    Floyds attitude woudnt translate to that era is absolute ***** logic garbage. I don't know how you assume that floyds personality change in a different era. I don't know how you assume he grows balls in a different era. Even those guys from a different era like hagler thinks he needs to grow a pair. Holmes thinks he's a puss. You even assumed somehow I matched fighters of different eras with todays, when all I mentioned was floyds is asking 100 mil and osdt for pac how much more for fighters of different eras. The only thing that doesn't translate is your ***** logic and assumptions to reality

    ...Is this Roger Mayweather? Your arrogant, nonsensical babbling and Floyd nuthuggery is reminiscent, but you spell better than I assume he would, so... :huh

    floyd would have shown how much a beast he would have been in that era due to the great level of competition unlike todays era. He would have schoold the likes of pryor and duran, toss up with the likes of SRL. His nightmare would be hearns. Would pick him confidently against benitez and taylor

    FLoyd beats Duran. Loses to Leonard and Hearns. Benitez is a toss up. He beats everyone else including Pryor and Aguello at 140.

    There's nothing that Leonard did to Duran in the 2nd fight Floyd couldnt do btw.

    Except for hit harder and be more aggressive.

    Oh yeah- It won't hurt to mention he actually fought him...


    And why do you Floyd nuthuggers think he would beat Duran? It's a common theme with you; SRL beats him, Hearns is the nightmare, but he beats Duran. Why?

    Duran is the prototype of fighter that would give Floyd problems...

    SRL was making good money. He made like 40k for his first fight which I think was a record at the time because he was a gold medalist and people liked him. But I think SRL kept his money. Its not that you cant do well in that era, but PBF doesnt seem to be that smart with his money, he is just lucky that he is making a lot now but I can see him going broke when he retires.

    yeah he would have schooled margarito but fought baldomir and zab who just lost to baldomir
    he fights henry brussels and chop chop corley instead of miquel cotto...because we all know why fight cotto when he will school him?
    he fights 39 year old ring worn guys and 37 year old featherweights but not guys in their 20s like paul williams, berto, hell or even cintron
    he wont even fight a guy that jumped 10 weight divisions in pacman....because pacman beats up big guys where floyd beats up little guys.... but floyd would school the greats from the 80s when he doesnt even fight the greats in his era..unless the greats were great and they are a fight away from calling it a career after 16 years or un the upper 30s
    so
    WELCOME to Fantasy island you dumb ass

    Obviously you have never seen the 2nd Duran Leonard fight.


    Because Duran struggled with slick boxers. Leonard got on his bike and Duran quit. Benitez who was like the Floyd of that era beat Duran using the same style Floyd uses.

    Rofl. No he's not. Hearns a fighter with reach, a jab, who can box is Floyds nightmare. Not Duran.

    FLoyd was injured in the 1st fight. Plus he was small and not the muscular frame he has now.

    The people saying Floyd would lose to Arguello at 140 I don't agree. Arguello couldn't hang with anybody with the movement, speed, and defense of Floyd at that weight. Plus the fact that Floyd had pretty good pop at 140 and wouldn't slug it out with Arguello like Pryor did, I would favor Floyd to win by decision.

    Floyd would be very competitive in ANY ERA and certianly would win his fair share and also lose some good ones. 80's era was DEEP with true talent.

    A lot of todays talent...well lets just say they should thank promoters more often than their skills...just sayin.
