LOL @ people saying SRL knocks Floyd out. Even Leonard himself said that Floyd would've been competitive and great in any era of boxing. Floyd had 2 close fights his whole career, no one is just gonna "destroy" him. It's competitive vs anyone.
Put it this way, if Hearns and Benitez could outbox Ray for periods of those fights and make it very close, and Duran was able to get in is head and make him fight a fight that didn't suit him, Mayweather could do those things too. It's a close fight for sure, but Floyd is more complete than SRL and from a mental standpoint he's the smarter fighter. Plus he would've been a lot harder to hit than those guys.
I like Floyd by a very close decision.
