What Boxer In History Could Realistically Defeat Floyd Mayweather?

[LockardTheGOAT]

Floyd is one of the most boring fighters to ever live. But in fairness, he's also one of the "best" (i.e. most difficult to beat, or even hit) fighters to ever live as well. So relative to the five weight classes (Super Featherweight, Lightweight, Light Welterweight, Welterweight, Junior Middleweight) that Floyd has competed in, what boxer in history do you feel would have had the best chance of defeating him?

My vote is "Sugar" Ray Leonard, and, of course, a prime Manny Pacquiao.

How many National golden gloves did Floyd win? And was Floyd robbed a Gold like RJJ?

If Floyd has Paulie's KO record do you think your motive would make sense?

JCC at 130.

Realistically defeat the guy who lost to Jose Luis Castillo? Gosh, I don't know.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Thomas Hearns.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Felix Trinidad would have been interesting.

[Sir_Didymus]

Uzzy Ahmed. Easy work.

Thomas Hitman Hearns at 147. I just can't see how Floyd could beat him. He would be Floyd's kryptonite

[W1LL]

Sugar Ray Leonard.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Thomas Hearn's, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran.

(I think Floyd Mayweather would lose to Roberto Duran, but then adapt and beat him in a rematch! But up against Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearn's, i don't think he will be able to adapt!)...

Lol ok.

At welter only SRR, SRL, Tommy, Napoles, Tito, Margs and Paul Williams.

At lightweight Duran (by murder), Whitaker, Castillo

At feather Manny, MAB, JMM from this era only. Guys like saddler would've ended his life and pep would've clowned him.
