It has to be Thomas Hearns. His size,skill,power and speed would cause Mayweather huge problems. SRL has a the tools also. I find it interesting that no one has mentioned Pacman but again after the Marquez performance it is a given he will lose against Mayweather.

if i can pick from any WW in history i'm certanly not going with duran
tommy hearns
easy answer
best answer in my opinion
his size, boxing skills, speed, punching power, and aggression would be far too much for floyd to handle
trying to box with somebody who holds phsysical advantages like those is next to impossible
floyd would have to fight. i dont think he does, but i think he'd eventually start getting hit with right right hands and jabbed back to the ropes when he tries to box

This just goes to show you how stacked and how good the fighters in the 80's were.Originally posted by Prince Mongo View Post
You have someone like Thomas Hearns who, when taken into consideration against the other big three, is 1-3-1.
Yet despite having a losing record among those three, you can say that he'd be a very heavy favorite to beat Mayweather because of his abnormal reach, a god-like straight right hand, and toughness to boot. He could box, he could punch, he was always a LITTLE chinny as he progressed in his career but in his prime he was a fearsome fighter.
Floyd would have to avoid that magnum of a right hand, find a way to make Tommy look bad by outboxing him considering he's the shorter fighter, but I just think that with what Tommy went through, it is very safe to say that a prime Hearns gives Floyd a mess of a fight.Comment

Hearns would most definitely benefit from a 12 round era, his stamina and chin is what cost him in the big fights.Originally posted by TintaBoricua View PostComment

I purposely left out the fighters from gone bye eras. Bassillo and Gavillan would be salivating to fight him. People like Bassillo have been missing in boxing for a long time. That guy was maxium effort and win at all cost. They would make Mayweather a better fighter and theres no doubt in my mind about that. He would be taught the main ingrediant he hasn't needed yet. What those individual old times lacked they made up for in max efforts and pride and will to win. They also understood that they had to make the fight exciting or the arenas wouldn't be at capacity. Remember NO tv NO pay per view! It was live performances, and counter punchers were NOT in demand actually they never made it to the big money. Ray.Comment
