    Not many, to say the truth. Duran, Hearns and Leonard I think. And Hagler but he was a bigger guy anyway. Prime pacquiao maybe.

    3 of these are MWs...

    Pacquiao, Del a Hoya and Mosley are all debatable.

    Khan? Are you good fam?

    1. How the **** does Crawford beat Mayweather?

    2. It's no one's fault other than Arum why Crawford has no decent fights available at WW.

    In their primes, yes I'd have to agree with all but Hagler. I think Hagler might have been outslicked ala Leonard.

    That wasn't a prime Hagler.

    Or Leonard, but prime Leonard was better than Mayweather

    Are Prior, Arguello, and Sanchez too light to count?

    Sanchez would have TKO'd him very late, maybe the 15th.

    Arguello and Sanchez might be but Pryor definitely isn't.

    Paul Williams @ 147. Not that Williams was a great but it's a style nightmare. 6'2 southpaw volume puncher throwing hundreds of awkward punches from the outside vs light hitting low volume safety first fighter.

    Ray Leonard fustigates him like he did his uncle.

    Robinson. wipes the floor with him.

    A younger Pacman could.

    I want to favor Duran, but that no mas incident makes me think PBF could replicate it in a stinker.

    DLH has a great chance. Old man Oscar fought a close fight, with a bit more stamina a younger Oscar takes it.

    Tommy Hearns. could do it.

    Castillo actually did do it.

    Pernell Whitaker could do it. too.

    I think Prince Naz could have beaten Floyd back when they were talking about it.

    Winky Wright could have a close controversial decision in a fight where no one lands any clean effective punches.

    Why is Arum to blame? Because Haymon doesn't want to or have to do business with Arum?
