    Which out of these fighters would you pick to beat Floyd if all fought at their best? I'd pick a couple of them on the list.

    Most, i would pick him over cotto and pep, and have a fight between mayweather and whitaker closer than most, the rest would be clear favourite's with mayweather having no chance against robinson, leonard and hearns IMO

    You didn't make it a multiple choice poll.

    Here's a list of fighters between 130 and 147 who I'd give at least even money, if not outright favor over Floyd. Off the top of the head:

    Hector Camacho
    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Henry Armstrong
    Pernell Whitaker
    Roberto Duran
    Carlos Ortiz
    Duilio Loi
    Aaron Pryor
    Ismael Laguna
    Jose Napoles
    Ray Robinson
    Ray Leonard
    Emile Griffith
    Tommy Hearns
    Kid Gavilan
    Donald Curry
    Marlon Starling
    Buddy McGirt
    Vernon Forrest
    Ike Quartey
    Felix Trinidad
    Oscar De La Hoya
    Carmen Basilio
    Charley Burley
    Luis Rodriguez
    Wilfred Benitez
    Meldrick Taylor

    Sugar Ray Leonard - a natural 147 whereas PBF was a natural 130. Leonard destroys him at 147.
    Tommy Hearns - same answer as SRL.
    Arron Pyror - For me, Pryor beats Mayweather at 140.
    Willie Pep - Tricky one. Probably Pep by decision at 130, but difficult to call.
    Pernell Whitiker - Beats Mayweather convincingly at any weight.
    Sugar Ray Robinson - Same answer as Leonard and Hearns.
    Winky Wright - Winky was a natural 154, PBF only fought there once. Winky dominates him at that weight.
    Migel Cotto - PBF beats Cotto at either 140 or 147.

    IMO.

    Only guys I'd consider being able to beat Floyd is Robinson, Leonard & Hearns. I dont wanna hear anything about Cotto or Williams.

    You think the Floyd Mayweather who fought at 154lbs, taking an SD over a well past-prime Oscar, would beat a peak 154lbs Winky? I cannot see that at all, not at all.

    Well if we're talking about Floyd fighting these guys at their natural weight classes, its a whole different story. Yes I pick Winky over Floyd
