Obviously nobody knows, but I imagine he would have beaten any of those guys. Spadafora and Casamayor for sure, Zoo and Tony would have been difficult fights.

He would beat Spadafora and Margarito without any problems, but I think the prime versions of Casa and Tszyu would have been among the hardest fights for him. Tszyu would have been his most difficult fight and fight by fight it could go either way, but I would generally favor Mayweather.
A prime Casa gives him problems simply because of his tricky southpaw slickness. He was very quick and could pack a decent punch and back at 130 would have given anyone trouble. Still, I think Mayweather takes it by a close UD that is rather controversial, though not overly so.
Anyone thinking that a Tszyu Mayweather would look anything like the Tszyu/Judah fight is sorely mistaken. Completely different in every way. A righty couldn't land any of those type of shots on him for one and Mayweather fights much, much more conservatively than Judah does in the first few rounds.
Judah comes out wild and winging, and well, honestly, not that many of those shots even landed and it looks a hell of a lot worse than it is because of the way he skips backwards to avoid more. Anyway, vastly different fight that would have been great I think. Tszyu would have gotten very dirty and rough, and would have really ****** Mayweather when he goes to rest on the ropes. Unlike most of the guys he fought though, Tszyu had near perfect shot placement and he would have gotten through more than anyone he's fought thus far. The worst place to be against Tszyu is resting on the ropes, and while Mayweather has that great defense, one of the few guys who would get through and get through with hard shots to the head and body would be Tszyu. Would have loved to have seen it.Last edited by BennyST; 05-18-2009, 02:46 AM.

how is everyone saying he would beat casamayor easy? look how much trouble judah gave him and casamayor doesn't lose focus plus is a lot more tricky. it would not be an easy fight and would end in a controversial decision for floyd and everyone on boxingscene saying bull****!

I think cotto has always been lacking in heart and got found out. let's see if he is good enough to beat Clottey never mind Mayweather. I think Floyd would beat Williams too. Shane Mosley would be tricky but he would beat him too as Shane is past his best. I think floyd woudl only face problems if he kept moving up and fought Winky Wright or someone like that

Originally posted by DarchinyFAN View PostSpadafora despite the legandary sparring session, would have been easy pray for Floyd. He had no power, and that modified limbo-man defense he tried to use would have been figured out by the 4th or 5th round.
At 130 Floyd did all the things Casamayor could do, Floyd just did them better. Casamayor might have taken some early rounds, until Floyd got into Rythm.
Margarito's size, chin, and punch output would be a sort of wildcard. Floyd would have to stay on his bike en route to a sloppy victory.
Tzsyu with his timing, ability to pressure without throwing a ton of punches, ability to cut off the ring, and power would have given Floyd the most trouble of theses.

I think once Floyd gets use to Casa's speed and southpaw style he starts taking him apart and stops him late.
