    I'm surprised he picked Mayweather to beat Hearns but not Leonard. Of the 2, Leonard should be the easier fight since his main advantage over Hearns was having a better chin and Mayweather doesn't really hove the power to exploit Hearn's questionable chin. I am fairly confident that Mayweather could beat Leonard, but I'm not sure about Hearns.

    Hearns-Mayweather is a massacre, Hearns destroys him. Picking Mayweather over Hearns ruined that whole list's credibility. Terrible pick.
    Duran was at his best at lightweight. After he started moving up in weight he lost more big fights than he won and he only beat Leonard in the first fight because Leonard fought his fight and tried to brawl with him instead of keeping his distance and outboxing him. Mayweather is too smart and calculating to fight Duran's fight, so he should be able to potshot his way to a UD win. With a prime Duran at 135 it might be different.

        I think Fullmer would have given Mayweather more problems than Basilio.

            Haven't seen enough of Napoles to make an educated opinion.

            Basilio can take everything Mayweather dishes out and keep coming, but I would have Mayweather by decision.

            Unlike Mosley and De La Hoya, Hearns jab is consistent, fast, sharp, and obviously long. Mayweather would not be in range to counter it too often. The right hand would eventually land and hurt Mayweather, but Floyd wouldn't go from 1 shot though.

            Duran's ring IQ is underrated and on Mayweather's level, an in shape Duran beats Mayweather possibly by stoppage.

            Lateral movement and great defense would shutdown Trinidad's offense. Mayweather by decision, possible late KO.

            Leonard by decision or late KO.

            SRR by decision or late KO.

                  I must see. Floyd is too smart in the ring. His boxing IQ is insane. Hed find a way to beat everyone on this list.
