    You're right-- Floyd has only beaten FAKE fighters.

    Pryor left himself open quite often and Floyd was a very accurate puncher with great timing. I can just see him countering the hell out of the Hawk. It would probably be fun while it lasted. I don`t see much of a chance Pryor stops Mayweather.

    If he remained at jr. Light/ lightweight he probably wins a championship, but at the welterweight / jr. Middleweight he'd be a contender, but I don't see him winning a championship. And at any weight, he wouldn't be undefeated in those era's.

    We all know . . . .?!

    The leading question to forward an agenda games is lame and tired.
    It's like asking if he has quit beating his wife when everyone knows full well that he wasn't married to any of those women!

    He might not be able to cut it in Robinson's era. Fighting every two weeks, and if you're that good you're thrown in with bigger guys and other 'muderers' and 'uncrowned champs' now and then .... he just might not have what it takes.

    But with Duran, Benitez and Leonard he'd be in the mix.
    I mean, he'd stand a decent chance to compete, perhaps beat, those guys in familiar 'super fight' environments.

    Hard to say. I think the best version of Duran beats him, as does the best versions of SRL and Hearns. Benitez is a hard one to call as is Palomino and Pryor. I know he had hand problems and it wouldn't at all surprise me if this became an issue in this era.

    One of the worst pro Mayweather trolling I've ever seen. Comes across as a 12 year old kid.

    This better not be Boxed Ears messing us around again :cursing2:

    My mind has been turned to slush as it is.

    What's real? What's fake?

    Now he's busy convincing me that Tyson Fury is greater than Ali in General. :facepalm: This has gotta stop!

    The thing being overlooked is how Mayweather comes back from a beating or two, and he would get them. SRL came back brilliantly from the rugged first Duran encounter, Benitez came back from a loss, Hearns came back from the SRL stoppage etc. How does Mayweather react? Does it spur him on or does it take some sting out of him? We'll never know.
