    Mayweather Senior troubled SRL a little bit
    before SRL got the stoppage. Sugar remarked
    that his defense was very very difficult to
    crack. May seem like a no brainer SRL
    is the only floyd senior fight Ive seen.
    I know Jr has more power, but what do
    you think, prime for prime.

    Mayweather Sr (61 years old with lung problems) defeated a prime Charlie Zelenoff with a reported punching power of 4500 psi.

    Jr would school Sr.

    Much more skilled and a much better overall fighter this wouldnt even be close.

    Jr would win a wide decision. Anything Sr did, Jr does better.

    I really can't imagine what Senior did that could possibly put him in a conversation about a H2H with Junior, honestly. I can't even see what he would've done to be put in the conversation of most of the guys Floyd was dominating at welterweight. How Senior would do against the version of Mitchell Floyd fought would be more understandable.

    Now, Roger Vs Floyd anywhere from 130 to 140 is a potentially interesting bout. Although Floyd did everything better bar punch, Rog' fought some real quality over those ten lbs or so and could bang well.

    Actually a World class operator unlike Floyd Sr.

    This is true, in the ring.


    Outside the ring, Sr kicks his ass.

    No, this isn't true at all.

    Sr is getting underrated, he gave Leonard a fair few problems winning the early rounds, he's bigger than Floyd, maybe got a better jab, with obviously similar skills

    Here's Leonard-Mayweather for those who haven't seen it

    I really wouldn't see this being close, if I'm honest. I'm not underrating Sr, I think he had his merits and put in some superb performance, notably against SRR, but Floyd really is an ATG

    Definitely true.


    Could be proven mathematically, Flea.

    Junior is an all time great. Senior was very good. That's the difference.

    Perhaps but Sr. is all time very good and that closes the gap a little bit more!
