    Let's say it's Mayweather from the JMM fight transported through time.

    Could he have beaten:

    1. The Jones who beat Hopkins for the Middleweight title
    2. The Hopkins who lost to Jones that night
    3. The Hopkins who beat Trinidad and De La Hoya
    4. The Hopkins who lost to Jermain Taylor

    Floyd is reluctant to fight true Welterweights. Why would anyone discuss him fighting a middleweight. His punch resistance is maxed out at Welter.

    1). No, he gets killed
    2). No, he gets killed
    3). No, he gets killed
    4). 5% chance - If he fights a perfect fight of pot shotting and moving.

    Oscar at light middle <<<<<<<<<<<<<< RJJ and Hopkins at middleweight. In Hopkins, I don't think Floyd could handle someone with a possibly better psyche than he has. Can't see him talking trash to Hopkins in a press conference.

    that's not the point. I said hell no to Floyd beating any of them.
    I mentioned that because his dumbass thinks Floyd is too scared to fight big welters

    He's not afraid of big welters, he's afraid of big welters who has a chance of beating him.

    I'm sure a lot of people thought Mosley had a good chance at beating him.
