    I would confidently pick McCallum and Norris over him.

    I'll say he's a slight underdog against Whitaker, that's always a close matchup IMO.

    I'd pick his intelligence and adaptability to win over the blazing handspeed and workrate of Taylor. There's quite a difference between the 1991 WW version of Taylor (Davis) than the Taylor who fought Espana. The earlier Taylor at WW would give a closer match.

    I think he wins a dull one against Mayorga in which he spends a lot of time on the defensive.

    Against Curry, hmm..Curry's the more proven guy at 147 and certainly more powerful. I see this one being tactical with both guys showing very good defense. Curry had that tight defense at range, hiding behind his gloves. I an see this one going to the cards in a debatable decision.

    With Trinidad, despite him being so powerful and the bigger man, there's something about Tito and his lack of adjustment skills when being outboxed that makes me hesitant about picking him. He has a wide set of offensive skills, heavy jab, good timing, hard body puncher, killer left hook, good hard straight right. But he just looked so lost and clueless at times. I can see PBF winning a dull one with his boxing and movement, with Tito just spending too much time following him rather than cutting him off.

    Would've loved to see him versus Chavez at any weight from 130-140, the Chavez from the mid 80s up until the early 90s.

    Atilla The Hun - hun KO 1 by slings and arrows
    Goliath - Mayweather KO 5 (people thought the Big Show was a work, this was worse)
    Darth Vader - Vader KO1, Money Choked out in the dressing room before coming out
    Jaws - Bruce 1, African americans apparently don't swim very well and traditionally don't do well in horror films.
    The Exorcist demon - Mayweather on Points thanks to amulet and having already sold his soul for money.
    Thorr - God of Thunder KO 2 from hammer fists after taking a couple, lightning is faster than thunder, talking prime on prime Floyd was pretty fast.
    Fedor - Mayweather DQ 1 after May lands a 12 punch combo and somehow Fedor turns that into an arm bar

    Mayorga has 0 shot to beat Mayweather... the rest either beat him at those weights or have a very good chance to beat him.
