    As you'll notice, some of the fighters are named more than once as it's simply a better matchup compared to others faced at that weight (Example: Castillo at LW for Floyd). The fighters are going against each other in the state and condition they were at when they faced either Floyd or Whitaker. Also note, I know Pea didn't fight Nelson at SFW, but Nelson is a SFW fighter really, and so is Corrales, so I thought it would be a good matchup.

    SFW:
    Nelson vs. Corrales

    LW:
    Ramirez vs. Castillo
    Roger May vs. Castillo
    Brazier vs. Castillo

    Super LW:
    Pineda vs Mitchell

    WW:
    McGirt vs. Manny P
    Chavez vs. Hatton
    Rivera vs. Ortiz
    Oscar vs. Manny P.
    Guerrero vs. Hurtado


    Super WW:
    Vasquez vs. Cotto
    Vasquez vs. Alvarez

    I think Oscar would probably beat Vazquez at 154.
    I also think Mosley, Zab, and Marquez would beat Rivera and possibly Hurtado.
    Long story short, the opponents would split a lot of these and it's a confusing concept.
