Maywether Vs Leonard,Heans,Duran at welter weight?

[JazMerkin]

thing is all these times Mayweather has been caught with are shots coming up at him usually. Whenever he faces someone that fights tall he dominates them and usually stops them. Hearns didn't have the best chin in the world and Mayweathers chin is very good and his defense is great too. Hearns was a sucker for a lead right hand and thats one of Mayweather's best punches.

The 2 tall fighters he dominated that stand out were Diego Corrales and Phillip N'dou. N'dou was a good fighter. Diego was very good. Hearns was a great fighter. And he had an excellent jab. Hearns chin was weak. But it would stand up to Mayweathers power. I see noway Floyd could beat Hearns

Duran beats him (he beats everybody) at Lightweight. But not at Welterweight. Mayweather would take a competitive, but clear cut win.

Leonard I think would pose the least problems for Floyd. Mainly cuz of Mayweathers outstanding defense. Leonard had all kinds of problems against Wilfredo Bentiez defense. He was luckly Bentiez couldn't make him pay every time he made him miss. Mayweather would

Pretty much agree with this

You bring up Benitiez and the issues that Leonard had with him, but what about Hearns? he had issues with him as well, or are we ignoring that fight because it was at 154? At 147 Hearns really never fought someone with a key big defensive style like Floyds so I'm using Benitez for reference even though it was at 154. So I'm not seeing no way that Floyd can beat hearns? As was the case with Leonard. Mayweather could make both Hearns and Leonard pay in ways that Benitez didn't. And it isn't a stretch to say that Floyd may have had a better chin at 147 then Hearns did, strictly because Floyd has yet to be stopped or dropped at that weight class. At the same time he hasn't fought anyone close to Hearn's speed or power. But the only person at 147 that Hearns fought with a style close to Floyd in terms of speed and power would have been Leonard, and I think Mayweather was a much better defensive fighter then Leonard. Leonard didn't beat Hearns with the shoeshine combinations he is known for he did it from firing from the outside between the openings when Hearns created them. Floyd is much better at that then Leonard and can get out of the way from a response better then Leonard could do too. So I don't think that Hearns beating Floyd is a foregone conclusion by any stretch.

Pretty much yeah.

And Judah knocked him down. And you know it was legit

Judah didn't really knock him 'down' because of his power imo, I think there was a lack of balance, but aside from that VD is on point.

Yes, Hearns didn't have it easy with Benitez, which is why I think it makes it to the final bell, but Hearns was an exquisite boxer, his chin is far more solid at 147 than Floyd's imo, only Leonard had him hurt at the weight, you have to bear in mind that Floyd is a 130lber who grew into a Welter, Tommy was a 147lber who grew into a Super-Middleweight. He may have been hurt further up, but the Leonard loss was more to do with his stamina imo.

I think he'd clean up enough of the earlier rounds to take a solid decison over Mayweather. Also all the people going on about Leonard should remember that he very rarely took fights over against elite opposition till later in the fight. In both fights with Hearns, the 1st with Duran & Benitez, he left it relatively late before starting to win rounds. The only fights he began well were Hagler & Duran II, and in both of those he boxed in a way he wouldn't have against a quicker, more defensive opponent like Mayweather. In a 12 round fight, stylewise, it works very well in Floyd's favour.
