    From similar weight divisions, these are few fighters I think would have dominated/beaten pacman and money

    LightWelter - LightMiddle

    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Pernel Whittaker
    Meldrick Taylor
    Oscar De La Hoya
    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Thomas Hearns
    Roberto Duran
    Sugar Ray Robinson

    I'm not too sure on the others, pretty sure there are some big names I've missed out but that's because I've not followed them...

    Obviously styles makes fights, and one fight I'd hate to see is sweatpea against Mayweather. Leonard against Floyd wouldn't be a good fight, but prime De La Hoya would have schooled Floyd in my opinion!

    What?

    Mayweather hasn't even fought a fighter who comes close in terms of quality to Shane Mosley, let a lone Ray Leonard, Duran, Hearns, Chavez...

    A prime Floyd could only manage a split desicion against a washed up Oscar. Could you imagine what would have happened if Oscar was 10 years younger?

    Floyd doesn't have KO power @ welterweight, he was better @ 130 - 140

    shane mosely is dangerous but is he a good techincal boxer? i don't think so. JMM is a better tech fighter than mosley. Hell a prime castillo is a better tech fighter than mosley. Floyd doesn't get hit as much as leonard and floyd have a better offense than Ray. up and down all around floyd is everyway better than leonard. If u believe that duran who got boxed in circles when ray fought on his heels. How do u think duran will do against floyd?

    i think srr destroys both. i think duran beats both. leonard is a toss up vs mayeather and a favorite vs pac...he's too smart, complete and fast for pac, both destroy taylor, i actually think pac would fare better against JCC--his current power/speed might overwhelm jcc...bu the pac that lost to morales might be in big trouble, i think mayweather would have lots to do against jcc who is in many ways a better castillo--toss up. whitaker is a toss up against either, hearns could ktfo either or lose..but, pac is hittable and hearns destroyed anyone he could tag in the lower weights...i think mayweather would slowly break hearns down--though he is also prone to getting tagged by fast guys like zab and chop chop and if hearns landed....hearns weak chin makes me favor both of them but... hearns was alwys a cunnundrum, he could destry duran like no-one else, but then get bat badly by iran barkley

    leonard would destroy both, he is bigger stronger faster and all around better than both.

    Curious, how many posters will jump off a building if Mosley decapitates PBF. I believe PBF will win, but if he loses (KO) of course, this ESB is going to shut down for a couple of days.
