Floyd in the late 70's, 80's.

He loses to them all

 

Loses to the Fabulous 4 regardless of weight. Loses to McCallum and Curry.
Beats the rest with a few close calls.

 

Loses to all of them except maybe Palomino and Cervantes.

 

There would be more wear and tear facing 3 of these guys than the wear and tear he absorbed in 49 fights. And me, I don't like the shoulder roll defense once the reflexes start to go and some rust sets in. And the Mayweather punch is having zero effect on these guys so that doesn't help. I don't think he can even get a guy's respect.

I like a Whitaker a lot better against this group than Floyd.

 

Speaking of Benetiz......What an incredible feat to beat a guy like Cervantes when he was 17 to tin the world title. At a time there wasn't a ton of titles available and here's Wilfr taking on the best pedigree champ for the title. And winning. At 17.

That, to me anyway, is much better than Floyd's achievements.

 

Style wise I can see him beating curry. Just because curry doesn't throw a high output. Duran. . At welterweight. Not the Duran that showed up in Montreal. Maybe the no mas version. Pryor would be interesting. It's interesting because he lowers guys output so much. Could he do that against these guys.

I think he would do well...my basic reasoning is that he would approach his career the same way in waiting some guys out. Floyd is the shrewdest, and best self managed fighter in history. With the way he took care of himself...time would be on Floyd's side.

 

Other then Cervantes and Palomino, He loses to every fighter on this list, Some being close Loss Pryor,Benitez, some total destruction Duran Leonard Hearns Hagler, But to me the biggest question is would he actually get in the ring with any of them.

 

Would favor over Palomino, Cervantes, Cuevas, Benitez (slightly), and Curry. Wouldn't rule out McCallum either. Loses to Duran if he shells up too much, but could possibly beat him if he moves and counters.

 

Anyone who thinks Mayweather would get in with ANY of the fab 4 prime for prime lives in cloud cuckoo land.

 

Why wouldn't he?

 

May vs. Curry is FASCINTATING!

 

You could start by asking a 2010 version of Pacman, a 25 year old Cotto, a less than 39 year old Mosley, Margarito ,and Paul Williams why he avoided them like the plague.

Then if it doesn't become obvious to you why he would NEVER find the guts to get in with any of the fab 4 in their respective primes, you are following the wrong sport.
