    None of the above, even if you include floyd from 5-10 years ago. He wouldn't beat SRL

    He lost in his prime to a man who started his career two weight categories below himself who was officially 2 inches shorter with a 4.5 inch reach deficit. He was also losing to Hearns before the 14th round TKO, which wouldn't exist today. So it's very plausible that an elite modern welterweight athlete could beat him.

    Prime Sugar Ray beats them all, with only Crawford and prime Pacquiao having any chance.

    I think Pac is the only dude on the list who might, Crawford is the next best on the list but I reckon Ray would beat him concisively.
