I have no problem with people thinking Hearns beats Mayweather, because Hearns was a hell of a champ and could knock out any man with his right hand.

But when people are saying he knocks out Floyd early or dominates Floyd... that's just crazy talk. In Floyd, you're talking about THE GREATEST defensive fighter of all time. Willie Pep, Benitez, hell even Whitaker - none of these guys had the defensive capabilities of PBF. And seeing how much Hearns struggled offensively against Benitez, I think it's a little niave to say Hearns just blows Mayweather out of the water.

You don't think Floyd was at his peak from 130-140? The best I ever seen Floyd look - possibly the greatest virtuoso performance I've ever seen - was vs Corrales at 130.
Floyd went up to 147 and 154 to secure big money fights, but really he was never a "true" 147 or 154lber.

As for Saddler, Floyd never fought below super feather anway, but assuming they could fight... Saddler gets dominated.
