Mayweather was truly great. Not too many I'd pick over him. But, gun to my head... Favoured at LightWelter: Napoles Duran Armstrong Chavez Possibly at LightWelter: I Williams Whitaker McFarland Ross Cervantes Pacquiao Gans B Leonard Benitez Favoured at LightWeight: Gans B Leonard Duran Armstrong Whitaker Ike Williams Ortiz Possibly at LightWeight: Ross McFarland Arguello Chavez Favoured at SuperFeather: Armstrong Saddler Possibly at SuperFeather: Pep Arguello Chavez Sanchez Nelson Pacquiao Lomachenko Castillo These are my best guesses. I may have made a few errors... it's late in my part of the world.
I felt Jose Luis edged Mayweather as well. Mayweather beat a many tp level fighters, but he was care on who he choose
Disagree on all points. Duran was green. A four year veteran with over 20 fights, not so much. As you know this was the mid point of his 8 year career. Marcel looked fantastic just a year later in the video I highlighted. It's not going down as a legacy win given the timing, but as a demonstration of raw ability, it means a lot, and was very impressive. The stoppage is up for debate. But Marcel was being dominated and not fighting back. On that note, I will say Marcel at his Featherweight peak from 70-74 would be able to frustrate and outbox Mayweather of the Hernadez fight. Would he get the decision though? Hmmm.
I saw them, but in their first fight, SRL did not run like he usually did, he tried to beat Duran at his own game, so he lost. When SRL ran and just tapped in order to score points, he won. Mayweather would do the same.
If you think Leonard didn't try to out-box Duran after being hurt, you need to watch it again. Also, Leonard was quicker, stronger and hit much, much harder than Floyd. Just because Leonard can do it, doesn't mean Mayweather can.
