    At 140, he would've beaten Looche, Cervantes, Kostya, Hatton, Cotto, and Mamby. At 147, he is so talented he has a chance against all. Lightweight is a little tricky for me. Stylistically he is a nightmare for Duran.

    Looked damn good vs Mosley, Mayorga, Vargas and Yori Boy.
    Hoya was like only 30 when he moved up to 154.

    I think Oscar vs Martinez, Williams and Hurd would be some really fun fights to watch

    Floyd's probably #1 at 130 pounds Super Featherweight. But the OP asked about 135-154.

    I’d give Loma a chance at 135. Nobody else though.

    He'd start to struggle at 147/154. He'd lose some fights if he had to fight Spence, Thurman, Lara, and Charlo.
