Which pre-1980s fighters, 140lbs or under, would you favor over Floyd Jr?

How much have you seen?

He may not win...he is a dark horse pick..but he wouldn't get schooled or beaten wide, unless the mob wanted it that way.

 

wilfredo benitez @ 140 and saddler @ 130

 

Duran
Armstrong
Angott
Jack
Graham
Robinson
Pep
Napoles

A lot more 50-50's:

Loi
Ortiz
Perkins
Larkin
Dawson
Williams
Cervantes
Benitez
Laguna
Buchanan
DeJesus

 

Against floyd he'd be way out of his depth skillwise.

Watch carter's fights, a schooling is the most likely outcome.

 

My question is yet to be answered luffy...what have YOU actually seen of Carter that leads to believe he would schooled by PBF?

Or are you basing that on his patchy looking record boxrec tells you?

 

You judge fighters skills based on boxrec?

Mate that's not the best way of judging a fighter's skills. You're much better off watching available fights.

Carter has a fair few available on youtube so I suggest you watch them and the make your decision.

He looks particularly bad against araujo but you might not realise that if all you judge it from is boxrec because he actually got the stoppage victory.

 

Muangsurin.

 

I think the best chance of anyone is Benny Leonard at lightweight.

 

I think you might have missed the point, luf.

 

Napoles to me was more smooth than fast. I think Mayweather wins here.


I think Pryor would get to Mayweather. A hard hitting iron chinned fighter with skills and stamina is the best formula to beat Mayweather.


Williams was hot and cold. At his best he could win, but I would favor Mayweather in general.


I have not read or seen enough Beau to comment.

 

Mayweather isn't proven enough to even mix in some of the circles y'all are putting him in.

Paul Fuji.

 

The point is it's good, nay, essential to watch footage if you're to make an educated pick.

 

Whitaker at lightweght. 116 to 112a unanimous

 

Benny Leonard
The only other guy I'd pick over Mayweather is Pernell Whitaker
Mayweather would beat everyone else 140 and lower.

 

Mayweather's victory over chico is amongst the very best on film imo.
