how does floyd matchup against the following welterweights?

looses to all of them except forrest, he has never beat a very good welter in there prime and probally never will because he is a coward.

 

I don't think Floyd would even want to leave the dressing room against Tommy Hearns!

 

What? :huh

 

You think he beats a prime Forrest?

 

He beats the majority of them except for maybe SRL and Hearns. And even thats debatable. Yes, he IS that good!

I'd take Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Benitez, and Forrest over him. Curry and Mosley are interesting matchups and two that I cannot make a solid pick on. Quartey is another good one.

I'd confidently pick him over Starling

 

Man, I don't know who would have won, but a fight between prime SRL and Floyd would be ridiculously good. If only.

 

You'd have to go with Leonard in that matchup. He was arguably just as fast, if not faster. Strength-wise, he had a big advantage too. Leonard had the jab to trouble Floyd. He put his punches together much better at 147 and would catch Floyd more than anybody has in the past. Floyd would get seriously outworked. Plus Leonard had the power to hurt him. Floyd cannot outbox Leonard or potshot him. And he wouldn't have much success pressuring him either.

I'd say Leonard wins a wide decision

 

He wins all of them, except SRL and maybe Hearns.

 

Ray Leonard TKO Floyd Mayweather Jr
Tommy Hearns KO Floyd Mayweather Jr
Wilfred Benitez UD Floyd Mayweather Jr
Roberto Duran UD Floyd Mayweather Jr
Floyd Mayweather Jr UD Marlon Starling
Donald Curry UD Floyd Mayweather Jr
Floyd Mayweather Jr UD Ike Quartey
Shane Mosley EVEN Floyd Mayweather Jr
Floyd Mayweather Jr UD Vernon Forrest
Felix Trinidad TKO Floyd Mayweather Jr or Floyd Mayweather Jr UD Felix Trinidad

For what it's worth, Leonard did get hit a lot more than Floyd does. But SRL had much more knock out power and is bigger than Floyd. Either way, it would still be pretty damn entertaining to watch. I can't see how Floyd would overcome the Hearns height/reach/power advantage. The only way SRL was able to do it was to wear Hearns down over the long haul and hit him with a big closing shot. Floyd doesn't have anywhere near that kind of power.
