    Lose to anyone on Mayweather's resume? I say not. I'm a Mayweather fan so this is not a knock on him, but we are constantly comparing the ATG's to Mayweather and how he would perform against them. One way is to compare resume's, so how would Mayweather stack up against the resume's of the ATG's, as opposed to how they would stack up against his. Thoughts.

    Well, since more than half of it did not even weigh 147, it's a lock that Ray, Hearns would march though it unbeaten.

    Hagler never weight 147 so he should be out of the equation.

    It's given that Duran toys with everyone Floyd fought at 130/135, maybe have a tough time with DLH and Mosley at 147 (both Prime) but still win. Everyone else will also get beaten.

    So definitely an unbeaten streak for all of them except Hagler.

    they wouldnt rank as high if they had floyds resume, just not enough quality at the time they were quality.

    They'd all be 43-0. In a lot of cases, we'd be pitting guys who started at welterweight or middleweight in Hagler's case against fighters like Angel Manfredy, which would be ridiculous.

    SRL, Hearns, and Hagler are definitely not losing.

    Duran? Who would challenge him?

    Corrales? Castillo? Hatton? DLH? Mosley? Ortiz?

    He goes undefeated as well.

    100%

    Duran, Leonard, Hagler, and Hearns are far superior to De La Hoya, Cotto, Mosley, Castillo, Corrales, Hernandez, Hatton, and the like. Top of the pyramid type all-time greats ability wise.

    @ 147 Duran could potentially struggle with Ortiz or Mosley. I think both Oscar and Cotto have better chances @ 154 vs. Duran then people aren't pointing out.

    Not in a million years. Duran was able to decisively beat Leonard and he beat the **** out of Palomino, who was far superior to Ortiz and better than a 2010 version of Shane Mosley.

    2007 De La Hoya wasn't any better than an undefeated Davey Moore honestly. He just didn't have the legs or stamina anymore needed to beat the better versions of Duran from junior middleweight when he fought Moore and Cuevas a little earlier. And Cotto just isn't very good. He's a very mediocre 154 pounder in the grand scheme of things. Duran would've torn his leaky defense to shreds.

    You're right about welter, but at 154, I really think Oscar and Cotto would have decent enough chances...

    I guess stating them being past their prime would degrade Floyd's resume even more. :D

    Oscar has a far better shot than Cotto IMO. If Oscar showed up like he did in the Mosley rematch and Duran had one of his common off nights above 147, he could certainly pick up a loss. Can't see Cotto though. Might just be me thinking he's quite mediocre at 154. Had a hell of a time holding off Margarito and had a tough fight with a past it Mayorga.
