[lx!!]

He'd be a bigger b!t(H then what he is now... Any era gayweather will always be a coward b!t(H.

All of them snatch Floyd's soul.

This thread again? There isnt ONE fighter in the history of the sport that can EASILY beat Floyd.

Bull****! Hearns was faster and hit twice as hard as guys who rocked Mayweather. He would NEVER be able to get inside the rapid piston jab of Hearns and lightning hand speed. Hearns would back him up, keep him on the end of his reach and lower the bomb. Mayweather would be crushed in less than 6 rounds. Leonard would stop Mayweather late. Leonard fought faster guys than Mayweather, Mayweather has NEVER seen the speed of a Leonard or Hearns. Duran of 1980 Montreal would have crowded Mayweather and handed him a brutal, slow beatdown. Mayweather didn't even fight his top rival, the 80's welterweights ALL fought each other. Mayweather would have had serious issues with Benitez who was almost as fast as Leonard. Mayweather BARELY beat and over-the-hill Oscar! Oscar in his PRIME was a solid level below the 80's Welterweights. Mayweather may have beaten Cuevas but if Cuevas landed as clean as Corely, Judah, and Mosley, it would have been lights out for Mayweather. Pippino broke eye sockets, jaws, ribs, etc. If one of those bodyparts got in the way of Cuevas's wrecking machine fists, forget about it. Cuevas in his prime was a much better version of Luis Castillo.

Floyd would not fight them if they were in the same time span. And he wouldnt be as popular as he is now. Him avoiding the toughest fights would be frowned on in Duran,Hagler, and hearns time. He could fight his dad or uncle lol. And people have this delusion that he would do well against them lol.

Wait........

Wait. Who on Floyd's resume gives you the impression that he would beat ANY version of Duran? Floyd is too inactive for Duran and would get beat up for 12 rounds. All that cute counter-punching wouldn't work against fighters like Chavez, Duran, Leonard, Hearns, Whitaker, a prime De La Hoya, Trinidad, etc. These guys threw punches for twelve rounds and would outpoint him if nothing else. You are giving him way too much credit here.

Yeah basically. Out of the four horsemen, Hearns ruins Mayweather the fastest. Very tall, very fast, very powerful. Fantastic jab and boxing skills. Mayweather wouldn't be able to do ****.

- Floyd would be taking many long long vacations.
- If Floyd would be using the same promoters, he would say, I wanted to fight them but my promoter refused.
- If Floyd would be using a different promoter, he would say, I can't come to agreements due to their promoter.
- Floyd would be asking for "ALL PPV money" ... lol!

At first, Floyd fans would be shocked when hearing Floyd's excuses but after a couple of weeks, they would defend him and blame everyone else.


If they actually fought, can anyone see Floyd going from one war to the next? That is what constitutes a real ATG. You actually need to fight the best not just say it then never do it!!!

GREAT POST BRO! Specially the last part. Last boxing super start that I can remember being called the best because he fough the best was ODH. No catch wieght, fake vacation, ducking, excuses dude just fought them all. (I'm not even a big fan of Oscar btw)

You brought up a damn good point with Benitez. Who says Floyd could even beat a Benitez???

Benitez had better defense, and was slicker than Floyd. I could see Benitez UD/SD Floyd.

Excellent post!

[B][FONT="Verdana"][SIZE="3"][COLOR="Blue"]I just gave you green K man. Excellent post. These idiots think Floyd is so great but hasclearly ducked his entire era. Here was my response to a guy who just said Floyd would beat Duran.

"Wait. Who on Floyd's resume gives you the impression that he would beat ANY version of Duran? Floyd is too inactive for Duran and would get beat up for 12 rounds.

Exactly.

Exactly! These fanboys aren't logical or honest boxing fans.
