Speed SRL also Tommy Hearns, punch volume Pryor the contenders than would be good champions

Floyd is small for Welterweight...so no idea what bringing McCallum into the discussion proves. No one questions Leonard being the naturally bigger guy. If we use this kind of logic we could also argue that if Sugar Ray somehow fought Floyd at 130-135...Floyd would be the favorite.
May I remind you Floyd was light middle weight Champion so there is your comparison, you fight
at the weight, you face them logic has nothing to do with it.
Floyd may well have been light middleweight champion but the fact remains that was an inflated weight for him and a very comfortable weight for SRL. Weight may very well give SRL an edge but lb for lb I cannot go past Floyd.
