    I can understand thinking Hearns can beat Floyd, but betting against him

    I can't Bet Against Money, no matter who he's facing
    Hearns has NEVER...again...NEVER been outboxed....Floyd would have to go some what outta character to beat Hearns imo....I like Tommy in that one all day

      You're asking what the safest bet would be if Mayweather were to fight certain fighters.

      And the fact is, against Hearns, Leonard and others Mayweather would not be the safe bet to take against them.

      If an established, prime Mayweather were to fight an established, prime Ray Leonard I absolutely garantee that Leonard would be at the very least a 1/3 favourite. And the majority would feel the same way.

      Of course, as always, a handful would bet otherwise. But the safe bet would be considered Leonard. Which, is what you're asking.

      The straight answer to your question is; No, Mayweather would not be the 'safe bet' against every single fighter who has fought between 130 and 147. He simply wouldn't. It can't be put any other way.

      My man, you have this thing where you project your OPINION as fact. Very odd. Thanks for your response.

        Betting on fantasy matchups is much ******er than the people who debate said fights in the first place.

          Maybe on paper. Floyd lost the 1st fight. He knew it so much that he rematched JLC.

            What actually happens in the fight aside. Around 8/10 gamblers people would bet on Hearns to win.

            Making him the safest bet.

            Betting on Mayweather to beat Hearns is not a safe bet at all.
            Thanks for your OPINION

                I would still bet on Floyd but that fight would have me the most worried.

                    Betting favorite = fighter who SHOULD win...so you aren't saying he WOULD beat anyone in history, but that he SHOULD beat any fighter in history, right? not much of a difference if you ask me

                    also, stake*

                      Floyd would get MURDERED by SUGAR RAY ROBINSON. Nuff said.
