I wondered about benitez as Floyd would clearly be quicker. But Benitez I think would have a useful size advantage, in frame anyway and maybe marginally in weight too, and clearly is a fighter who doesn't have to tip his hat to floyds ring skills or defence. Its not one I'm that certain on either way, would be interested to see what others think.

I ummed and ahhed over Benitez to be fair.

Several of those fighters were just too big for Mayweather though.

14.Jose Napoles

NO

[Counter-puncher]

Napoles was one of my most confident yes picks

[BroughtonRulesRefuge]

--- Probably won't win a decision against TUE against MGM officiating, and I'm older now and wouldn't want to go below 160 unless we got an even split, but no doubt he'd run from me like a grrl for hire on fire.

Be a lot more worried if Tommy Hearns was mad at me.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

No for Chavez, Pryor, Tito, Morales, McGirt and I assume Chris John and all the Middleweights are jokes. If we're talking hagler, Jones and Hopkins I'd add Joe louis, Holyfield, Dwight Qawi and Valuev.

[Counter-puncher]

Trolling or just dumb? Is a difficult question on the internet at the best of times. And the best of times, this ain't.

[SNG]

Of all the fighters he could have fought I would have loved to see floyd fight Paul Williams. Those long arms would have caused him loads of trouble.

Take it easy,Its just fantasy bruh!Another thing you calling me dumb if i want your opinion i would ask you and your opinion dosen't interest me all.

[davie]

2.Marvin Hagler - a career middle weight
6.Roy Jones in his prime - was a Light heavy weight
10.Bernard Hopkins in his prime - middle weight

Why are these guys even on this list

[elmersalsa]

Now, everybody from Jr. lightweight to super welterweight beats him. SMH!

When it comes to the great Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather, Jr is Dammed if you do, damned if you don't

What's funny about Morales is there is an gym tale of him giving young Floyd the business in sparring.

And where the fook is Chris Eubank Jr.

[Ambling Alp II]

I don't know if any of these guys beat Maywether. He wouldn't fight any of them until they were a senior citizen.

[King Carlos]

You forgot Tyson, Holmes, Louis, Foreman, Frazier, etc.

[Tuan_Jim]

I don't know if any of these guys beat Maywether. He wouldn't fight any of them until they were a senior citizen.

I noticed that only 4 of the men on the list had the caveat "in his prime" - does this mean the others are in the condition Mayweather typically prefers - aged 36-40 and going down fast?

Id narrow it down to those 12 who are dead certain to beat him imo.and id add a peak shane mosley circa 1999 , napoles and ortiz probably could too.a prime 1997 oscar definetly does if a shot 2007 one took it to the wire

[gilgamesh]

No for Chavez, Pryor, Tito, Morales, McGirt and I assume Chris John and all the Middleweights are jokes. If we're talking hagler, Jones and Hopkins I'd add Joe louis, Holyfield, Dwight Qawi and Valuev.

My thoughts exactly. I quit reading the list when I saw Middleweights mentioned

Pryor dead certain of beating Mayweather? Really?
I'd take Chavez and maybe Benitez off that list as well.
