    That would have been a good one. Norris was aggressive enough and quick enough to force FMJ to fight

    Not sure of course, we'll never know. Floyd would be favoured, IMO

    Hearns would have sparked him, Hagler would have beat him to a pulp, Duran would have savaged him.

    Mayweather was lucky he wasn't around back then.

    Ray Leonard only fought 40 times so thats makes it impossible for Floyd to go 50-0 against Leonard's opposition.

    He obviously meant could Floyd have remained undefeated.

    I don’t think that he could have done.

    Maybe the TS could edit the title though.

    No...but Ray probably would've dropped the ball somewhere during Floyd's run too, as little as people want to accept this. Floyd's winning consistency at the world class level, across weights, across personal problems, across injuries, across less explicable off nights, across decades isn't nothing because he didn't have the fourish standout legends Ray had on his win column. Almost nobody in colour can compete with the quality for quantity of Ray, but when you talk volume of quality, there are guys like Mayweather who make up a lot of greatness ground, in my book.

    Nah, but I think Mayweather will be surprisingly competitive with some of the 4 Kings.

    Hearns is almost a certainty to win against Floyd. Nobody is mentioning Wilfred Benitez that for me also cruises to a UD against Floyd

    Hearns, Hagler, Duran, Benetiz, Norris all are going to be really tough fights.

    No one mentioned this one, but Floyd has to fight maybe his most mentally tough fight against Floyd Mayweather Sr!

    No obviously not Floyd wouldn't beat Hearns and Hagler is too big obviously. I do think Floyd would beat Duran in the first fight.

    How is Hagler too big when Floyd and Haglers in ring weights were less than 5 lbs different?

    Hearns would be difficult but a stretch to say Floyd has no path. Yes Hearns with his gifts, talents and work ethic should be unbeatable but he lost some fights. One thing we do know is that Floyd always found a way to win. This would be a battle between the grand masters of Michigan.

    Who do you see Ray losing to on Floyd’s resume?
