Leonard would give floyd real issues.
Leonard would win for me more then not but he is also the bigger guy. The real mismatch in my veiw is Hearns because Mayweather skill set is not great versing him at all. I mean Hearns was never out boxed you had to knock him out which is going to be problem only Hagler, Leonard and Blade got it done but they were huge compared to Mayweather. I think Hearns would of been avoided to be honest an i would not even blame the guy Hearns was a freak of nature how he was 147 at any point in his career is beyond me because he ended fighting at fucking cw.

As much as I am not a fan of Leonard, I have to give the Sugar Man respect for taking on Yearns and beating him. That fight nearly ruined him as I think he picked up his eye injury in that fight.

In my honest opinion both Castillo & Maidana did beat him. His Vegas homie officials made sure he kept his 0 though
HahahhSaHaaaHAaAaaaaa!!! Still? STIIIIIIILL!!
Who was it cried & complained " Maidana roughed me up & bullied me referee didn't do anything to protect me" ROFLMAO So the cheating PED abuser hired Kenny Bayless to protect him Mayweather should be banned from sport & have his record expunged

If floyd fights another 6 times and gets old in the ring he beats himself.
Castillo came close against an injured floyd but look what happened in the rematch.
Oscar fight looked close but floyd won 8-4 or 7-5
Maidana did a great job in the first fight with his awkward style but floyd still won.
A prime Calzaghe against a prime floyd would be interesting (same imaginary weight class) but its still a win for the money man..he finds a way to win.
His skills are what boxing is all about and lets hope we have the pleasure of seeing him fight again..
Castillo & Maidana both beat Cheater Mayweather anywhere but Vegas They even helped him hide his PEDs abuse

I really wanted Floyd to take that huge chance for hiis very last fight but he chose the easy option in Berto unfortunately for us fans.
On a level playing field no where near Vegas & the blatant corruption several fighters had a very good chance of beating him Sadly no one was given the chance to do it.
He avoided the dangerous opponents & those he did fight he stacked the deck against them till they had no chance. As it was2 fighters did beat him in my opinion Castillo & Maidana. But as always the vegas officials made sure he kept his 0
Now with the IV gate scandal breaking & the NSAC refusing to investigate it looks almost certain he'd been Cheating a long time probably most of his career with the Commissions blessing. A very sad time for boxing
