DLH
Duran
Robinson
Armstrong
Leonard
Chavez
Mosely

 

The great Azumah Nelson and PBF would be a great fight. Would love to see PBF against Don Curry, Marlon Starling, Simon Brown, Tito Trinidad, Hearns, Duran, the great Benny Leonard, both Sugar Rays and Pernell Whittaker. Yes PBF is that good to be classed with such great and historic fighters not to forget the magnificent Julio Cesar Chavez.

 

stylewise I think Mosley would always have lost to floyd, too imprecise and jittery when things don't go his way.

I think chavez is TOO SLOW. He had everything but speed.

Maybe Duran but Floyd might be able to pull of the extreme movement he showed against Baldomir and JMM, so I'm not confident of that.

PRYOR is the stylistic nightmare for Floyd: no room, no breaks, good head movement, whole lot of pressure, and really fast and fairly hard hitting too from unusual angles.

Leonard was never 140 pounds professionally, was he?

Floyd is definitely one of the GOAT at 130-140. Maybe Pac and Armstrong, but Pac hasn't looked great against backward movers, though he hasn't lost rounds. And I haven't seen enough of Armstrong to make a judgement but just on paper he sounds dangerous.

 

Whittaker and Duran... Dont know about whip, but competitive...

 

I kinda disagree with Floyd being more dangerous when he was more offensive in his younger days I believe its the opposite. He was always defensive even in the Corrales fight he was countering Chico not exactly going toe to toe. Being more defensive means less mistakes and makes his opponents confused thinking Floyds not willing to engage. I think Floyd had a good chance of beating any 140lber in history. 140lbs tho is a much younger division tho. 147 Floyd would draw or lose to hall of famers in their prime Oscar, Mosley, Forrest, Curry, and lose with ATG WWs like Gavilan, Robinson, Hearns, and Leonard. The best version of Duran, the one that beat SRL, definitely wont let Floyd fight in his zone.

 

Chavez is like Castillo on steroids and with more skills. And even the 2nd fight Floyd only beat Castillo by 2 points... So how is he gonna beat Chavez at 135? no way.

 

I'm certain to be forgetting many.

Remember what Castillo did? Duran and Chavez do that, but harder and better. Floyd would get wrecked.

 

floyd had no skills, none.

 

Duran outmans him.

 

Armstrong
Duran
Whitaker
Chavez

All beat Floyd

 

I agree that Chavez beats Mayweather at 135 but c`mon, try calling it like it is, you seriously gonna tell me the judges got it spot on calling Floyd a 2 point winner in the 2nd Castillo fight ????

Floyd beat Castillo by more than that, judges are infamous for being wrong A LOT... this is one of those occassions... they got the winner correct but the margin wrong.
