Floyd Mayweather would have beat all the welterweights of the 80's except for Hearnsl

Stop overrating fighters. Floyd is to small and they are just as skilled. Its like Floyd is fighting a bigger stronger version of himself. He wouldn't win.

 

he wouldve schooled leonard?

dear lawdy

 

Leonard would beat the Holy crap out of Mayweather, Too fast and UDs him

 

He would have never stepped up to welter to fight that corwd he would stay at lightweight fighting the likes of Mancini and Camacho.

 

Everybody's scared of Floyd now... He just need an arm to beat the WW of today!

 

Qouted for ****en Truth.

But you are underrating Floyd so much my friend. I am betting on him to beat Hearns by KO. Thomas China-Chin Hearns would not land a punch on Floyd and would eat massive lighting fast pull counters all night until his chin gives way. Duran would not solve the puzzle of Floyd's shoulder roll and he would be beaten alive ala Gatti. Leonard would be outboxed to death, he can't hang with the great one. Floyd a G

 

That's a myth. The only guys to KO Hearns were guys with good power that Floyd does not have. Floyd doesn't even have the power of Duran. Leonard, Hearns, and Barkley also have a good chance of KOing Mayweather to so that tells you alot about Hearn's chin.

 

Floyd would have never beaten those guys because he would never have fought them. He would have retired during the 80's and came back in the 90's, ducked Whitaker and declared himself the greatest fighter ever.

 

I think that Leonard would have beaten him as well. However Mayweather could have beaten Hearns and Leonard too.

 

Again, it's beyond hypothetical because he never would have fought any of them if he was in their era. I'm saying that, and I'm a Mayweather fan. If he were somehow forced to fight them (again, extremely hypothetical because you can't force a guy to fight someone), he would have taken away Hearn's right hand and beat him on points and against Leonard it would have been a chess match. Leonard would have had the edge in power, and Mayweather the edge in defense. I could see a trilogy between him and Leonard with all the fights being extremely controversial and difficult to score.

heres floyds list of 1980s hit list

arquello, up from 135-140 to 147
maybe a stablemate of aaron pryor
or maybe that guy that lost to hearns
and whats his name that lost to leonard in his last fight

 

AHAHA! PAC wouldn't have beaten Leonard, hagler or Hearns at 147 so there's no way in hell Floyd would have. Duran.....Maybe for PAC he could win at 147 but the pressure and ring intelligence that Duran has would be too much for Floyd.

 

Probably this, Pryor is a stylistic nightmare for Floyd, not enough room to work and NEVER stops punching, with unbelievable work rate and decent head movement and more pop than floyd.

I actually think Floyd takes Arguello with a lot of movement, in a fight that resembles Morales-Raheem, Arguello was a bit too flat footed to deal with movement and I don't think he could land his power despite his height advantage.

Leonard and Hearns were effective at middleweight, and hearns beat undefeated light heavy champ virgil hill, just TOO big, and fast at welter, too. Floyd might be equivalent to Benitez: a defensive guy who would have had a long reign if it wasn't such a tough ridiculous era, super talented but not quite enough intangibles to beat Hearns and leonard.
