He doesn't get in the ring with over 50 fighters especially at the higher weights so what's the point of the thread.? Funny how some can throw on 20 pounds over a fighter's best weight and think he is going to run through everyone in the history of the sport Even at the smaller weights, you left out Arguello who would KO Floyd as well
Mayweather didn't get to 50-0 because he lacked skills or fought weak opposition. Floyd achieved his record because he was a smart, fighter with a high ring IQ and a mean streak. He had very good offensive skills during the first half of his career then, once his hands broke down, he had elite defensive skills. To beat Floyd you have to have something special, physically speaking. Of the boxer's I've seen in my lifetime I think it's fair to say Leonard and Hearns would be the best two choices. Hearns had that long reach with great boxing skills and devastating power. He would have been able to get to Mayweather regardless of his defensive style. Leonard can match Mayweather's ring smarts and had an even meaner streak than Money did. The big difference is speed. Floyd was quick but Ray was quick and fast with power. Ray would have beaten Mayweather via referee stoppage.
Prime Chavez has a huge chance imo Also I remember reading somewhere of a proposed Golovkin fight at 154 which Floyd avoided, do you all think he could have stopped him?
Margarito, Margarito, and Margarito. Also prime Pacquiao. When he had him pinned on the ropes and hurt in the 4th, if his shoulder hadn't seized up and was in his prime, he would have stopped Mayweather. I don't really get the Hearns picks honestly. It was the Latino style which gave Floyd fits, if any of the 4 Kings had a shot of KOing Floyd it was Duran imo. A fleet-footed and flashy boxer-mover already beat Hearns, it's not that much of a stretch to see Floyd pulling off something similar by darting in and out of range and attacking the body.
Is a fight I wished to see but I don't buy Margarito winning tbh Eh I also thought about the upset because his chin could let Hearns down but Hearns reach is a pure nightmare to walk by. Leonard would put so much pressure on him a (T)KO isn't so outta of place.
