I would pick Pretty Boy Floyd by decision. Too smart to get engaged in a slugfest. A thinking man's fighter he was like Michael Spinks, Gene Tunney and Sugar Ray Leonard.

Floyd Mayweather Jr was a very complete boxer.

Some volume punchers would've been too smart to try to outbox Floyd too. A smart fighter is gonna try to fight his fight, and while Floyd was excellent at making many people fight his fight, I don't think he could've done it with everyone through history.

Pretty Boy Floyd was very versatile.

Of course, the judges might save him. Doubtful that he would ever take the fight against a prime Armstrong.

As long as we're living in a world of hypotheticals, I think we might as well make that world free of corrupt judging.
