1. Roberto Duran- Although a natural lightweight, Duran had many shining moments at welterweight, including his destruction of Leonard and his win over Carlos Palomino.
2. Sugar Ray Leonard- Tougher, faster, harder punching.
3. Thomas Hearns- Leonard was the only one to get past this guy at welterweight and made Hearns wait eight years for a rematch where he clearly lost. Too tall, too much power.
4. Henry Armstrong- A punching machine who came out non-stop. If Floyd could not hurt him(don't see it happening), Armstrong would definitely roll over him.
5. Felix Trinidad- Although head games did work with Trinidad and he often did best against opponents who came straight at him, his power would have overwhelmed Mayweather since Tito would never stop coming after him.
6. Oscar De La Hoya- I basically had De La Hoya ahead in a terrible fight, but Mayweather fought at old De La Hoya and barely got by him. In his prime, De La Hoya would have turned up the juice a lot more.
7. Shane Mosley- The old man Mayweather fought had lost his legs and most of his fire. Even so, Mosley rattled him bad in the second. The rattling would not have stopped there in his prime.
8. Pernell Whitaker- Sweet Pea would have been a nightmare for Mayweather with his speed and counter-punching. Probably would have been a dull fight, but in his prime, Pernell would have been too slick for him.
9. Sugar Ray Robinson- too much speed, power and athleticism. An all out bad night for Mayweather and a quick one.
10. Wilfred Benitez- one of the youngest champions of all time. Benitez would have beaten Mayweather at his own counterpunching game.
