    He beats them all he's the best there's ever been people just hate on him cause he's a bit of a dick outside the ring and a few fights have never been made. Look at the facts no one apart from Marquez has ever had success after fighting floyd they have all never been the same after he puts a beating on them.

    1. Floyd vs SRL at welter is a tossup. Clash of master boxers with hand speed. Edge to SRL in power. Probable edge to Floyd on defense. Slight height and reach advantage for SRL, but nothing that would matter. 55/45 in favor of SRL.

    2. Floyd vs Duran at welter I'd favor Floyd. Duran's best weight was lightweight, and Duran gives away 6 inches in reach. Helluva fight, but Floyd should be able to handle Duran's straightforward pressure with his defense and shoulder rolls. 65/35 in favor of Floyd.

    3. Floyd vs Hearns at Jr Middle. Not a good matchup for Floyd. Hearns was awesome against shorter fighters, and this is a much more natural weight for Hearns. The fact that SRL was able to win that epic fight against Hearns speaks volumes for SRL, not against Hearns. 70/30 in favor of Hearns.

    I pretty much agree with all this Tito, Duran would have trouble finding Floyd, it would probably end like Leonard vs. Duran II, "no mas".

    You don't sound very objective, more like just a big Floyd fan, who's never seen Leonard, Duran and Hearns at their best.

    Exactly what I thought reading this. I think all the legends win except the Duran fight is at lightweight. Different level of competition back then

    You can count on one hand the amount of times Floyd has been hit clean in his career. That's what give him the edge vs some of the greats of all time.

    Yeah but he has never fought anyone even close to those three. Who has Floyd fought that beats any one of them?

    A mythical match up I'd like to see would be Mayweather vs Marquez if they were both the same natural weight and met 2 years ago from now.

    Big up to Marquez for taking the fight in the first place but was no where near a even fight but no matter Mayweather gave the opportunity and Marquez was brave enough to take it.

    Could be wrong but chances are Mayweather would always be wrong for Marquez but without a huge natural size disadvantage it would have been entertaining.
