    The 1 person id bet all my life savings on to KO him and make it look stupidly easy would be Hearns.
    Id pick Leonard and Duran over him as well.

    Hearns, Duran, SRL, Pryor, Camacho, Sweet Pea, and Curry would beat him.Chavez and him is 50/50.I could see him possibly beating Arguello.Davis Jr, Kenty, and McCrory also would hand him losses, and possibly Starling.

    Just curious, D. At what weight class would Hearns decimate Mayweather; 'n what weight class would Leonard 'n Duran breeze past Floyd?

    Probably loses decisons to Leonard and Hearns. Probably beats everyone else. Beats the crap out of Arguello.

    I never said they would breeze, i just said they i think they would win.
    And im picking Duran at 135 - 147, the rest at 147.

    Hearns at 147 or 154 does not matter much to me. His style and physical attributes im convinced are pure kryptonite to anything Mayweather can bring.
