    Leonard, and Hearns I believe would have a good chance of beating him. Sweet pea would be interesting, but I think Floyd would outbox him, in a tactical close fight. Arguello would be a good one as well. Pryor, Duran, and Benitez will get out boxed in my opinion.

    Disagree strongly on Duran at 135. The rest I have no problem with :thumbsup

    Arguello I think may stop Floyd at 130. Arguello is longer, bigger and stronger. His straights would control distance and he would land shots that a 130 pound man just couldn't handle.

    There's a chance. But it's very tough for me to see Floud from the Chico fight to losing to any 130 lber I've seen in my lifetime.

    Mayweather at 130 would be too quick.

    Chico was a good fighter but Arguello is a step up.

    Fighters often look very different against a different class of competition.

    Oh Arguello is many, many levels above Chico. But that version of Floyd was terrifyingly good.

    "To beat Mayweather, you have to knock him out, but how do you knock out someone who doesn't want to fight?" -Juan Manuel Marquez

    I guess have ridiculous power, huge size advantage, and ring IQ as well. In other words, be Gennady Golovkin.

    If you have to recall past ATG's to beat Mayweather then you are inadvertently placing Mayweather in that category.

    Answer: one round, at cruiserweight, baseball bat, Floyd has to fight in slow motion, and boxingforum24 posters fill out the judges scorecards.

    Interesting. I have never thought of that. I would say though it's all hypothetical.

    There is no one that can beat Floyd, not even GGG.

    Pac cannot even wear him down.
