    There aren't ten the only people at 147- 154 that could beat him possibly is Pacquiao and Lara

    Paul Williams would have schooled his ass at 147.

    SRR beats him. Hearns gives him fits.

    He beats SRL and Duran though.

    No one in this era beats him. FROM 140 TO 160.

    I never understood that. Floyd-Williams would be Floyd-Chico 2.

    I think Duran gives mayweather problems aswell as the other mentioned, after seeing Floyd Sr vs SRL i agree that floyd takes that one.

    Obvious candidates would be SRR, SRL and Hearns at 147. All bigger, just as quick, good to great power, great technical boxers, excellent speed, championship mentality and will to win.
    Montreal Duran is quite possibly another. He was a force of nature that evening. Him and Floyd at 135 would be extremely interesting. What about Whitaker at 135?

    Hearns at 154 is an even more fearsome proposition for Floyd than at 147. Terry Norris at 154 would be very interesting...prime Oscar and Shane at 147...Tito at 147...

    SRR, Hearns and Hagler beat him. Whitaker, Duran, SRL, Pac, Tito, Arguello, Pryor would give him a great fight some may even knock him down but they dont beat him. Instead, they just bring the best out in him.
