        The three greatest Welters of all time all happen to be BIG Welterweights, the fighter I think would give Floyd the most trouble is Hearns, Hearns had that huge height advantage, reach, and amazing power to top it all off.

        Robinsons work rate would have dealt with Floyd pretty easily, Floyds defense would be broken and I see a mid-late knockout.

        Leonard is my favourite fighter out of the bunch, but Floyds chance was small, I see Floyd winning a few rounds but he will get picked apart by Leonards jab, Floyd didn't have the pressure or the boxing skills to outbox one of the greatest boxing talents in the history of the sport, I see Floyd getting taught a boxing lesson.

          Damn dude that's a very elementary logic. What's wrong with you? Don't make it complicated.

          The other poster said he can't hang around with Leonard, Hearns and Robinson, so if he can't hang around these welters you're not among the best welters. Did PBF ever dominated at least one of the divisions he had campaign in. Nah, definitely not, because he keeps going up after just a couple of fights.

          If De La Hoya who has held seven different titles, Leonard and Hearns ruled 5 and 6 divisions each respectively were not being recognized as the greatest of all time, tell me what is PBF's qualification to be the greatest of all time.

            Mayweather has great speed, great reflexes, great timing, great defense, and underrated power.

            He has all the tools to be competitive with, if not beat, anyone.

            Anyone who says any different is fooling themselves and obviously just does not like Floyd.

            Also, we must remember that Floyd started out at what, 130?, and all of those three started at 147 and then went up. They were naturally bigger, stronger, etc. He is a small dude moving up....so obviously there will be a disparity in punching power. Nonetheless, I am confident in saying that he could beat or at least come close to beating any of those fighters.

              ****! I'm a old head. I watched Leaonard, Hearns and Duran fight back in the day. I like PBF. He got skills, but all three fighters mentioned in this post would whup his ass. PBF is too small for those boys. No offence, Floyd.

                As good as floyd is you have to be on crack to think he can beat
                ROBINSON,HEARNS OR LEONARD THREE LEGENDS if a person thinks floyd could beat any of them the kid would have to be a 12 year old or something

                    of course he can't beat them they are either dead, or too old to compete at 147, now if theywere alive he would whip them all.

                      Considering Ray Leonard hosts the Contender and Thomas Hearns still fights..
