    In green: I have zero doubt they beat him. Zero.

    Blue: I strongly favor them

    Orange: Even money for them.

    Yellow: In modern times, reduced to a puncher's chance right out of the gate. I have to favor Mayweather by decision with a slight chance of them dropping the bomb and getting him out. Sadler in his time might be a better shot, I don't know how Floyd would deal with some of the tactics he might have used, even though I'd still favor Floyd.

    SRR of course would have beaten Mayweather as would have the mighty Pea.

    All of them have at least a 50% chance in my opinion. There is no doubt in my mind that the three welters all stop him.

    :yikes:yikes:yikes The state of the classic has really declined. Talk about completely ignoring the greats because they're still active. Sugar Nikolay Valuev. Come on, Jack. :-(...46-0 in his prime.

    Fat ones I would favour over Mayweather in different measures. The other two I would make PBF a fav over.

    I thought you just had the letters in wrong order and meant Nikolai Sergeyevich Valuev.
