    SRR at WW
    Thomas Hearns at WW
    SRL at WW
    Aaron Pryor at JWW
    Roberto Duran at LW to WW
    Pernell Whitaker at LW to WW
    etc

    Carmen Basilio is not on that list.
    I agree with everything except Duran at WW and maybe Whitaker at WW too. Not so sure on Whitaker.

      I wouldn't favor Floyd in any of these fights per se, at best some are 50/50 possibly depending on what age he is fighting these guys and what class. I would find it hard to put my money on Floyd against any of these guys for any less then 3 to 1 though to risky.


      I do know i would pay money to see him fight all those cats though to see what would happean for real.
      finally starting to make sense huh

        Honestly dude, i never thought any different from what i said here. We misunderstood each other. I will admit you know your fair share about boxing and there is no reason we should have problems.

          Oh and I made a mistake about the Gavlian fight. I thought he had won it. Turns out to be an SD after double checking. Whoops.

            I'd have to go with Mayweather by close decision. I know for sure that Basilio would make him work hard, very hard for the duration of the fight.

                Question to sinatra, Jim Jeffries and the guy I posted, why do you all think Pryor would beat Mayweather? IMO sure pryor workrate would frustrate mayweather, but he would have the stamina to run around the ring all night if need be. His boxing abilities, coupled with Pryor's poor accuracy and head hunting obsession would mean it'd be very hard for pryor to hit mayweather, whereas Mayweather would almost certainly pick his spots. I could see this being a close UD for mayweather with pryor having a puncher's chance

                    Floyd would win wide.
