    I go with Floyd but Hearns would send him to God in a fight.

    Canelo had beaten higher opposition than Hill, having unified with Trout. He followed the Maywether fight by beating Lara which is on par with or above Hill’s best win, Maske, which wouldn’t happen until 96.

    Canelo was on pfp lists already and Mayweather was 36 and gave up a ton of weight in ring. No contest.

    On paper, there's a case for Mayweather.
    In reality, Hearns was a much Greater fighter than FMJ, in my opinion.

    The fight was at a catchweight and Canelo was not in his prime.The Hill win is better in opinion. The Corrales win ranks higher than the Canelo win in my opinion

    Floyd was a defensive genius.If he fights defensively, Floyd will go the full 12 rounds.He is not going to stand and trade with Hearns. He will move

    Head-to-Head? It would be criminal to even let that fight go ahead.

    Had they been around at the same time, Mayweather would have known better. We'd never have seen that fight come off.

    Floyd was very careful in who he fought and when. He is a marketing genius and an ATG. Wanting to prove he was the best , wasn't his agenda. He did not want to take on a lot of risk. Hearns is completely the opposite, He would have wanted to Fight Ray every time for the rest of his career. Resume, activity, and competition is big with me. The answer is clearly Hearns

    Hearns never logged a win over someone Floyd’s caliber. Sit your ass down.

    A weight that Canelo agreed to and had weighed in at not that long before. It was day before weigh ins but Floyd doesn’t drain. Floyd had a massive size disadvantage and was 36 since you want to pretend he was not 36 but he was 36. He was 36.

    Yet ask if hearns rates higher than pac and you'll have a landslide poll in favor of pac lmfao. This pbf hate is too much.
