    I agree, at MW there would be a few that I think would give him a good fight. But, there aren't many I would pick to beat him outright (more 50/50 type match-ups).

    At WW, no one springs to mind.

    Cheers mate. I can't believe I am about to say this and probably get slated, but due to Floyd defense and reflex being what they are I would say he would have given SRR at WW a run for his money not neccessarliy winning but maybe dropping an sd.

    yeh Floyds a great fighter but not a Welter if you watch is younger days if he kept that form at welterweight maybe but definitly no

    at SFW and LW hes real good head to head but not Welter

    have you saw him in his younger days and then compared to the hatton fight

    watch him against Corrales then against Hatton, Judah, ODLH, Baldomir and you will see the differnce

    Napoles - Robinson UD I would say. Napoles is a cagey *******, but I think Robinson would throw and land enough to take a decision.

    SRL - Robinson wouldn't like trading speed for speed at mid-range. Robinson would bring it to the inside and win a UD. Leonard might jump out to an early lead, but Ray would peg him back. Depending on whether this is 15 or 12 rounds, it might be a wide Ud or a close-ish one.

    Gavilan - I have no idea; I haven't watched anything of this guy, and so I can't gauge how it would go.

    Hearns - Duran had a rock of a chin, but Hearns KO'd him. This wouldn't happen in this fight with Ray. Robinson would catch him eventually and take him out.

    Just personal opinion BTW.

    hat about Leonard

    i think he wins a close UD or SD agianst Napoles but they would split a series maybe 2-1 SRR

    Gavilan i am same boat as you havent saw enough of him

    Heanrs would get KOd around the 7th with all that skill and power hitting him

    Leonard would get UD'D in a close but clear match

    Oh yeah I know, he was definately fantastic at SFW and he was at his peak of his powers, I was just saying on his defence and other technical abilities he may have a chance.
