Floyd Mayweather vs these 154lbs fighters

You're asking a lot of him.
Vargas isn't a problem, but the rest are. (excluding Lara as I don't know much about him)
I think at this point, Mayweather is giving away too much size against really good quality opponents.
It's possible he can squeeze a win out against one or two, (Jackson and Wright) a big maybe) but McCallum, Norris and Trinidad are too much, IMO.

You never know of course. Just by being defensively as good as he was, he's not going to be easy to beat, and he was super quick with crazy reflexes, but at some point, the combination extra size, strength and obvious quality of these guys has to tip the balance.

 

Some on this site think Mayweather could walk on water and
ko King Kong at the same time. I don't, and never did.
I see plenty of holes in his game where a bigger, stronger,
longer PRIME opponent could take advantage of.
Mayweather didn't have the firepower to keep most of the
better super welters in history honest..
Some of the fighters listed (Most actually) didn't have the
greatest chins, but could Mayweather capitalize on it?
Probably not, so what does he do? Lay back and counter with
pop shots. Which may would work against Lara, or Vargas.
But not the rest. Prime Norris could match his speed( Maybe faster
at this weight) and was just as skilled with a natural weight advantage.

Trinidad and Jackson may get embarrassed for a couple of rounds
but sooner or later they will land something substantial. If they landed
flush like Mosley did, do you think they would let him off the hook?
They also hit much harder than Mosley, he had Mayweather badly
hurt, now imagine if Jackson or Trindad landed a shot like that.
You think Mayweather walks it off? Do you believe they would
allow him too as Mosley did?
Mccallum wasn't a head hunter which plays into Mayweather's strength
his focus would be underneath and around Mayweather's elbows as he leans into
his shoulder roll, he would be secure with the knowledge Mayweather couldn't really
hurt him with one shot, so he would take more chances with his attack..
Break him down with body punches
Sooner or later it'll have the desired effect.
Wright had speed was a south paw, and was skilled ,
he would've been the natural bigger and stronger fighter if not
the better skilled if he fought Mayweather he also was
awkward. Most of the advantages would be on his side if they
fought in their primes. Skill can be overpowered ,Wright
overpower him.

 

McCallum & Norris have the best shot IMO. McCallum is the only one I would call a favorite.

How does Floyd fare against:
Jackson- Floyd UD
McCallum McCallum UD
Norris- Floyd narrow or draw type of fight
Trinidad- Floyd close (but a dangerous fight)
Wright- Floyd UD close/ugly fight
Vargas- Floyd UD
Lara- Floyd UD

 

W’s

 

I don't see Floyd clamoring to fight any of these guys in their prime. Norris, Winky, and Lara might be his toughest fights. He could possibly tame Trinidad, Vargas, and the Hawk. McCallum had trouble with quick opponents like Kalambay and Toney.

 

Jackson - Incredibly dangerous fight but logic says an elite boxer beats an elite puncher. Floyd UD

McCallum - McCallum outhustles Floyd in a chess match. McCallum UD

Norris - If you think Floyd's CV is overrated go take a look at Norris', made his name off beating the corpses of Sugar Ray, Curry and Mugabi and a shot Meldrick Taylor. World class talent but never fought anyone in their prime other than getting iced by Julian Jackson, also had disciplinary issues. Floyd UD in a close fight or wins by DQ.

Trinidad - 50/50

Wright - Floyd UD

Vargas - Floyd UD

Lara - Floyd UD

 

IMO

Beats:

Trinadad
Wright
Vargas
Lara

Looses to:

McCallum
Norris
Jackson

 

?

 

McCallum would have been by far the toughest fight for him.

He did have trouble with Kalambay and Toney, but those were great MW’s in their primes. And Mike was in his mid 30’s against Toney.

Although Floyd was extremely quick, I can’t see him being as offensively minded as a guy like Toney.

A prime version of Mike McCallum would have been a big favourite over the versions of Floyd we saw fight Oscar and Cotto.

Mike had huge physical advantages, he was an absolute technician and he’d not have feared Floyd in any way, which would have seen him enter the ring with supreme confidence.

 

Mayweather definitely would’ve been favored.

 

He really wouldn’t have.

We all know that Floyd was great. But he was at his peak at LW-LWW.

He only had a handful of fights at JMW.

He struggled with Oscar for 9 rounds.

He had a competitive fight with Cotto.

He wasn’t beating a peak version of Mike McCallum.

You are overrating him.

 

McCallum would destroy him. Norris too. Tito and Wright decision the safety first Mayweather ... Vargas too .. not sure about Lara or Jackson ..

 

Nope

 

Are you honestly saying that you think Floyd would have beaten all of those guys?
