How does '91 Buddy McGirt do at 147 vs Oscar, Tito, Ike, Floyd & Shane?

A fight with Oscar would have been one of those annoying could have gone either way DLH welterweight fights he is so known for. Buddy was hard to beat if you allowed him to fight at a pace that he liked. The guys that did bother him (Taylor, Whitaker, Warren, Leon) all fought at a real high pace and pressured him to the point where his cagey unorthodox style started to break down. Oscar just didn't know how to press with a high workrate at welterweight. He'd try to outbox McGirt and have some success because of his speed and reach, but he'd end up looking befuddled in places too. McGirt would be happy to box on the outside and launch a few flurries, much like Oscar would and it would end up as anybody's.

Felix Trinidad would probably knock McGirt out late I feel, but he'd have to come from behind to do it. McGirt's boxing skills will see him outdoing Tito in the early to mid stages, but Trinidad's pressure will eventually tell and he'd start to land serious shots in the last third of the fight. There's a chance McGirt survives and takes a close decision, but I think a knockout is the more likely outcome. If he was in with an early to mid 90's Tito, like the one that had trouble hitting Camacho despite Hector offering nothing but nuisance value, I'd probably have gone with McGirt by a widish 8-4 UD.

A fight with Quartey would be interesting. McGirt has more variety than Ike but Ike's strength and speed would make Buddy cautious in using that variety. I can see Quartey's physical advantages proving decisive over the first half of the bout but Buddy would start to get into it when Quartey starts to lose some crispness in the second half. He'd probably need to a knockdown to draw level and I can see Buddy putting Quartey down with one of his left hooks which he ends exchanges with late in the fight, securing a draw.

I'd probably favour Mayweather to eek out a close decision over Buddy at 147. The way Mayweather would fight him, minimalistically, playing tiggy with his with sharp reflexes, he'd probably find a way to outhit McGirt and take a decision. I don't think McGirt has the ability to press a fight with Mayweather succesfully enough to win more rounds than he loses. If McGirt decides to hang back, which for periods he'll probably resort to in order to try and change things up, this becomes a typical Mayweather snorefest.

A fight with Mosley would probably be the best fight of this bunch from a spectator's viewpoint. The exchanges would be viscious. I can see Mosley perhaps edging it at the end by dint of his greater stamina but there would be quite a few fluctuations throughout the fight in a real arm-wrestle for physical and tactical superiority. McGirt's cageyness would end up being trumped ever so slightly by Mosley's strength and stamina. Mosley by a point or two.
