PBF has more explosive speed, but he doesn't throw combinations the same way. 130-135 pound Mayweather was faster than Leonard, but latter on I think they equaled out in speed or maybe little in favor of Mayweather. I think Mayweather would beat Duran in close fights from 135-147 or split wins like Leonard did with Duran, I think he would go on the offensive against Leonard like he did against Judah, and win a close decision. Against Hearns I think he gets outboxed early because of Hearns' height and speed, but then Mayweather will work inside and eventually take over the fight as Hearns would tire out. Hagler... Mayweather would have never fought Hagler.

While I know these guys are all bigger than Mayweather, and comparible athletes I think he is a more schooled fighter than any of them.
Sorry buddy but you are dreaming if you think Mayweather could beat Hearns , Tommy was fast and carried massive power , Mayweather wouldnt even be able to outbox him and he sure as hell doesnt hit hard at welter.
Leornard wins , Hagler well thats murder for a monster like Marvin , Duran well Mayweather at least is a similar natural size so would have a chance.
