I would strongly fancy all the top tier WW greats to beat Floyd but hard to see that many under this weight beating him. Certainly peak Duran, a Whittaker bout would be very even, Benitez would have a chance, as would some of the old timers

I think long rangey guys with a good jab would be the ticket to beat Floyd. Hearns and Robinson IMO are the 2 guys I'd give Floyd little chance of beating, but that's not to say I wouldn't give him any chance. Floyd is a spectacular fighter. I would say Floyd is pretty even with most of guys at the top of the field. Leonard, Duran Benitez, Pryor, JCC Sr., Whitaker, Taylor etc. Would all be even fights IMO with only Leonard being a favorite to beat him. Floyds toughness is unbelievably underrated by most people.

No one can beat Floyd Mayweathweather.. He doesn't exist...

Anyway, most of the list where well above his weight, not very realistic.. You might as well add a prime Mike Tyson or prime Holyfield

Hopkins and Roy Jones, yes. Hagler I'm not so sure about because remember, he fought at MW in the time of same day weigh ins and he probably isn't bigger than Canelo, just an inch or two taller.
