If Floyd Mayweather Jr fought in the 80's, he'd be one of the FAB. It'd be the Fab 5

    In the 80´s there were killas in almost every division and taking into consideration Duckweather lack of balls and his fear of a former flyweight i have no doubts that had he come up in the 80's he wouldnt turn pro he would be a career amateur and instead of being a rich coward he would be a poor coward but a coward nonetheless (somethings never change once a coward always a coward).

    Floyds gifts???
    You must be talking about the first Castillo fight, i'll tell you what we think:
    It was a travesty and a disgrace the way they robbed Castillo in that fight.

    He wouldn't fight them so how could he be part of it and be in the mix?

    FMJ would retire, beat up some lady, or break both ankles on purpose and then say that all four of them were ducking him.

    YDKSAB!!

    PBF fought Judah, Baldomir, Ortiz, Guerrero, and some red headed dude named Canelo. Those easily surpass the Fab 4 by a long shot.

    mayweather never beat anyone with a pulse at welterweight, people act like he can school great welterweights that are bigger than him, stop it. duran would have been castillo/dlh multiplied by 10, leonard/hearns/hagler would have walked through mayweather's punches and knocked his head into the fifth row.

    nothing in his resume suggests he can hang out with the fab4.

    pedjr's skills only work on bums. not atg's.

    notice there's no prime atgs on pedjr's resume.

    why?

    bec he cant beat them.

    closest is the midget marquez, yet he bloated and cheated him.

    too scared.:good

    I wasn't going to respond to this thread but this caught my attention, Mayweather isn't on the fab 4's level but you compare GGG, Martinez, Williams, & Pacquiao to them Williams career is over and he's no where near HOF I'm a Martinez fan but he's not HOF, GGG is still in hypejob stage, Pacquiao is on that level though. Didnt all the fab 4 fight each other don't see how that's happens with the guys you listed, and honestly for all the duck talk I would think the guy who choose the lesser opponent is the one ducking.

    Using Mayweather & Pacquiao as an example when it first broke down Pac went to fight Clottey who officially just lost and Mayweather fought the #1 WW an champ in Mosley. How do you duck to fight someone people consider a bigger threat or better even Pacquiao said Mosley would win and Arum saying Mosley is the real champ and that's the fight that should happen not May-Pac ducking is Brook turning down Alexander to fight a no name, how do you duck a guy only to fight a higher rated champ

    Floyd wouldn't even fight his weakass version of Fab 4 (Pacquaio, Williams, and Martinez) Even a weakass 154 Duran wouldn't be easy for Floyd. Floyd would stay at 130-135 to fight Camacho, Haugen, Chavez, Whitaker, Pedroza, Nelson, Fenech, Mancini.
