How would Mayweather have fared in the 80's?

I don't think he fares well when most of his opponents are great.

 

Duran, Hearns, SRL, He gets stopped by these men.... Pryor, Aaron had some holes but he was electric and had power I like him over Floyd but close fight because of Floyds better defense and counters, Aaron fights at a crazy pace and Floyd could not jab and coast with this man, he would be pushed to his limits.....Camacho, Sweet Pea,..troublesome ugly fights that could go either way I favor Floyd over Camacho but I favor Sweat Pea over Floyd still could be close controversial decision..... Chavez has the body work and attrition style to wear Floyd down and put him on the defense more than the offense thus take the UD, Black Mamba could not figure out the Julio C C, Floyd a bit more talented but not as rugged... Arguello,Floyd busier but Alex sharp and accurate a strait right down the pike could put Floyd on his ass and Floyd would not have access to the black bottle that Panama Lewis supplied to Pryor for that sudden boost so Alex should be favored, he has to be careful not to lull into a slow pace because he could get hustled.... Curry may be stronger but too slow for Floyd so I think Floyd takes the UD

 

He would probably accuse them of being on steroids and duck them. I don't think he would fight any of them. Only when they are over 40 or something.

 

Floyd would have done great in the 80's cause he would have ducked SRL, Hearns, Pryor, Duran and even Camacho ....

 

He beats Chavez, Pryor, Camacho, Arguello, and Curry. Imo.

He loses to Sweet Pea, Duran, Hearns, and SRL.

It's hard to envision him doing anything at all against a 147lbs Hearns.

 

:deal
and still would somehow end up as p4p number 1 and have an army of fans supporting his gay ass

 

exactly.

 

He beats Arguello and Camacho.

Has a decent chance with Chavez and Pryor.

Probably loses to Whitaker and Curry.

Definitely loses to Hearns, Leonard, and Duran.

 

If Mayweather is afraid of little Pacman, he wouldn't dare to step into the ring with a monster like Hearns. If he would he'll get KOed fast.

 

Hearns knocks him out.

Duran could go either way, kind of like the first two fights between Leonard and Duran, if Mayweather uses his footwork and speed he can beat Roberto.

Leonard is too much for Mayweather and wins a decision.

Sweet Pea has to force the fight with Floyd and again it could go either way but I think Whitaker does enough to get the nod.

I think he beats the rest of them unanimously.

 

Im not a big Floyd fan but I do think what he has achieved has been underrated by so many due to his attitude and persona.

He has beaten some good fighters and deserves to be mentioned alongside the greats of the sport.

 

Floyd would not have been regarded as great in the 1980s. He could not avoid all the great fighters, and there were many at ww to mw at the time.

 

I think If Floyd had lost to Castillo he would be a different character today.

 

You can't really count the second fight, because Leonard knew Duran would ballon in weight after the first fight.

Duran would use his intimdiation and turn Floyd white.
