At 130-135, I make PBF a slight underdog against Camacho and Chavez.

At 140, like-wise, I make him a slight underdog against Pryor.

At 147, there's a fairly decent sized list of guys I'd make the favorite over PBF.
Mayweather would have beaten Chavez or Camacho, Camacho wasn't as good as PBF in any way, and Chavez didn't do well against moves.

I also see him beating Pryor because once against he is too quick, and too hard to hit.

I see Hearns giving Mayweather a lot of difficulties, but we don't know if Mayweather could handle Hearns' punch or not, if Mayweather can avoid Hearns' punches like he did against Oscar I see him winning, if he can't I see Hearns winning UD.
I think Hearns wins a 12 round fight, but Mayweather would win a 15 round fihgt against Hearns because of his great stamina and ability to fight so well late in a fight. I find Mayweather having an impossible time trying to out box Hearns from the outside, but I truly believe he would find a way to clsoe the gap, whether by going underneath Hearns' jab or using that right hand he used against Hatton. Regardless I think Floyd would fight a much more Pernell Whitaker type toe to toe fight with Hearns which basically how he fought Hearns, much less movement, standing there and relying on his speed and defensive skills.

I think Mayweather the hardest time with Duran or Leonard, Leonard can match Mayweather with speed, but he has the height advantage, but that would be a close fight with Leonard a favorite to many, and he has that great jab. The one thing I see Floyd being able to win is that those fast combinations would be useless against his defense, I think Leonard was easier to read in terms of what he was going to do, and Mayweather has the better defense. Instead of Leonard's power because he's a natural welterweight, I think its his jab alone that gives Mayweather all kinds of trouble. Leonard is close to as fast or as fast as Floyd at WW, and I think that PBF would have troubles with that jab because Leonard could cover so much distance to land it, and he knew how to use to so well on teh outisde(Like against Benitez), however PBF would adapt like Wilfred did, and I think this fight gets really interesting as it progresses. THis is Mayweather most difficult fight IMO.

I think DUran is a problem because he's a lot harder to hit then Chavez, he hits as hard as Chavez, when its comes to Floyd's power he is as hard to hurt as Chavez, and he was faster/better then Chavez. I think DUran had problems against Leonard in the second fihgt, but Floyd has never moved that much at welterweight, I think it would be a great fight off the ropes with Floyd fighting like he did against Hatton, but Duran doing better than Hatton offensively. I think this fight is a toss up.
