Hypothetical Fantasy Matchups: Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Following. Only Same Division, Same Size.

Usyk, Mike Tyson, Calzaghe and Kovalev would have beaten Floyd.

 

Out of that list I only give RJJr the edge. The rest come from bigger weight classes that are not as deep on the world talent pool nor have the same skillsets as the lower weight classes. You also gotta go off of championship records. Mayweather won championships in 5 weight classes. Most of these guys won championships in 1 weight class and couldn't stay undefeated. So far I only think other ATGs from the same Mayweather weight classes would have the styles to beat Mayweather.

 

I assume you mean power pound for pound as well. He beats them all with the possible exception of peak Roy Jones. Toney and Tyson most difficult fights.

 

Floyd is extremely difficult to beat. The people with the best chance would all at their peak vs Floyd at his peak with the rest of your conditions will be Ali, RJJ, Charley Burley, Hearns, Parnell Whittaker and Wilfredo Benitez.

 

You clearly don’t understand how great and good Floyd is.

 

Andre Ward
Joe Calzaghe
Orlando Salido
James Toney
Bernard Hopkins
Mike Tyson
Tyson Fury
Deontay Wilder
I feel these people give him trouble

 

Are we talking PBF or FMM?

 

Tyson Fury? He's a great boxer for his size and can fight 12 rounds in a division where very few others can, but if he's the same weight as his opponent the day before and everyone can go 12 rounds then he's nothing special. He doesn't have the arsenal of abilities Floyd has because he doesn't need them in his division.

Mike Tyson I think he would be like Maidana looking great early then losing control of the fight.

GGG is interesting because he might be able to just make weight from where he was his whole career so he could come in with some serious power. I'm not sure I strongly favor any of them though.

 

Op said he keeps his power

 

If these guys were the same siza as floyd the only 2 people is see beating him are Mike Tyson, Roy Jones and MAYBE GGG. Nobody else. Its hard to scale fighters up because its all hypothetical but If you're scaling Floyd up or shrinking those guys to Floyds size and saying he looses half those fights you're seriously underestimating him.

 

After I re reeading they all kill him well the heavyweights to middle weight
