    How many L's does he take? Say excluding himself obviously and the middleweight fights vs Sturm and Bhop.

    Chavez and Sweet Pea have a very good chance at beating Floyd

    Quartey, Vargas, Trinidad, Chavez, Whitaker would also have given FLoyd nightmares.

    Conversely DLH would also have been undefeated if he fought the same fighters Floyd did.

    They have common opposition that DLH has lost to and Floyd has beat.

    Pernell is the only one that could test Floyd, he’s the only guy on Oscar’s resume aside from Floyd that is a true ATG. Chavez isn’t as good as his record suggests

    :risas3:Chávez holds records for the most total successful defenses of world titles (27, shared with Omar Narváez), most title fight victories and fighters beaten for the title (both at 31), and most title fights (37); he has the second most title defenses won by knockout (21, after Joe Louis with 23).

    Who on Floyd's resume would have beaten DLH(and I'm guessing we're talking prime DLH)

    Floyd was troubled by pressure fighters, (Cotto, Maidana to name a few), Quartey, Trinidad and Vargas would have fared better than those two. You're clearly underestimating JCC. He would have been Floyd's toughest fight at 140, IMO a victory for Chavez.

    I love Oscar's career so damn much. I don't even care how Floyd would do. I just want to praise Oscar. I love him so much. It's such a shame he's some coke-bloated sack of potatoes nowadays. Legendary career and imo helped relaunch the lighter divisions after their decline in popularity in the late 80s and 90s.

    I would have loved to see how he would fair against Rivera at 47. Rivera was a good counter puncher and was as tough as nails. I reckon he would have given Floyd a tough fight.

    I don't think Mayweather would lose against any of ODLH's opposition until Welterweight division.

    Pernell Whitaker = Obviously a dangerous match up for Mayweather but Whitaker was a bit faded at this point, and i think Mayweather can earn a close decision against a past it Whitaker.

    Julio Cesar Chavez = This would of been a good fight between the two at Super Featherweight, Lightweight, etc. But at Welterweight where Chavez didn't fare too well and add to the fact that Chavez was past it, then i think Mayweather should win a clear decision against a faded Chavez.

    Ike Quartey = Dangerous match up for Mayweather i think Quartey would give him fits with his jab, but is Quartey a tad one dimensional ? if Mayweather can work him out i'm wondering if Quartey would have any other answers. But i don't think Mayweather has the power to hurt Quartey at Welterweight would be a very competitive fight.

    Felix Trinidad = Trinidad is a huge Welterweight with a dynamite left hook, i'm not sure Mayweather staying in pocket vs Trinidad would work out so well. Overall i could see Mayweather losing this fight would be an interesting fight regardless.

    Shane Mosley = Well they fought when Mosley was past his prime and Mosley did badly hurt Mayweather in the 2nd round, i think Mosley would be alot more competitive vs Mayweather but i still see him losing a decision but it would be alot closer.

    Fernando Vargas = I think he would be far too big Mayweather plus he was roided in his fight with ODLH, i actually see Vargas winning this at 154.

    Overall the fights i could see Mayweather losing are against Quartey, Trinidad, Vargas.

    chavez was too old by the time he faced oscar, pernell was past his expiration date as well. vargas and ike probably beat floyd up. i think floyd is too slick for tito. all a styles and size thing. these guys arent gonna try and box with floyd.

    i think shane would have been floyds closest fight. hes more dangerous and strong of mind than zab. floyd would have all kinds of trouble with that speed carrying that power.

    It might be the less obvious that gives Floyd fits.

    Floyd was bothered by Maidana so can you imagine him dealing with a crazy Mayorga that he could not hurt or discourage?

    Can't see Floyd losing to anyone on Oscar's resume until the WW matchups. Quartey, Vargas & Mosley are pick 'em fights for me, everyone else, including Oscar at WW prime, beat him.

    the odd angle the overhand right came from kept surprising floyd. beating his shoulder roll. marcos hid it very well. worked on broner too. these bigger guys have an easier time finding that angle because of the higher angle they throw from, and can find it from further away.
