Floyd Mayweather vs. Porter, Thurman and Pacquiao.

What if Floyd had fought Porter in 2013, Thurman in 2014, and Pacquiao in 2015? Could he have beaten them all?

And how much would beating them all improve his standing as an ATG?

 

Floyd would have toyed with Porter and Thurman back then, different league altogether.

 

Yes. Quite easily.

 

Kinda like how he toyed with Pac in 2015

 

Floyd would beat them 12-0 style, maybe 10-2 style if he took them lightly.

 

Even an older Floyd was on another level to Porter and Thurman?

 

Floyd who was taken into deep waters by Marcos "Son of Devon" Maidana? Porter is rougher, tougher, and more awkward than Maidana.

 

Fighting scared against an injured Pac, landing glancing blows, and initiating 20+ clinches, some diving, is toying?

 

100%

 

He threw more jabs than Manny and used the jab in that bout better than Thurman did v Manny, his fight IQ was way higher than Porter`s and Thurman`s.

 

That`s not the way to fight Floyd, he was still able to catch Maidana too much because he gave him openings to counter, best to stand off Floyd because he doesn`t set his shots up very well when forced to fight on the front foot, he prefers setting traps and countering.

 

Correct, Manny didn`t know how to beat a fighter that could exploit his reach like Floyd with a long jab and leaping away as soon as Manny got in punching range, no contest.

 

Sorry how many rounds did Pacquiao win? 3? Less?

Yes. He toyed with Pac.

 

2 judges had it 8-4. The handful of times Floyd engaged, he got countered badly twice and was hit with combos to the head and body. Pac was tit for tat with him the rest of the way. I've always said neither men did much, but no toying or schooling took place. You don't sneak rounds with glancing jabs and initiating 20+ clinches and can it a dominant performance.

Hell, Floyd's own father bitched him out for fighting scared after the 7th round and told him he's losing. Pac had Floyd bleeding from the mouth.

Plus Pac was one-armed and Floyd was juiced.

 

I think both Thurman and Porter could have potentially posed some significant problems for Mayweather, though I HIGHLY doubt either could have beat him. On the other hand I can also easily envision Mayweather blanking both of them or at worst beating them 10-2. But ya, I think they both would have posed a challenge to Floyd and surprised a lot of people. Especially Porter. I think Porter could have been potentially nightmare-ish for Floyd.

Ya, accurate potshots dont deter Porter.
