    I would argue Chris Algieri was "too big" for both Manny and Ruslan. Didn't help him none.

    Paul Williams looked like a light heavyweight next to Sergio Martinez. Didn't help him none.

    All I'm saying is, reach advantage means nothing if you're not precise. That was Hearns' issue, precision. He was accurate against Duran and Hagler because they stood in front of him. Against a moving target? Hearns would look like a fool.

    LATER Hearns, where he showcased pure boxing excellence and defense, would be a threat to Floyd for sure.
    castillo wasn't lanky, you nitwit.

    he was 155-160 fight night at 135.

        just a thought.

          Duran, Ray, Hearns, Hagler and Benitez would all beat FMJ. That era was on a different planet to the one now. Brings tears to your eyes to think how blessed boxing fans were back then with all those great fighters!

            I'm a moron because they were both old, but you're attempting to make the "he was old" excuse for the younger man who fought less over the course of his life? Well **** it, I'll be that moron if it saves me from being whatever it is you are :/

                ain't no one saying floyd wasn't old too, you nitwit.

                but the manny you were talking about hasn't existed in years.

                he's been boxing (coasting) since 2011.

                    Its not about the era, its about the fighter.

                    Mayweather is a level above everyone he fought.

                    Leaving Hagler out, I would favor Mayweather in 2 of those fights.

                      Uh... you replied to my comment with Manny's age and length of time in the fight game, so I replied back with Mayweather's. Since then, you've just been going back and forth, hurling insults at me like a hurt 3rd grader. If you were making some kind of point, maybe you should have specified it, instead of throwing insults like a child?
