You seem to be forgetting that this guy was a 125 pound boxer so it was easy for Mayweather to walk through his punches and blast him out quickly. A 147 pound boxer hit much harder and takes a punch much better than a 125 pound boxer. That's why we have weight classes in boxing and all other combat sports. Mayweather was 4 of today's weight classes heavier than his opponent. If the kick boxer was 147 pounds instead of 125 pounds Mayweather would still have knocked him out but not quite so quickly and easily. It isn't like this was some incredible performance for Mayweather. It was just easy work. Any of the current welterweight champions could have KOed the little kick boxer just as quickly and easily as Floyd did. I think today's Mayweather would probably beat Pacquiao and Porter and lose to Crawford and Spence.
After that performance could floyd beat any of the current WW champions?

He's 41 and retired, so probably not.
Could any of these current champions have beaten Floyd when he was younger and active? no chance, in my opinion. Even mid 30's Floyd is far better than any current welterweight, but he looks his age now at 41.Comment

Are you serious? Mayweather has never been a huge puncher at 147 even in his prime. He didn't KO the somewhat weak chinned Judah or even knock him down. His KO percntage at welterweight is very low while Wilder has a KO percentage in the 90s.Comment

Earl Spence Jr is the only top welter I'm picking over current Floyd. Thurman, Crawford, Garcia, Khan (if you wanna count him for whatever reason lol) etc... are easy work. Give Floyd a full training camp and a tune-up fight and I am confident he beats those guys.Comment
