A lot of good points in this thread but I disagree with this.

If your talking about how things are against how things were, it's like apples and oranges. If Floyd fought in that era he'd likely be a slightly smaller guy not able to cut as much weight. If Ray was in this era, he'd likely be a naturally bigger guy able to cut more weight so either way Ray would be the naturally bigger guy.
Yes without question Ray would be the bigger man in there.

Obviously in Sugar Ray you're talking about a guy who ended up at 160 and even fought at 175.

Floyd really isn't a a true WW because he doesn't really cut weight. In a lot of his WW fights he's weighed in at 147 and came to the ring at 147-150, while his opponent weighed in excess of 160 for the fight.

It's a fight that could go either way and it would be foolish to think that it would be an easy fight for either guy. I believe Floyd is the superior talent but in boxing it's not always the superior talent that wins the fight (case in point Lamotta beating SRR, or JCC and Maidana giving Floyd close fights).
