    A victory over Floyd Mayweather. Too many punches from too many angles to too many areas at the right times with speed and power and accuracy would simply overwhelm the shoulder roll defense.

    Oh I don't know. They really didn't know how to fight sixty plus years ago.

    He would've been the first and only Welterweight Heavyweight champ

    As a boxer anything he set his mind to.
    As a media personality he would be huge also.
    He would be in films, make records, have his own show and be as big as anyone has ever been. He would be an A lister with all the trappings, divorces, scandals, he'd be the face of coke (the drink ), you name it and he would be able to sell it!! The sports leading light.
    But could he take the pressure of the world outside boxing? He would need a strong team behind him to keep him on the straight and narrow.
