    Shane connected so what? SRL, Duran, Hearns has all got KTFO so what does that mean?

    BTW Floyd was out of prime when he fought Mosley and out of his best weight.

    Thats not much of a breakdown tbh. Mayweather is everybit better than 5'6 De Jesus. De Jesus is a smart boxer but was way smaller than Duran and was able to beat him. Sure Duran got his revenge but thats the problem. Duran can be outboxed and nobody in the history of boxer boxes better than Floyd. Floyd sets a new bar in terms of talent. As he says he make great fighters look oridinary. Theres a lot of truth in that.

    Floyd doesn't have to hurt Duran to beat him. at 140 and down Floyd can take Duran's shots so all Floyd had to do is to hit and not get hit. If SRL can do it, Floyd can.

    It means that if Shane can do it, Hearns definitely can. And Leonard was 40 years old when he was stopped. But the main point is, Leonard and Hearns would be better prepared to deal with Mayweather and whatever puzzles he presents than he would be to deal with them.

    I respect your POV for Leonard and Hearns are great fighters. I think the only reason why they would be favored imo is just because they are bigger. I wouldn't favor them at all near Floyd's prime weight.

    Quit lying, SRL Lost to Duran at WW..LOL, He couldnt even make adjustments, or land a jab on Duran, how he gonna hit Floyd? He had to run around the ring like a chicken in the rematch. When he fought Hearns, he ran around the ring with that scared facial expression, then once he seen he could hurt him, all of a sudden he's chasing him with a mean facial expression like he's billy badazz. "Imma gonna getcha, Imma gonna gectha" GTFO, and Hearns lost to SRL, Who basically beat his opponents with his speed advantage, and range. Floyd would follow SRL's gameplan, and beat Hearns WORSE, too much defense, and skills. Floyd would walk Duran's little azz down at ww, GTFO. NONE of the four faced a skilled defensive fighter like Pernell or Floyd, and you BETTER NOT say Floyd SR. If Floyd fought back then, those idiots would be lost, thinking he came from another planet, and they wouldnt know what to do. Confused and befuddled. Hagler was very strong and durable, so I think he can do what Cotto did, only better, with More power. Styles make fights and I think even Pernell would give them too many problems for them to count, but guys have a habit of giving past legends more credit than they deserve, and hate to admit that there are fighters from more recent eras who could possibly HUMILIATE them.

    Hagler by knockout, he`s too big to be hurt by fmj & too good to be out-boxed for a full 12 without catching up to do damage.... & that damage would be too much for fmj to take.

    This is one of those threads that elicits responses that leave you unsure whether to **** yourself laughing or slaughter your family to protect them from what the world is coming to.

    Considering the weight and Hagler chin. I would give it to Hagler. Floyd wouldn't be able to keep Hagler off of him at that weight. Now if you bring the weight down some I give it to Floyd all day.

    Hagler wins at the higher weight via KO...wins a split D at 154. IMO, Floyd, the best boxer today bar none, would get handled by Sugar Ray, Haglar and Herns with his only possiblity of winning against Duran. If Duran is on though, he ruins Mayweather. Hurts him rrrreeeeeeeeeeeeal bad.
