If Mayweather was fighting at WW around 1999-2000 when all of those guys were fighting each other, how would he do? Do you think Mayweather would still be undefeated if he had fought all of those guys in their primes? I don't believe so.
How would WW Mayweather do with prime Ike, Oscar, Tito, Mosley and Vargas?

He could beat them all, he could lose to them all. I'd pick him against Trinidad, Mosley, and Vargas with solid confidence. I'd pick him against Oscar but not with a ton of confidence. Quartey is tough for him, very tough. I'd pick Ike, though I know he lost to worse fighters than Mayweather.
Vargas was prime at 154. Not sure how he fits in this conversation.Comment

if floyd is in his prime then he's a 130-135 llb fighter, about 15 lbs lighter than all of them and would likely lose to all.
if the question is what would happen if they were all in their primes at the same weight-floyd beats all of them, the toughest fght being ODH.Comment

Well I threw Vargas in there because he fought all of those guys. I know he was best at 54, but Floyd has moved between 54 and 47, so I imagine it would happen, especially with how catch weights have been used lately.He could beat them all, he could lose to them all. I'd pick him against Trinidad, Mosley, and Vargas with solid confidence. I'd pick him against Oscar but not with a ton of confidence. Quartey is tough for him, very tough.

I meant when Floyd had made the move to 147. He was p4p king.Comment

it depends then on which ww version of these fighters he fights. floyd made the move to ww when he was 29. at the same age tito was at mw, odh and ike were at 154. Vargas lost 2x to shane and then mayorga at 29. SO assuming any of them could successfully make the 147lb weight, i'd take floyd because all of them except ODH would have to starve to make weight and would have nothing in the ring.
if they are in their primes at 147 and floyd is a 29 - i'm probably gonna take floyd over all of them except odh, which to me would be a pick em.Comment
