Among any welterweights in history, who would have beaten Floyd Mayweather?

[_Rexy_]

Damn Errol Spence is hyped up a lot for someone who doesn’t fight lol

Lol I know right. Spence has a bare-bones resume but apparently would beat Mayweather. Lets see how he does against the likes of Thurman, Porter and Crawford first before even thinking about Mayweather.

The fact the Kel Brook was outboxing in a number of rounds does not bode well for Spence.

[stuff jones]

Hearns and SRL for sure.

[BoxingIsGreat]

None, all speculation.

[W1LL]

Hearns, SRR, Jose Napoles. Even money to beat him, the Duran who beat Leonard, The Leonard who beat Hearns, Emile Griffith and Henry Armstrong.

No way Floyd gets through this list with his 0.

[Ray*]

Every time this comes up i always give Vernon Forrest (RIP) a shout.

[Dodger07]

Definitely beat him:
Sugar Ray Robinson
Sugar Ray Leonard
Thomas Hearns

Others that can beat him:
Duran
Whitaker
Armstrong
Walcott
Gavilan
Benitez
Griffith
Forrest
de la Hoya (Prime)
Trinidad
Basilio
Ross
Napoles

That kind of tactic has zero chance versus Floyd lol

I'd favor SRL to beat Floyd, but that kind of punching dont do nothing lol...its called "lateral movement"

Did Spence really knock him down in a sparring?

KD of a 39 year old Floyd does not impress me lol

Errol is literally Gennady 2.0...so. much. hype.

Sigh...

Why would you use a 37 year old Mayweather as an example?

Does a 35 year old Armstrong stand a chance against a prime Mayweather?

I never made that distinction about his age. The Floyd that existed fought at an earlier age at a lighter weight... all the more reason why welter is not the best comparison weight.

Why not simply put Armstrong at 130 135 and compare him to Floyd? if it strikes your fancy? And it is up to everyone to clarify (I guess) if they are going to put the scenario as one where prime Floyd is a Welter, or not.

To me? at welter prime or not Floyd gets destroyed by Armstrong cause he can't keep him off of him....Different story at 130/35 where it could go either way...Still give the advantage slightly to Hank but its a winnable fight for Floyd under certain conditions imo.

Your bone to pick is not with me its with nobody really though it could be clarified if we are talking a prime Floyd, or the older Floyd. Unless you want me to believe that a past it Floyd, at a heavier weight could compete as an ATG welter....
