    Sorry, I thought it might be but didn't want to say anything for fear of coming across as a right knob, looks like I've failed in that regard anyhow

    Bugger!

    You could definitely go SNSV. That's perfectly valid too. :thumbsup

    SNV would not be mad. He would also urge us not to be. So, Valuevian lilacs of brotherly love to you (no homo), my brother.

    No he wouldn't have. He ran him close, maybe deserved a draw in the first fight. Didn't beat him abd he had two cracks at it.

    Pretty good list, but I'd be inclined to remove Arguello and possibly Pryor, and insert Dulio Loi and Kid Chocolate instead.

    Seriously, most of those guys Mayweather wouldn't even agree to fight. They were very good and they were real fighters, loved to fight, not just a waltz for 12 rounds for zillions of dollars.

    I mean, men like Saddler and Armstrong bring the pain. Mayweather would look the other way, avoid the issue, go elsewhere for his business.

    A faded old Oscar lost a SD but a prime LW one has no chance? Castillo can beat Mayweather but Armstrong would have no chance? Hilarious PP.

    I guess they probably don't have any chance since Mayweather would refuse to enter the ring with them.

    Delahoya despite having a massive size advantage got outscored 2-1 and wasnt as good at LW. Armstrong is short and Castillo was far bigger than even the WW Armstrong, still Mayweather won twice, the second clearly. Mayweathers beaten bigger pressure fighters than Armstrong time and again, Henry has no advantages here

    As for fighters not stepping in the ring with the best, Armstrong never stepped in with Burley, Cocoa Kid, Holman Williams to name 3
