    De La Hoya was a one handed fighter. Not even on his best days could he best prime Mayweather. He struggled against a blow up Mayweather. Tito was too clumsy. He would struggle to land a clean shot and Mayweather’s speed and defense would be too much. Now you can make a good case for the other three. Especially Hearns with his length and power.

      Had he fought Mosley, Manny, Canelo, Oscar at their best they likely beat him. Freitas, Williams, Tszyu, Wright, all had a legit chance to win as well.

        So out of Duran, Leonard, Hearns, and Robinson, which ones would win? I believe you posted 3 out of the four.

          I like your list starting with Freitas, omitting Freitas though (keep the other 3) tszyu, Williams, winky. I'm just basing this off of what I've seen from Freitas against baby bull Juan diaz. He quit when the fight got rough. Not sure if he did this more than once so I am not calling him a quitter.

          Also Paul Williams was a stud, beat a prime margarito with a brick opening up a cut on his eye. Also tszyu, whenever I hear that name I feel like there's a great champion. And as for winky: defense tighter than a ******. These dudes have paid their dues!

                When was Floyds best, another ****** post with no base, they are all in the same era along the same timeline, Manny and Floyd were the newer and the transitions were Mosley Oscar who was a little earlier, gee you haters fly with such BS. Floyds prime was 130/135 so when he beat Canelo at 38 4 divisions higher from where he started he is still in prime lol.

                He beat an Oscar that was 25lbs bigger than the version that was drained to fck with Manny, but you rejoice that lol, Floyds Oscar was KO Manny worse than JMM did.

                  1. Thomas Hearns at 147lbs - length, size, skills and power
                  2. Roberto Duran at 135lbs - inside fighting, stamina, power and ferocity
                  3. Sugar Ray Leonard at 147lbs - speed, size, boxing skills
                  4. Manny Pacquiao at 140lbs - angles, speed, stamina and power
                  5. Vasil Lomachenko at 130lbs

                  honorable mentions, Rigondeaux at lower weight class and pernell whitker at 140-147lbs

                    I don’t know but you can make an argument for all of them. I think Floyd matches up well against Duran because of his length and accuracy throwing punches. Also I think Floyd matches up well with Leonard too but Leonard can do a lot of things in the ring. Hearns is a nightmare as well as Ray Robinson.

                      I hate to sink your dreamboat but Manny could never beat Floyd at any weight from 130 to 147, in the lower weights 130/135/ Floyd would have stopped him.

                      Lessor fighters than Floyd beat Duran so Floyd is right in that fight.

                      Ray and Hearns are probably too big for him and also being ATGs with a size advantage makes it hard for him to win those fights.

                      Lomachenko wouldn't handle his power at 130, Pretty Boy Floyd was a killer that had a high KO ratio.

                      Nobody smaller than Mayweathjer could beat him, it will take size along with great skills/power.
