Maidana was completely schooled by Devon Alexander who lost to Shawn Porter. And he's below the top 4 for sure.

The Broner win is being overrated because Broner was so overrated.

I agree that Broner is overrated, but hear me out. And I wouldn't put him anywhere in the top 4 for sure. Top 6 is what I'm aiming at.

Well the thing is Maidana-Alexander happened nearly 2 years ago.
Surely the more recent changes in the WW division should overshadow this loss.
Since the loss to Alexandar, Maidana KO'd Karass and Lopez, and completely outclassed and outslugged Broner.

What has Alexander done in WW recently?
RTD an overweight Purdy and then lose to Porter.
I don't think that should put him above Maidana at this point.

Don't think Robinson or Hearns would have an "EASY" time with him. Easy entails being able to completely embarrass him in every min of the fight. I would say that they'd probably beat him on their best days but it would be a good competitive fight.

I think Hearns has a easier time with Mayweather though than Robinson. It's Hearn's reach and destructive power. He was also a great boxer in his own right. The jab alone would pose a lot of problems with Mayweather. It wouldn't be EASY but I think he is the closest to Floyd's kryptonite if there ever was one.

Marquez has faded for some time now and it probably did take more out of Marquez than Pacquaio. Seeing as how Marquez is close to 40 years old.

But in terms of damage in the long run, it probably did more to Pacquiao than Marquez. Knockouts of that calibre take a huge toll on your body. It may not be short term, but he's going to see the effects later on in his life.

My guess would be Prime Hearns would stop Mayweather late. And Prime Robinson would either shut him out, or come very close to doing so.

Fair enough. Hearns could potential stop him or beat him to a wide decision.

Robinson same thing.

But it's entirely possible that Mayweather could pull a victory here and there even against those two. Mayweather's h2h ability is insane. One of the best of all time.

I thought of putting Maidana above Alexnader but I feel the Alexander fight was so one sided it's hard to justify him dropping below Maidana based on the fact that Maidana has beaten 3 Welterweight journeymen (I had Paulie beating Broner too). So I feel Porter should be ranked above Alexander and him above Maidana
