    Nothing to discuss ... no he would not. He would lose to Hearns and Hagler. He has a good chance of losing to Duran. He would lose to Roberto at lightweight and at 140. 147 would be a bit more challenging because Duran was not quite the same at that weight due to his age. There are others Money would struggle with but nothing more need be said.

    No, he has no path to victory against someone like Tommy Hearns

    I’d have loved to have seen him fight Terry Norris.

    No. Duran, Hagler, Hearns, Benitez beat him. TBF, Hagler was probably too big for him but I'm sure they'd make him
    drain down to 154 or something.

    I honestly think Benitez would have the easist time with him. His style would have stymied Floyd and probably make for a boring
    fight.

    How about Marvin Hagler or Donny LaLonde?

    LaLonde was too slow, Hagler probably too big for Pretty Boy to make a fight happen. Certainly not at 160.

    Marvin sometimes used to weigh 157 in the days of same day weigh-ins. So that could have been possible.

    Lalonde was too big.

    I’d have loved to have seen the Norris fight because of their speed and styles.

    Simple answer no. Srl is also naturally much bigger than pbf as well.

    Of course not.

    A better question would be Arguello. Could PBF have done his career unbeaten.

    No

    Hearns is a stylistic nightmare for starters and that’s before we discuss Hagler and Duran

    Not sure Floyd at 22 beats Marcel tbf.

    SFW is the most interesting one. Arguello fought an absolute Murderers Row at SFW in consecutive fights.
