    Hearns would spark Floyd in 2 rounds, Hagler would beat the shit out of Slopkins.

    @Beanflicker do u really believe all what you listed? I like floyd hes very talented. But he hasnt had the defining fights leonard did to show us what hes really all about... What other legend has floyd beat? Oscar? Cotto? These guys are great fighters but not legends like duran,benitez,hagler,hearns. And leonard had all the fundimentals to beat all of these men..... Does floyd?

    Bean is serious, he over admires Floyd.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    There is a kind of hubris with many Mayweather fans when it comes to any comparison to any fighter in history. Now it’s gone from Hearns to Leonard. Imo Hearns would knock Floyd out but the Leonard fight is a much better contest. I’m not going to quibble about when Floyds prime was or is. If he primed out at 135 then he has no business being compared to Hearns or Leonard, I mean what’s the point? Compare him then to the atg lightweights and I can think of several that would also beat Floyd.

    These claims of advantages for Floyd over Leonard are incorrigible and I’m not trying to personally insult anyone. Wilfredo Benitez is arguably just as effective as Floyd as a counter puncher and overall defensively. Although Leonard admitted after the fight that he never missed with so many punches he still stopped him. I’m not convinced Mayweather beats a prime Benitez or Duran for that matter at any weight. Mayweather has never beaten anyone near those two alone in his entire career. Duran would have destroyed Castillo or anyone else Floyd fought at 135 and 147 and Wilfredo would have toyed with any welter Floyd has fought thus far. And don’t try calling me a Floyd hater.

    Leonard retired for 3 years prior to fighting Hagler. In honesty I think he waited him out. Leonard got ring size and gloves in the contract to boot. Floyd could be doing the same with Martinez w/o retiring.

    I think its unreasonable to match Floyd to a prime Hagler at 160 just as I thought in Haglers time that it was unreasonable to expect him to fight Michael Spinks at 175.

    Would push floyd to the very limit though! It was a great era and thats what floyd misses out on hes too good sometimes. When he beat cotto i thought he did it easy and then i thought hes too good its almost boring..
