Floyd goes undefeated vs DURAN HAGLER SRL AND HEARNS just the same.
This is all I need to read to see that you don't know ish about boxing.
Floyd, great fighter for sure especially in the lighter weights as Pretty Boy but when the boxing books are being written, those 4 fighters will be mentioned in a higher historical perspective than Money Mayweather because of the timing of their fights. No fault of his that Floyd fought in a not golden era of welterweights, but the bad part is that he could have fought the Pacquaios, Mosley, Cottos, Margaritos etc when those fight actually meant something. Welterweight division was on fire in 2008 but Floyd decide to conveniently retire from boxing. That's all that needs to be said. Still is a great fighter but far from TBE. Undefeated record doesn't make you the best ever. Your opposition and the timing of those fights count for more, that is why Ali is regarded as the GOAT even with his losses, and why those welterweight are highly regarded than him except amongst you new school/internet age boxing kids.
While am on this, Floyd might be able to frustrate Duran to a decision (not absolutely sure), Hagler perhaps but he loses a clear decision to SRL, and he absolutely gets wrecked by Tommy Hearns, bad style match up.
