Who would you pick to beat a 130 lb mayweather?

He's the consensus no.1 H2H super feather so **** knows how he's underrated.

I'd take Ernesto Marcel to give him the best go.

As has already been established Arguello would have a lot of hassle with Floyd's feet.

 

Nobody, really.

 

I guess Alexis could stop him late in a 15-rounder, but I rate Floyd's conditioning pretty highly to carry what would in all likelihood be a commanding points lead to the final bell.

On that though: All these fantasy fights ought to have same day weigh-in and 15-round stipulations attached. :deal These current day rehydraters don't get off so easy. (Though Floyd, again, isn't really one of them).

 

130 lbs Oscar delahoya or 130 lbs Julio Cesar Chavez

 

He'd eat Chavez up. I give Camacho a shot at that weight. Hector was faster than Floyd, and a great boxer in his own right.

 

Who ever 'ate' Chavez up?! You've gotta' be kidding, Floyd had problems with Castillo for ****s sake.

 

Guys I'd pick to beat him:
A non-drained Chavez
Young Duran
Henry Armstrong

Guys I wouldn't be surprised if they beat him:
Ernesto Marcel
Jeff Fenech

Guys who wouldn't beat him but would probably give him tough fights
Ismael Laguna
Hector Camacho
Rocky Lockridge
Azumah Nelson
Willie Pep

 

out of all those who fought at SFW? I wouldn't favour any over that Floyd.

I've seen his career set and when he's fighting at 130 the word complete is not an overstatement.

However those who fought 126-135 leave few who could be favoured over Floyd. Armstrong, Pep and maybe a handful of others.

 

Floyd looked really special at 130, but let's not overstate things.

Corrales, Jesus Chavez, Manfredy and an old Genaro Hernandez is hardly a murderer's row.

Gregorio Vargas made him look somewhat average and with a more educated pressure fighter, he'd look even less stellar.

 

all a guy can do is fight the best in his division and I believe Floyd did that. Ideally he'd have also fought Freitas and Casamayor then it could be argued he defeated a full compliment of styles in his stint there, but the way he destroyed Genaro and Corrales is justification enough of his status in my humble opinion.

 

Kid Chocolate.

 

Great calls and brackets. Fenech should've been first on my list.

 

Villaflor crushes Floyd in 1 round.

 

Both Canzoneri and Chocolate would give him titanic struggles IMO.
