As effective as a past his prime Oscar was vs Floyd using the jab, I just can't see Floyd doing anything with a prime Tommy Hearns. Hearns was able to outclass Ray Leonard behind that jab, and that is saying something. As good as Floyd is, at 147 he doesn't have the strength and power Ray did to come from behind . Floyd's best weight was 130-140, and the guys I would've loved to see him fight at those weights are:

1. Sweet Pea Whitaker
2. Julio Ceasar Chavez
3. Roberto Duran
4. Aaron Pryor
5. Prime Oscar

I'm a huge fan of Floyd, but I don't see him as the definite winner or even favorite over any of those guys. Not saying he doesn't win, just saying there is a really good chance he loses.
