    Thread should have ended here - whilst Floyd could probably hold his own with some of the best 147 lbers - Hitman takes him out - and fast!

    I've always thought Forrest would have made Floyd nuts. A tall welter with a good jab, stamina and movement would have a good shot. DLH was Mayweather's closest fight.

    How many people does Mayweather have to hit with his right hand for people to realise he has plenty of power? Maybe not one-punch KO power - but more than enough to keep people honest. He lands it more than any other boxer in history too.

    Marg's only quality win was against Cotto.

    Not that Martinez wasn't a quality fighter - one of my favourites of recent years - but he wasn't the same Sergio at WW that he was at MW. Not even close.

    DLH is too stiff to beat Mayweather. I give forest a chance due to his footwork, something Oscar lacked.

    You only want one. super feather, Sanchez moves up a few pounds and ko. Lightweight, a young Duran would tear him a new ar#e hole. 130lbs or 135 Alexis A. R.I.P. A young J.C Chavez 135 or 140. Aaron Pryor at 140. Hearns at 147.Leonard at 147. Armstrong at 147 though he never actually weighed more than 140 fighttime, throwing over 100 punches a roundnon stop with his head in floyds chest. couldhe take that.Willie Pep at anything around 126 130.would show him what defence really is. Sugar ray at 147. no contest.Maybe Wilfred Benitez at 147 if he could be botherd to train. Napoles 147 say no more.Actually icould say more but iv'e got to go .DAVE oh yeah.Mickey Walker , Griffith and maybe J.L Rodriguez. Basilio. Ike Williams who used to fight a lot at around 140 147 cos 135 was torture to make. Kid Gavilan. iv'e really got to go now.Sorry one more Pernell whitaker
