Mayweather is unbeatable in this era of boxing barring going up to middleweight. IN his generation nobody would have beaten him. Margarito? No way, I have a lot more respect for Tony then I did, but he can't lay a hand on Floyd, Mosley? Mosley is just speed, he doesn't have the technical skills to hang with Floyd. Cotto? Cotto isn't fast enough, and maybe not tough enough to take all those counters(we don't know). Paul Williams, he sucks against a guy who can counter punch and stay away ala Quintana, and Floyd is a way better boxer on the move than Quintana is.

I see Whitaker and the 80's welterweight division in terms of modern boxing giving Floyd a really tough time, and the 80's welterweights its mainly because Floyd is so small for a welterweight, I mean p4p you put him at WW Mayweather would be 5'10-5'11(considering he was around 5'8 at 130). That means he would have been probably a little bigger then Leonard, and you look at Floyd at 130 he jabbed way more because it was a lot more powerful in comparison to his opposition, he also threw combinations and wasn't subjected to fighting off the ropes because guys weren't 15x bigger then him. Most importantly he had power at 130, he wasn't a Hearns type puncher, but it was very similar to Leonard's power at WW.

All that being said I think this modern group of WW has amazing debth in the division, but not a whole lot of ATG potential, I mean I could see Berto if he maximizes his potential being an ATG, but besides him and Cotto who in their prime or nearing it in the 147 pound division deserves that type of Greatness? Maybe Margarito as well, but I think by the time their careers are written Cotto will have a more impressive career.
