    Any semi decent middleweight and up.
    A few of the aforementioned greats below such as SRL, Hearns, Duran. I also agree that Williams would have been a nightmare for Floyd.
    PBF is great at 135 but he definitely took a careful path at 147 and up and quite rightly too.

        he would have made duran look foolish. he would beat hagler too but it would be close.

        he would lose to hearns though. too much size and too many tools. has good speed too. would have no respect for mayweathers power just like he had no respect for durans power

As far as Floyd not having a punch, that could be true but then wouldn't people have just straight up mauled him every fight i.e. Paulie M ? I think Floyd has another power to keep guys honest and rethink their game plans. I've spared with guys that were just so damn sneaky with their right hand they force you to readjust even when you think you got them figured out. By the end of the session, your like WTF just happened?!?! Floyd in any era woulda held his own. He may would have took a few L's from the likes of Duran and Hearns. but I think we would still be an all time great, Top 15 fighter. All the fighters that we think would beat Floyd had flaws that Floyd would have adjusted too. Just my opinion as I got Paul Williams as my P4p number 1

              Duran TKO's him.

              Leonard Tko's him.

              Hearns KO's him.

              Lol at the guys who think he would beat hagler.

              Prime forrest at Welterweight beats him.

              Winky Wright UD's him at 154.

              Prime De la Hoya at 147 UD's him.

              And that's just my limited knowledge.

                    I've got between 130 and 154: Roberto Duran, Tommy Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson, Oscar Dela Hoya (prime=), Kid Gavilan, Julian Jackson, Mike McCallum, Sumbu Kalambay, Donald Curry, Paul Williams, Kostya Tszyu (early Kostya), Terry Norris, Julio Cesar Chavez, Aaron Pryor, Roy Jones Jr. and this one is really personal, call me crazy but i believe that David Reid would have beaten Floyd.

                      I think Napoles is a cert.

                      Kid Gavilan is another I would add to the list.
