    I love Chavez and he definitly has a chance but Mayweather probley beats him on points. You can't count out the old school Armstrong and Pep even though they're a little undersized.

    and what makes you say any of this? because these fighters are more athletic than floyd? maybe they are faster or so much more stronger? maybe smarter? NO. NO. and no. your just droppin names. what tools would each fighter use to gain the victory? prime delahoya did not have the defense to stop mayweather he was more of an offensive fighter which would have worked to floyds advantage. Benitez couldnt outbox outspeed or out think floyd. sweet pea is a tricky one because both are defensive fighters but sweet pea turns up the heat when need be.. Hearns and duran get out boxed and out speeded. duran from the inside which he would believe would be his area of strength and hearns from midrange after floyds movement forces hearns to over commit...how you see it?

    To counter your argument, who has Floyd fought that compares to any of these guys. How do you know he'd fair so well. Who would have prepared him for Robinson and Hearns. He's never been in there with boxing minds similar to himself such Leonard, Whitaker, and Benitez. Hell he barley got past a 35 year old DeLaHoya. All though I admit that was at 154.

    Also do you really think Floyd's power could make Hearns pay for overcommitting. I don't think so. Hearns wasn't a boxing dummy either. A master of distance.

    I disagree. Duran and Hearns would have beaten the **** outta Floyd, the Duran that fought Leonard the first time would be to much for Floyd. And hearns speed, power and reach is waaaaaaaaay to much for Floyd to handle. Actually the worst style for Floyd is Tommys style, and dont come with the bull**** talking about Corrales, cause Hearns would have killed him. Their styles arent similar at all, except they are both tall, and thats about it.

    This is from a Floyd Mayweather fan, I love his style I think he is the best ever at 130, but at 135-154 many boxers in history would have beaten him.

    I agree with you. Ultimately, I just think Benitez was a superior, higher level operator than Floyd. I think he'd beat Floyd at his own game essentially, he would outwork and outland PBF. Would be an interesting fight though.

    You dumb mother****er :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    You make it sound like he outboxed Hearns using his movement and handspeed, when it was Hearns doing the outboxing. Leonard used his punching power, grit, will-power, and heart to snatch victory from Hearns when he was on his way to a decision loss.

    I think he beats leonard and duran and sweet pea and benitez and prime oscar ... I think robinson @ 147 is a problem ... and hearns is too big and speed doesn't bother him .. he loses by knockout

    Wilfred was elite and fought the better fighters always. A guy with a resume of Leonard,Hearns,Duran and a guy who easily outboxed Duran and took Hearns to 15 yet lost, would beat Mayweather by UD.

    Mayweather eeks out a close decision 114-113, 115-112 type of win.
