What Would Floyd Mayweather Jnr Have Been In The Fab 4 Era

It would have been the fab 5.

 

Hagler's *****

 

He would've stayed at 47. Leonard and Hearns were natural welters who could move up to 160. And Duran just ate his way up. Don't see Mayweather doing that.

 

A champion from 130-140 lbs

just joking, he would be part of the Fab 5 then

 

Floyd hasn't even fought at 160 in this era

but he'd probably be champion at 135 or 140. I think he can beat Aaron Pryor

 

Honestly...nothing because Floyd would duck all of them. People need to get it over their head that Floyd is the most chicken great fighter ever....no joke.

 

Benitez should be in the Fab 4 and not Hagler- they all grew in weight together. But IMO:

Hearns- Wide Decision victory over Floyd.
Duran- depends on which Duran shows up. Close fight either way.
SRL- solid UD over Floyd.
Benitez- true toss up, tight decision either way
Hagler- Floyd wouldn't ever fight at 160, he can't grow that big.

 

He would never fight Hagler. Duran, Leonard, Hearns & Benitez all beat him @ whatever weight.

If Floyd had to repeat his career, starting at 130 in the late 70s & moving up to 154 by the late 80's/early 90's there's no way he'd have won 5 titles & remained undefeated.

 

He wouldn't not be the best imo but a champion no doubt.

 

I think Floyd would have fought anyone from 130-147 back then as there were no where near as many politics then as there is now. Fighters are paid to fight and Floyd would go where the money was back then. He doesn't need to fight killers for money today. Different era's.

Floyd gets accused of ducking certain fighters, but a lot has to do with Arum.

 

A champion of course. Maybe not the best but definitely a champion. It's impossible to think otherwise when you speak on a fighter with Floyd's speed, Ring IQ, and overall natural ability. Anyone who chooses the last 2 choices are nothing but haters.

 

he would be part of the fab 5..

hearns beats floyd possibly by ko
floyd beats duran
srl-floyd a tossup
floyd could not fight at 160 for hagler

 

That would be Sergio and GGG....they'd be his duo hoes
