    I think Mayweather's win is rated appropriately by most people. Most people recognize it as a very solid, but not great win. The only people who hype it up as a great win are Mayweather fanboys. Because who the **** besides a Mayweather die hard would say Diego Corrales was a great fighter?

    You would see Mayweather with that “What the **** did I get myself into?” look on his face just like Rigo had :) Just like Walters had.

    Loma by TKO in 9. Mayweather would get frustrated and get his skull boxed apart.

    Still Floyd. Floyd would’ve knocked out that version of Rigo in 2 rounds. Loma cry’s every body shot and if he was getting bodied by a smaller Rigo, Floyd body him bad. This fight doesn’t propel Loma to Floyd’s level. Sorry.

    It would be a great match. Floyd fought differently then so I'm not certain that he would (at that point) have the defensive knowledge that accumulated later in his career, and also out of necessity.
    I almost don't know who I would pick. I would probably switch back and forth in my mind.

    Lol

    I'd say the other thread was right about being the most overrated this century. Some embarrassing takes including the above

    Over 7 years have past and I'm not in awe. Good fighter yes, but not close the GOAT. Not even the greatest from Ukraine, that falls to a real Goat candidate

    Prime Floyd would box the head off him. Have you guys seen Floyd fight pre hand injuries??
