Sanchez @ 130 now Chava was one of the better fighters at 126 but he could have EASILY made the move up to 130 and dominate.
Leonard from 140-154 he was one of the fastest slickest and best boxers ever. He's too quick and too slick for PBF
Hearns 147-154 his power and boxing skills are undenyable. He would blast Floyd out EASY.
ODH from 130-154 he would be too tough to KO and slick enough himself to win a decision and he has more power than anyone Floyd has stepped int he ring with
Mosley 135-154 he's quick, tough and has more power than Floyd...you don't brawl with him for too long
M. Taylor just like Shane but threw the quickest combinations I have ever seen
Pryor one tough SOB at 140 there are very few who could last 12 with him
Basillio at 147 beat a Prime Ray Robinson....that good enough reason for you He's small but packed a hell of a punch and had great workrate
Robinson 147 one of the GREATEST P4P EVER!!!
Whittaker 147 he's slick, he's quick, and almost impossible to hit
Trinidad 147-154 he's got great power like Hearns and he knows how to use it
Wright 154 best defensive fighter out there today
Arguello 130-135 big, powerful and a good boxer

Those good enough reasons? I mean I think if you really want to talk about it explain to me why Floyd would be favored in any of those fights?


Pryor!!!!!....Man you ain't kidding there...I don't know how many of you guys were around in the 80's but Pryor was a genuinely bad M&^%$# F^%$#!!!!....As good as Arguello was Pryor beat him like a chain snatcher in the park...NO ONE!!!!! AND I MEAN NO ONE...Wanted to fight that man...Believe me there was no shame in that....
