    The 2 tall fighters he dominated that stand out were Diego Corrales and Phillip N'dou. N'dou was a good fighter. Diego was very good. Hearns was a great fighter. And he had an excellent jab. Hearns chin was weak. But it would stand up to Mayweathers power. I see noway Floyd could beat Hearns

    Duran beats him (he beats everybody) at Lightweight. But not at Welterweight. Mayweather would take a competitive, but clear cut win.

    Leonard I think would pose the least problems for Floyd. Mainly cuz of Mayweathers outstanding defense. Leonard had all kinds of problems against Wilfredo Bentiez defense. He was luckly Bentiez couldn't make him pay every time he made him miss. Mayweather would
    Pretty much agree with this
    You bring up Benitiez and the issues that Leonard had with him, but what about Hearns? he had issues with him as well, or are we ignoring that fight because it was at 154? At 147 Hearns really never fought someone with a key big defensive style like Floyds so I'm using Benitez for reference even though it was at 154. So I'm not seeing no way that Floyd can beat hearns? As was the case with Leonard. Mayweather could make both Hearns and Leonard pay in ways that Benitez didn't. And it isn't a stretch to say that Floyd may have had a better chin at 147 then Hearns did, strictly because Floyd has yet to be stopped or dropped at that weight class. At the same time he hasn't fought anyone close to Hearn's speed or power. But the only person at 147 that Hearns fought with a style close to Floyd in terms of speed and power would have been Leonard, and I think Mayweather was a much better defensive fighter then Leonard. Leonard didn't beat Hearns with the shoeshine combinations he is known for he did it from firing from the outside between the openings when Hearns created them. Floyd is much better at that then Leonard and can get out of the way from a response better then Leonard could do too. So I don't think that Hearns beating Floyd is a foregone conclusion by any stretch.
