    80's

    I really believe he could have fought even with the Fab 4.

    I really think he can beat each of them, but of course he'd take losses too.

    Benitez/Floyd/Hearns/Hagler/Ray.

    80's would have been good or late 1990's at WW. This era is so weak that he can fight the number 3 ranked guy at WW and be called a cherry picker :verysad (he already beat number 2)

    would have been some sick fights. though Floyd would definitely not have his 0' when it's all said and done. but would have very few losses imo.

    this


    he'd have to fight tough competition thats on the same level as his own. Tbh he would get more credit in this era because he would only lose to Hearns, maybe Duran, tough fight but he could beat him. He'd beat aswell Pryor.

    I don't think so.

    Hearns would beat Floyd

    Floyd beats Duran

    Floyd and Ray would be equal

    Floyd and Hagler N/A

    Floyd beats Benitez

    He hasn't even beaten (let alone fought) the best of his era. If he was in a stronger era he wouldn't even be seen in the division.

    This is the perfect era for him... what other era allows him to fight once a year or take massive amounts of time off and still be considered great?

    Previous eras wouldn't have allowed him to carefully protect his 0 with highly opportunistic matchmaking.
