    Monsters? Something that you heard or have you actually saw them fight? They fight just like any other fighters. Plenty of aggressive big punchers like Duran maybe not as good but LOL at making the classic fighter God like status. They fight no different than other elites. They can beaten and they have, they lose to lesser opponents and they have. Wake up and come back to the real world. Only way SRL, Duran, Hearns beats Floyd is bc they are all naturally bigger and fighting Floyd at his worst weight and old verison of Floyd. Prime Floyd school SRL, and Duran, and Hearns would never make it at 130 so i'm not bringing him into this. 140 in a even playing field fight Floyd beats SRL, and duran in a competitive fight..

    Because at the lower weights he had ATG'ness written all over him while beating other elite contemporaries skill-wise, and as he climbed higher in weight his technical ability and ring IQ while maintaining some physical gifts allowed him to compete against much larger foes.

    Not rocket science, really.

    because he has great boxing skills, great defense, is very cautious i selection opponents and is undefeated, usually the answers in fantasy matchups are based on what people see in real life, had pac never fought jmm the idea of counterpunchers beating him wouldnt be mentioned that much, it wouldnt be known that he could be times like that other than an agressive morales with good boxing skills.
    Had floyd been ko'd before you would see guys like trinidad winning polls like this easily, was similair back in the day with naz for example, only after barrera you would see any guy that can box win the fantasy debate for sure.
    But beside the undefeated thing the other factors help a lot as well, see whitaker for example.

    Health would come first or Floyd would retire saying that he's done everything and there's nothing left to prove :lol:.

    Solid points.

    Take any version of the welterweight PBF (2005-2007 or 2009-to current, you pick which version is prime) he gets stopped by a prime Leonard. To the new generation of fans who have witnessed his carrer, Mayweather seems unbeatable with his master defense and superb counter punching.

    When you put him against a 1980-81 SRL, the cream rises to the top and Leonard emphatically wins. Leonard wins because he is flat out better in nearly every department and because he was a more versatile boxer PERIOD!

    Mayweather is a great boxer, don't get me wrong, but SRL is simply better.

    I'd say it's because he has adjusted and taken over every fight he has been in. You see that kind of adaptability and you just sort of assume that he would find a way to win regardless of the opponent.

    I'm not saying that makes him impossible to beat, but those are the traits that win fantasy matchups.
