    I don't know about this one. I'll speak about it P4P, not straight up. Hagler lost to Ray Leonard who, despite having great skill and speed, never really showed quite the same intelligence or defense as Floyd. If Floyd could use his great footwork and smarts to stay away, he could easily potshot Marvin and win a decision. If he caught Marvin enough, since Marvin was a slow, plodding, slugger, he could stop him on accumulation - but I highly doubt that.

    If Basillio could trouble a slightly old Robinson then Floyd can kill him in his prime.

    Robinson could kill Mayweather if he were around today however.

    :lol: first of all I said Pac could, not would, beat Floyd at 130. He has a style that could have toubled Floyd and he is one of the best boxers in the world. For you to think its absolutely impossible to Pac to beat Floyd at 130 when Castillo took Floyd to the brink of defeat at 135 shows your blindness.. You've been blocked you dumb**** nuthugger

    I could name ten welterweights that would beat Floyd, and I could name one today that would destroy him. SRL vs. Floyd is a no brainer, Floyd would be way too afraid to engage SRL and he'd either get caught trying to run away or he'd lose a lopsided decision fighting cautious as can be.

    BTW Basilio beat SRL based on aggression and pressure, something that Floyd doesn't have.

    No way. Floyd was wayyy better defensively. Picture this: A bull and a matador. No matter what, Floyd would be in and out. He'd use his smarts and Hagler would be falling over his own two feet!!!
