Those are tough questions. Floyd could hold his own against all of them but whether he could beat the welterweight particularly is another question. I would have more confidence in him winning at featherweight/lightweight against anyone.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Mayweather is not really a full blown welterweight. He is only fighting there because thats where the money is. I dont think he would have done so well against Hearns, Leonard and the like.
I think he would have beaten most people at the lower weights quite easily, except for Whittaker, Chavez and Duran. They would have been great fights.

Respectfully, you've made an elementary error.
In the 1980's there were same day weigh-ins. It's likely Floyd would NEVER have fought below 140 and would have been a welter/154 for most of his career. Or looking at it the other way with day before weigh-ins? Leonard et all might well be lightweights today.
Given THAT?
He loses to Hearns, Leonard, Duran, McCallum, Sweet Pea, The Hawk, Curry and he beats everyone else.
But let's be clear. Going say 45-6 against the 1980's welters is an enormously impressive thing!

They are all tough matchups and they are 2 different era's so it really is hard to compare, BUT I fancy Mayweather to beat all with the exception of Leonard. That to me is the hardest fight to call on there.
Hearns is a hard one to call too, we've never seen Floyd in with anyone like Hearns but on the other hand I don't think we ever saw Hearns in with anyone who could counter punch anything like Mayweather and I feel that's where he would take it from Hearns.
If only If only
