    Floyd Mayweather Jr. Beats everyone the same size and smaller than he is 130-154.
    Benny Leonard and Pernell Whitaker at 135 being the only exptions, and those would be great fights.

    at least 85% of the footage in boxer high-light videos should be of acatual in the ring acation. Not ring walks, training or other outside the ring activies. From what I have seen about 50% is normal. This would all be great if these were 30:00 documentaries but when they are 1:50-5:00 long there needs to be more boxing acation. There is not enough time to build the same kind of story in so short of a time.

    As much as I love the all-time toughness and heart of Evander, I think he would've been nothing more than an alphabet HW title holder without the chemicals.

    Floyd dominates Manny in a wide decision win. Winning atleast 9 rounds.

    A Prime Rocky Marciano would be dominated by almost every Linear/Ring Mag HW champion that came after him.

    Ingemar Johnasson, Shannon Briggs, and maybe Hasim Rahman would be the only ones he'd beat.

    And he'd have a problem with the last two due to size and big time power.

    That might true, but I think there are far more people that think Manny wins just based on how the media makes Floyd look. Not that Floyd hasn't made himself look bad, but Manny is played up as being dayum near the best fighter ever. Even tho it's obvious to my eyes that Floyd is the worst matchup he can possibly have.

    I think Bowe is a really good example of it.

    James Tillis would beat Tex Cobb if they fought in 1982.

    Based on the thread about Mike Spinks vs Sullivan, it's unpopular to think Spinks would whip his ass...

    I don't think it would be much of a contest. Spinks by total humiliation.
