    There are 4 fighters on this list who I don't think, but KNOW would beat Floyd at the mentioned weights: Duran at lightweight (was too much of an animal at 135), Robinson at welterweight (G.O.A.T.), and Norris and Benitez at Jr Middleweight (however that's only because Floyd clearly is too small for 154 as he showed when he weighed in 4 lbs under the limit his only fight there, he beats Benitez at every other weight). Sorry to say but of the 4 greats of the 80s Leonard is by far the most overrated. People b!tching that Floyd handpicked opponents need to first get a clue and realize Leonard was the Godfather of handpicking and dodging and maneuvering and waiting, only difference is Floyd doesn't have Angelo Dundee to cover his butt and say he instructed his fighter to wait on fighting certain people (just ask Hearns and Pryor and Hagler), and the dude flat out lost to Hagler. Also, of all the fighters mentioned only one has a GLARING weakness, and that's Hearns which is his conditioning. Match that with a fighter whose conditioning has not been surpassed by anyone and Tommy has a serious problem, not to mention I'm sick of people thinking that every single time Hearns landed his right hand he automatically just ended the fight at that moment. Yes he's pound for pound possibly the hardest puncher ever but ya'll do realize he landed it flush on several other opponents and they continued on.
