    Genaro Henandez had never been beaten at 130 & was rated #1 when Floyd fought him
    Manfredy (while not great) was on a 23 out of 24 streak with 1 fight being a nc
    Corrales was undefeated, rated #1 at 130 & #5 p4p
    Castillo was Ring champ at 135 & #1 in the rematch
    Hatton (although maybe past his best) was Ring champ & undefeated

    That's leaving out many guys that were also rated when Floyd fought them but may not have been in their prime...

    DLH, Mosley and Trinidad from 1999 all give Mayweather big trouble.

    Prime Chavez loses to Mayweather, prime Whitaker would be a chess match, prime KT has a chance (cuts the ring off better than most), but probably loses a decision.

    Could Mayweather beat prime Duran at Lightweight or prime Hearns at Welterweight? Despite my admiration for Mayweather's defensive skills, i doubt it.

    Its funny how guys are the greatest floyd slayers ever before the fight.......then after we get threads like these. Floyd fights oscar at a normal weight nothing. Pac fights him dripping blood from i.v. holes and the heavens open. Floyd fights hatton nothing. Pac drains and fights him and jimmy kimmel throws down confetti, so on and so forth. Floyd could fight wlad and vitali tonight win and people will still say he ducked fighter blah blah blah. Same will be for pac, im suprised there already isn't an app for excuses and reasons to discredit the guy already. Floyd is a good fighter pac is a good fighter, among others bottom line. Fans dont need to shit on another fighter to try and make your favorite look better. If floyd sucks, ducks, fights old fighters then someone beat him, not make up excuses why they can't or didn't. If any of the fighters floyd has fought beat him you wouldn't hear any of this past thier prime garbage. You'd just instantly make him a hero. Best case is that both these guys loose and we move on with the sport. Every other word out of boxing's mouth in general has something to do with floyd.........but yea he's garbage that makes sense. Next the nba will start to market the bucks, cause they suck too. Smh

    Trinidad never ever gives Floyd trouble, sorry. Oscar and Mosley would all be great fights if all were at lightweight at the same time. That's where Floyd was best.

    I think he beats Duran..Hearns it is damn hard to see Floyd getting inside of that reach. Leonard vs Floyd would be a more even fight IMO. The one thing Floyd has over all of these fighters is patience and ring smarts.

    Wow, i kinda remember Felix Trinidad being a real good fighter once upon a time? Trinidad is much taller and punched hard, maybe Mayweather's defensive skills avoids him long enough to get a decision. If he beats Duran then he is the greatest Lightweight champion of all time and i don't think he is, Duran would give him hell.
