    Boxers during when Floyd was active....no...I don't see anyone from 154 down being favored to beat him....then again I don't know it maybe depends on the time frame and year he was active and maybe the opponent as well. Like Vernon Forrest would have been a nightmare.

    All time.....there are plenty....but I think he can make most if not all competitive.

    In Floyd's era, who DEFINITELY beat Floyd:
    Prime Pac.
    Prime Oscar is completely 50:50, if I had to choose one it'd be Oscar.
    Prime Castillo
    Golovkin if that counts.

    Overall, who (prime) COULD beat Floyd:
    Pacquiao, De La Hoya, Castillo, Khan, Forrest, Mosley, Williams, Margarito, Forrest.

    With or without the TRT and IV? You have to qualify the question.

    I think Paul Williams would have certainly have him a lot to think about at either 147 or 154 due to his proportions. The size difference would have been a major hurdle for Mayweather to overcome.

    Prime Cotto wouldn't beat Floyd.

    Connor McGregor will beat Floyd when Mayweather cherry picks him for number 50.

    While active.
    Well, Kostya had a chance.
    Dela Hoya in his probably.
    Barrera and Morales, both of them, not 100% sure of course.
    And Paul Williams, while of course less skilled and accomplished, he is an stylistic nightmare for Floyd.

    My God you're an idiot. None of those guys have beaten Floyd, not even SRR/FAB 4 would have in my estimation.

    The guy got his **** pushed in by Vincent Phillips would have beaten Floyd? LMFAO.

    None of those guys would have any chance of beating no Floyd Jr. Floyd Jr probably knocks them all out in his prime.

    Anyone who had skill and fought outside of Vegas. Not massive skill either, Maidana for example would have got the UD anywhere else in the world.
