Tommy Hearns would beat Floyd there is no doubt in my mind. His reach speed and boxing ability would be too much for Floyd to handle. Hearns outboxed Benitez who in his prime was arguably a better defensive fighter than Floyd. As far as Duran goes Floyd Sr. would not come out and say that Floyd would beat Duran when he was asked point blank. Castillo and Maidana gave Floyd major problems, Duran is a better fighter than both of those guys.

More baseless statements while ignoring that you’re bringing up guys who lost to nobodies and struggled with nobodies? You’re going in circles and you have a clear agenda at this point

Floyd never fought guys as good as Duran, Pryor, or Chavez and you know it. The guys that he is celebrated for beating (Castillo and Corrales) aren't even HOF worthy and you know it. Your Floyd worship and Fantasies about him beating All Time Greats is amusing.

I think a prime Duran at lightweight beats Mayweather, as Castillo truly did in the first fight. I would favor Floyd in a rematch, and also beating Duran at welterweight. I don't think Mayweather beats either Hearns or Leonard at welterweight, not much of a chance.

Well in my opinion he doesn't just beat them up, but he also makes it look easy
