    He ducked Lara. Would have been the easiest fight to make too. And since all of these dudes profess to love pure boxing, I know they would have loved to see it.

      Judah perhaps? How strict are we being w/ the term "pure boxer". Some people seem to think that terms automatically excludes Mexicans.

              It's not silly it's the right correct answer man. If you watch that fight, it's perhaps on of only maybe 3 mayweather fights were he was really challenged from a technical standpoint......with another fighter at times controlling the pace...of the bout

                I Don't care! Why should I care now he is ***ing Retired! DAMN! MOVE ON! lol

                Naw but seriously Judah and Oscar obviously! He was the most skilled fighter in his ERA so it wasn't many in his ERA to fight at least that was on his level. Winky Wright and the Late Vernon Forrest maybe but nobody was really calling for those fights

                  I was going to say the same but hesitated because Oscar was a bit faded at that point. Not sure if he was better than the Judah that Floyd fought. If you count their whole careers though, Oscar for sure.

                    Forest/Winky would of been great technical tests
