    Obviously not Hatton... I think a prime Tzyu would be frustrated with Mayweather... People are going to mention Duran, but does he manage to force Mayweather into the brawl? Or does he get decisioned?

    Mayweather is easily a FULL sized 140lb fighter, at that weight he can punish any fighter who will come face first looking to trade, and they will feel it.

    Who, at 140lbs, today, or in the past, had the timing, the acumen, the power, the skills, the style, WHATEVER, to be a favorite in a head to head battle versus Mayweather?

    a prime Jose Luis Castillo could beat him like he did in lightweight.

    Hearns never thought as low as 140 so that blow that theory out of the water.

    I'd make Duran about 60 40 favourite

    Probably have chavez as a pick em fight, chavez style would cause problems for mayweather but equally mayweather style would cause problems for chavez. He beats Tzuyu and possibly pryor

    At 147 though there are lots of people who can beat him, robinson and hearns doing the most damage:bbb

    I was thinking Hypothetically, but I take your point onboard. Hearns still whips him at 147- 154. Whips him badly.

    No doubt about it, the worst possible opponent that floyd could face at 147 alongside robinson

    You are correct, The viper like jab, Monster right hand, footwork, height, reach, ring smarts and the fact that every punch WILL count makes him Pretty Boy Kryptonite.

    Pryor at 140. Chavez would trouble him (and anyone else) Whitaker....
