    I know Arguello would be a very tight fight, but i wouldn't bet against Floyd against anyone in history at 130, he just seemed so complete, great defence, insane speed, extremely focused, Floyd - Arguello would definitely be in my top 5 dream fights

    Roy Jones at 168 was a freak, can't see anyone in history beating him at that weight.

    No other current fighter comes to mind, possibly Hopkins at 160, although Hagler, Monzon and Robinson would all be closely contested fights


    Id have put money on Pernell Whitaker to beat Mayweather at a catch weight.

          For sure.

          With Whitaker's hand speed,slickness and Southpaw stance i dont think Mayweather would cope with him.

          I personally think Mike's power would get to Joe and take him out

            Hearns would most likely destroy Jackson with straighter, faster punches but it would be a fun fight.
            I agree with both you and Makavelli about Jackson, but he's definetly got a punchers chance.

            McCallum-Hearns would have been a great fight. Mike doesn't get the respect he deserves, then or now in my opinion.

              I think B-Hop is a bad style match-up for a lot of the great middleweights

              I would back him to beat Monzon, Ketchel, Greb, LaMotta, Cerdan

              But I would favour Hagler in a close fight, and also Ray Robinson to do what Jones Jr did

              Mayweather at 130 would also be at least a match for anyone ever

                i've said it before but i think pernell is one of the few fighters that could force floyd to put on a more offensive game plan...a true chess battle


                i'd like to say mike would take out smokin joe but he himself had a coma-inducing left hook

                    considering the pop in Jackson's punches and Tommy's affinity to do the baby giraffe walk when getting tagged, he definitely has a chance

                      I agree totally. Whitaker was very patient too........ so i think they would both have to come to a compromise and meet in centre ring. That is where i believe Whitaker would take over, when Floyd is forced to open up.
