Guys I suspected would have beaten him?
Forrest
Trinidad
Mosley
Pryor
Tzsyu
Duran
Quartey
Griffith
Gavilan
Armstrong
Margarito
I think Whitaker, Benitez and Locche would be strong underdogs but they fought similar styles to Mayweather defensively but lacked Floyd's offensive prowess.
Guys I would favor over him now?
Pacquaio

I also want to put it out there that although Floyd is IMO a top 25 of the post war era fighter, it doesn't mean that he would "give any fighter their toughest fight". I suspect Robinson and Hearns would blast Floyd out in short order.

As for you selection of Fighters..
130: I agree unbeatable. Too Big, Too fast, Too much in this division.
135: Duran is an interesting story.. because how he behaved at 147 isnt how he behaved at 135. At 135, Floyd was more willing to go to war in this division. I am talking about Toe to Toe. However, He would box his ass off if his opponent did not press the issue quick..
So with Duran we have a Hard nosed, macho SOB, With incredible power. But how effective would he be against essentially another Sugar Ray Leonard @ 135 in Mayweather with better defense.. ???
But, JRO if you had to pick only 1 fighter and you had to bet your house on it... Who would it be? Just 1
Just 1? It is hard cuz there is a few that could do it. I am not going to count 154 since he only had a pit stop there. I don't think matching him against greats at 147 is fair to Floyd either sine he is not at his best at that weight.
He was at his best at 130 and I think unbeatable there. So I would go to 135 and chose Duran. I think Duran has a better chance than JCC has at 135/140 or that Pryor has at 140. My second choice would be Whitaker.
But, I am not going to name any 147 or higher fighters since it is not fair to Floyd. And, I don't think he could beat any true ATG WW at those weight-classes. He is just not at his best at those weights, he just not matter how much people try to spin it.
Oh... and maybe Napoles would of been interesting at 135/140.

Lets get this straight, there is no point in time. When Oscar would of ever beat Floyd.
Even at 135/140 where Oscar was at his best at. Floyd would still work him over.
