    Floyd gets knocked out by prime Pac, SRL, Duran, and Tommy Hearns.

    Loses by decision to Oscar.

    Whitaker, Forrest, and Mosley are 50/50.

    Beats JCC and Tito.

    I think you need to suggest weights because some of these guys fought in multiple weight divisions like Floyd. It’s difficult to think he won’t beat them all which is a real possibility but also more than likely he will lose to Hearns, Duran and Leonard. He already beat Mosley and Oscar De La Hoya and he would beat any version of these 2. It’s also not certain to me that Trinidad can be defeated at 147 pounds or 154 pounds weights he never lost at. As for Pacquiao there is an excellent chance prime Floyd knocks him spark out.

    Tito Trinidad - Floyd wins
    Thomas Hearns - Hearns wins
    Shane Mosley - Floyd Wins
    Roberto Duran - Duran wins
    Vernon Forrest - Floyd wins
    Ray Leonard - Leonard wins
    Oscar De La Hoya - Oscar wins
    Pernell Whitaker - Floyd wins
    Julio Cesar Chavez - Chavez
    Manny Pacquiao (147) - Pacman wins

    Unless Kenny Bayless is the ref. With Bayless as ref, Floyd wins every single one of those fights.

    Beats them all apart from Duran, Hearns (knocks him out) and SRL. Whittaker depends what weight, at 147 or 154 i favour Floyd

    Also have to consider whether has privately contracted drug testing with USADA and whether he's using IV fluids in those fights.

    Definitely agree he loses to Duran, Leonard and Hearns

    The 3 are 10x better than anyone Floyd has shared a ring with

    I agree, weight classes are needed.

    But the only fighter on this list I would absolutely favor Floyd over would be Mosley, at any weight. The other ones are either toss-ups or Mayweather loses the majority of the time.

    The great ones always find a way to win. Floyd is the greatest of them
    His haters till this day are still traumatized by the punishment Mayweather inflicted on their favorite heros.
    These dossers have spent more than a decade waiting for Floyd decline

    Mosley is one of the easiest calls. Floyd would beat like he did when they fought.

    Nobody can even touch Floyd, how are they supposed to win? The only person on that list that would give him issues is Pernell. Ray Leonard would be competitive also but would be to easy to hit and not defensively skilled enough to not lose on points, I would still favour Mayweather. Everyone else is not skilled enough to set anything up against him
