    Duran didnt outbox Leonard he out fought him (in the trenches) and Leonard was sucked into to fighting Durans fight look what happened in the return bout when Leonard BOXED Durans ears off and he NO MAS was what happened

    duran losing the rematch was more to do with duran losing his way after the fight then leonnards special boxing abilities but i agree in the 1st fight duran outfought leonnard

    I disagree with Arguello, Pryor and DLH but the rest would probably have whooped him.

    I voted for.....
    Robinson
    Leonard
    Hearns
    Armstrong
    Duran
    Whitaker
    To beat him.... tho Im not sure about Whitaker stylewise.

    I never voted for DLH, Arguello, Saddler or Pryor but 3 of those have a serious shot to beat Floyd... I think Floyd tears Saddler up tbh.

    Ps. I wouldnt have had to list all this **** if you ticked the simple box that says `make votes public`.... that means we can all see who voted for who.

    :good

    He has a better shot at beating Duran than he has Leonard or Hearns IMO but I do agree, Duran beats him as well.

    to be fair, these guys wouldn't kick floyd's ass coz floyd would not fight them (except for oscar). ;)

    No he doesnt, not even a punchers chance... you need to watch more of Hearns if you think anything other than a Hearns domination would happen vs Mayweather, probably a KO win for Hearns.

    Hearns is the worst fight for Floyd out of all of them.

    He would probably beat Arguello..Saddler would struggle in Floyds era but would have PBF in the foetal position in Sandy's time.

    Im surprised more people dont think Oscar would beat him...I think its a terrible fight for Floyd. He want exactly convincing against a past prime version of the man. It wouldnt be a landslide for ODH or anything but I see him getting it more times than not.

    Floyd is a ****ing excellent fighter...but so are those guys..as said before its testament to how good he is that only those guys are getting picked over him. Honestly there are probably more who would knock him off but not a hell of a lot more.

    Yeah that is a very bad post...Its almost surely a pisstake because basically none of it is "factual".

    these same guys would beat alot of fighters today and also have beaten each other.....no shame in losing to any o these but i suspect witht he excellent talent that Floyd has he wins his fare share and loses his fare share.

    You can't say he doesn't even have a puncher's chance. I know it was a higher weight and stage of his career, but even Barkley had a puncher's chance.

    I would have Hearns a big favourite but an accurate puncher like Mayweather definitely has a decent puncher's chance.

    The only 100% definite's in my eyes are SRR, SRL, Duran and Homicide Hank.

    :lol:

    Oh come on dude..Barkley knocked out heavyweights. Floyd has knocked out like one guy in the last 5 years.

    Floyd has basically no chance but he has a better chance of somehow burrowing his way inside and outboxing Tommy there than knocking him out.
    Hearns' chin is no where near as bad as its made out to be sometimes...Certainly not bad enough to succumb to the punches of old Money.
