Before anyone bashes me i want to be as objective as possible. Shane would not win. Sure he's "old" now but seriously i don't think any version of mosley would beat floyd. Reason being that Styles make fights and we all know that Mosley struggles with boxers.

About Oscar de la hoya, i dont think any version beats Floyd either. I personally think the younger version of ODLH was far to one handed to beat him, although a KO is possible, i wouldnt bank on it. Whitaker? No, it would be a toss up but i pick Mayweather.

Lastly (and I know many will disagree), I don't think duran beats mayweather. Don't get me wrong, Duran is the greater fighter legacy wise, but styles make fights and i see Duran being outboxed. I dont see Duran making Mayweather fight out of his element. But with a guy like Duran, you just never know.

Above lightweight I would agree though. SRL would be pretty close i would think but this Sugar would edge it. Tommy Hearns is the prototype to manhandle floyd. I reckon he would knock Floyd's block off. SRR I honestly don't know, but i'd favour Robinson.

I just don't buy into the notion that these ATG would automatically destroy floyd. I mean, hate him or love him, I think he has one of the most difficult styles to beat. Whether your name is Sugar Ray Leonard or Robinson you're not gonna just walk through a guy like May. Once again, i'm not saying Mayweather is the greatest of all time, far from it, but he's definitely got one of the most difficult styles to beat.
