I think that Hector Camacho at 130 was a blur of cobra speed, angles, and offence and to me he had the best chance at the lower weights. His footage at 130 was so much better than when he started doing drugs and partying at 135 and up. No way on God's green earth does Mayweather avoid getting hit often by this version of Camacho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1kf_FkkaYM#1 Ray Robinson. The real TBE. Smoother and sharper. He’d knock May out.
#2 Ray Leonard. An all round better fighter, his superior offensive game allows him to outbox Mayweather.
#3 Tommy Hearns. Too big, too strong and too long. Hearns by KO.
#4 Oscar De La Hoya. We seen the problems a burnt out, binged out Oscar caused Money. Imagine what a prime De La Hoya could have done with that left hook. De La Hoya by decision.
#5 Vasyl Lomachenko. At 130 lbs Floyd wouldn’t be able to cope with the constant pressure and multiple dimensions of Loma’s style. Loma uses his superior pedigree and takes the UD.
Before any of you TBE snap back wearing b****es get all sensitive. These are just opinions so no tears! Pull your TMT crew socks up and man up!!!
Post and discuss...

I'd pick Floyd to beat Loma and Oscar. I just haven't watched that much of SRR. I'd favor Hearns and SRL over Floyd.Last edited by VatoMulatto; 04-29-2020, 01:25 PM.Comment

Personally I think Aaron Pryor would’ve been a tough fight for Floyd. TBE has said this himself. AP was a monster and a great fighter he gets a lot of respect from me. Alexis Arguello also would have presented an interesting challenge but I’ve gotta go with Floyd especially at 130-140 but both of those guys are all time greats.
I’m taking Floyd over SRL because of the mental game. Ray didn’t have the mental intelligence of a Floyd Mayweather. He let Durán get in his head and fought completely the wrong style. That never would’ve happened with Mayweather and he had better skills and was smarter than Duran, Hagler and Hearns. All great fighters in their own right. TBE gets in his head and makes him fight his fight, much like he did against De La Hoya. Easy for you guys to be nostalgic and say he beat Hagler/Hearns etc but those guys were there to be hit and TBE isn’t. That’s a problem he wouldn’t be able to overcome, along with the mental game. Floyd is too smart and too skilled. Although I do think it would be a competitive/close fight.Comment

leonard always explains how tough his fight was with Wilfred Benitez, said he never missed so much and work so hard to land....imagine a smaller yet more elusive opponent with faster legs and reflexes with a better chin in theirPersonally I think Aaron Pryor would’ve been a tough fight for Floyd.

Floyd would do better against leonard than most would imagine....only fighters that gave him trouble were good boxers.....Benitez, Hearns and Big floyd gave it a good go before Leonard turned up the heat, didnt have to respect his power. although smaller floyd is a sharper puncher than his popsComment

Three of them already did as far as I'm concerned (Castillo, Oscar, Maidana). But, the five I feel confident would beat him:
Armstrong
Robinson
Leonard
Duran
Hearns
Prime Pac, and a lot of others too.Comment

That's because this is what really gets in people's craw about Floyd - whenever he was announced to fight people, NSB said Floyd was about to lose, they believed the trash talk from the opponent. They said all Floyd did was run.
Then we all saw the truth of the matter.
