as elusive... and he's just as quick.. and hits harder... and throws more combinations... *(we'd need that floyd from round 6-10 to even stand a chance against leonard)* Of course I say leonard would win.

                  Mayweather has heart, he could've quit when he broke his hand against Carlos Hernandez, he could've quit when his shoulder was bothering him against JLC 1. Although I agree with you that Mayweather would never beat SRR.

                    hey... can ya explain too me... or tell me what gameplan robinson would use.

                    I really don't see it.. and I've watched loads of robinson.. *(not all fights he has like 120+)

                    But imma pick lamotta since thats a famous one everyone has probably saw...

                    Could he fight like he did against lammotta and beat floyd you think? Seriously.. no sarcasm in this question.

                      Oh certainly. Those people were getting their thoughts from the hype it seems. Hatton is a very good fighter and I'm a fan of his but I was very skeptical of him winning the fight, but he did have a puncher's chance and was doing okay until the point deduction.
