As far as skill set. Or abilities that can carry a fighter once his natural physicality begins to slow, Mayweather Jr. had a much better skill...

"Caveman" got "Caved in ' by "Marvelous". I saw the fight live . Forgot E.Steward was in his corner.
Take Toney's "victory" over Holyfield along the same lines as Spinks "victory" over Ali 1st fight. Ten years prior to their 2003 fight, say...
Hammerin Hank Armstrong 1st name to pop in my head. He was a average, slightly above puncher.

A great reference for this hypothetical match is Mayweather Jr. Vs Corrales. Put Camacho in his place who's arguably more talented , maybe...
I remember those fights well, fighting Cuevas before Hearns was like walking through a minefield,,,, blindfolded. Sooner or later the opponent...
