Given Floyd’s high boxing IQ - I think we can all agree, he would adapt and beat any top 5 WW out there

    Old De La Hoya got robbed? WRONG/ Guess its hard for people like you to operate in reality, just like the president of Mexico.

      Top 5 of today? I still favor Crawford and possibly Spence. Haven’t seen enough of Ortiz to assess him. Let’s face it, Floyd would never fight any of them during his prime or theirs. Never mind the ATG welters, he’s not even in the conversation.

        Floyd mayweather jr. would win as long as he don't get knock out and the fight is in vegas that's why he's the MOST GIFTED(wins) FIGHTER OF ALL TIME just look what he did to castillo, maidana and dela hoya.

          Do you think they would all beat Manny the same way?

            Everyone likes to fantasize situations where Floyd loses. If this guy, if anyone did this, so on. Truth is that's all a bunch of little girl day dreaming and if don't agree I'll give you a reaming.

              Tommy Hearns knocks Mayweather out at 147.

              SRL beats him too.
              No one KOs May
              NO ONE
              Worse opponents went the distance those bigger men.

              And May is not his best version
              PBF is.

              Lastly, Hearns is not the smartest fighter there is.
              He's like a skinnier Wilder.
              There is a chance May could confuse and frustrate Hearns into making mistakes.
              SRL vs May could look like SRL vs Duran 1

              May would never be an easy W.

                  ROBBED. Just like Castillo and Maidana got robbed.

                  But it's Gayweather we're talking about, he would've never fought a young prime P4P welter. I mean he ducked Pacquiao until Pac had been through wars and had a couple of losses.

                    Floyd did 1000 different jabs to confuse Oscar: stab downstairs, flicker, etc.

                    It was so subtle even Oscar didn't know why he stopped jabbing.

                    People didn't notice how Floyd neutralized Oscar's jab. It isn't obvious unlike a right hand over the top.

                    Floyd-Oscar was a modern day chess match that can be appreciated by purists.

                    Floyd clearly won, but Oscar took rounds: 2, 4, 6, and arguably the 12th & final round.

                    Floyd swept Oscar from 7 to 11.
                    Yeah I think I had Oscar ahead after 6 but Floyd adapted and won the majority of the later rounds.

                    Think I had it 115-113 Mayweather on the night.

                      Floyd agreed to a 50/50 split with random drug testing in 2010.

                      How is it floyds fault that Pacquiao declined due to a random drug test only to accept the same random drug test years later?
