    I'd favor Pryor over Floyd as well. In fact, Pryor is probably better than all of the 4 kings besides tommy.

    I'm going to go with the smart fighters who want to make it a brawl like Castillo, Maidana. I won't say they will win but Floyd has a tough time with them. These two are head and shoulders above Castillo and Maidana

    JCC Sr
    Duran (i wonder if he would no mas Floyd though)

    As for "boxers" in their prime, here are just a few

    DLH (prime)
    Trinidad
    SRL
    Pernell
    Hearns
    Pryor
    ...

    They all have potential to beat Floyd, whether they could actually beat him nobody really knows. I feel PBF (prime mayweather) would rise to the occasion and maybe win most. The "money may" would certainly not be undefeated against these guys.

    Your the one who will just throw any name out there with zero argument behind it. Hamed would win because of corkscrew uppercuts? Also how simple minded does one have to be to think someone's only been watching boxing as long as they've had an esb account

    Who said anything about that? I was basing it on what was written, but there seems to be a correlation between the lack of substance used by people and their join date.

    McCallum is possibly the greatest 154 pounder ever. He most of the elite 154 pounders would beat Floyd

    Prime DLH with is power, speed and reach would be a tough fight for Mayweather.

    I think he beats him. Prime Pernell out works Floyd.

    Roberto Duran at 135 is almost a sure stoppage over Floyd.

    Very fair picks. I think Duran would have been his toughest test though.

    Disagree on both Hearns and Leonard. The only thing either really had on Mayweather was size and (in the case of Leonard), speed.

    Wait you don't notice a massive power disparity between Hearns and Floyd?

    By the way Hearns was faster than Floyd too. As well as the more skilled offensive fighter.

    Sorry, meant to write "power" too! Disagree that Hearns is more skilled than Mayweather offensively or (of course) defensively.
