[QUOTE=LarryXXX;16185254]and anyone who had a title at 147 since 2006-2008 and 2009-2015 cause none were going to beat Mayweather
He's retired at the moment so I didn't mention him but yeah obviously... Unless Paul Williams or Margarito could have beat him but I doubt it...Comment

I'm not all that certain Arturo Gatti would have ever got a title either. It's possible but he usually lost when he stepped up, despite being great to watch.Comment

Now I have one that was arguably the most difficult to separate ....you can't argue with both guys records and time as champions..one WBC the other WBA ....Salvador Sanchez WBC and Eusebio pedroza WBA ....pedroza ruled for over 7 years Sanchez was champion and died at a young age still champion ..who reckons would be the champ of those 2 ?When you think about it, there's really no telling. I think Orlando Canizales's 16 title defense reign would have been cut short. The guy was excellent, but he held the IBF title and didn't have the toughest challengers in there.
I think Hopkins wouldn't have reigned quite as long, but it would probably be close.Comment

One name which comes to mind, unfortunately, is Ricardo Lopez. If you go back to the original 8 classes, you eliminate strawweight which is where he spent his prime and he was small at the weight and didn't move up until the final part of his career. If he had to go all the way up to 112 and fight the likes of Too Sharp Johnson and Yuri Arbachakov, because of how good they were and BIG compared to him (and he probably could have made 100lbs. in his prime), I don't think that, as masterful as he was, Finito Lopez wins a title.Comment

[QUOTE=Jsmooth9876;16185266]No one beats him because of the unfair terms and the very likely chance that Floyd has been doping a good portion of his career but paying off drug testing agencies.Comment
