    Literally only the TOP guy at 147, 160, and 168 (Floyd, Sergio and Ward) dont make complete fools out of themselves...

    Ward at least probably survives in ugly fashion til a decision and martinez would put up a valiant struggle and probably get KOd and Floyd would probably not put up much resistance for Hearns, but SRL is feasibly possible for a win

      i just Can't see Floyd beating SRL. For once he would be up against a guy who is bigger, stronger, faster and has a reach advantage. Mayweather has better timing, but SRL can put together much better combinations. May has the superior defence, Leanord on attack.

        I agree with you but out of duran, hearns, and srl I feel stylistically mayweather would have the best chance with srl. But I don't believe he could beat any of them...

          Leonard was bigger, stronger, and faster than Floyd. His speed would have had Floyd on the defensive and taking punishment and not being able to hurt Leonard at all. Hearns would have stopped Floyd Cold. Floyd would never get past the non-stop lightning rod jab of Hearns and if you think Floyd was rocked by Mosley and Corley, that right hand of Hearns with the cat like speed would have dropped Floyd for the full count. Hearns would never have allowed Floyd past his jab and Floyd could not have fought Hearns on the inside...end of story. Duran of 1980 Montreal would have backed Floyd to the ropes and slowly broken him down for a late stoppage. Think of Castillo. Now add more crushing power, more defence, more physicality, more RAGE and you have Duran. End of story.

                Hagler would beat down serg,

                Hearns and SRL would both be undefeated unless they fought each other,

                Duran would be 135 king and probably beating the hell out of the guys at 140...

                Floyd might be able to use movement to decision duran much like SRL did to duran in the 2, 3rd fights between them,,,

                Hearns literally would destroy everyone at 147,154, 160,, and its not even close.....

                They would be the biggest stars in the world....
                Ortiz, cotto, broner, ghost, maidana, bradley, jmm, pac, khan, garcia, lucas, alexander would all be destroyed...

                TRUTH

                  Nobody.

                  Nobody. The answer is simple really. The jury is still out on the so called best in the world. Ward, GGG, Floyd, Hopkins too. Manny is tougher than any of these fighters I just mentioned in my back and is the REAL throwback, not Hopkins. I respect Hopkins but he like Floyd, was always smart about who he fought. His claim to fame was against an under-sized Tito and then he went on to fight smaller champions and had the 20 something defenses at middleweight BUT who did those defenses come against. SRL, Hitman Hearns, and Duran fought THE VERY BEST. PERIOD! There were no questions at the end of their careers. I have the same respect for Oscar and TiTo for always fighting the best of their eras. Floyd cannot say this but Manny can.

                    You could say that about hopkins in 2004 but he did then move up and beat down tarver, pavlik, pascal, cloud
                    Hopkins is legit..... Nobody would fight him in his prime

                      Legit. I agree.

                      "tarver, pavlik, pascal, cloud"

                      Tarver had just made the Rocky movie and gained a lot of weight and had to lose it. He was drained. Kelly Pavlik was too little for the weight and Cloud is a power dummy. Neither of those opponents belonged in the ring with him at that period in time. Like I said before, Hopkins has fought better competition since getting older but no excuses for how selective he is about who he fights. These are facts.
