Floyd never competed at 160, Why not go all the way up to Heavyweight, and ask how many Heavyweights on down could beat him?
If you're talking about Floyd fighting guys his size it'd be Welterweight on down.

You're probably right I was trying to think of a fighter from each weight and I struggled @ 130 I didn't think Nelson or arguello could beat Floyd and Oscar @130 tall and fastelmersalsa wrote: ↑21 Feb 2020, 20:26Oscar De La Hoya ain't beating no Floyd.paddy chavez wrote: ↑20 Feb 2020, 14:14 Roy Jones 160

Historically it would've been interesting to see how Sandy Saddler or Willie Pep could've done against him at 130.paddy chavez wrote: ↑22 Feb 2020, 05:12You're probably right I was trying to think of a fighter from each weight and I struggled @ 130 I didn't think Nelson or arguello could beat Floyd and Oscar @130 tall and fast
Lomachenko would make an interesting opponent, I don't think he'd beat Floyd, but it'd be interesting.
The Jr. divisions kinda come and go throughout boxing history. I kinda hope they go again here soon, and cease to exist because the sport is better off without 17 weight classes.

What do people think about Carlos Ortiz - Mayweather at lightweight?
Or Cervantes at light welterweight?

An old semi retired Oscar was very competitive against Floyd, no reason at all why a prime version couldn't beat him.elmersalsa wrote: ↑21 Feb 2020, 20:26Oscar De La Hoya ain't beating no Floyd.paddy chavez wrote: ↑20 Feb 2020, 14:14 Roy Jones 160

Saddler is probably the best shot there. Oscar could never do it, his best shot was when he fought him and he got toyed with.paddy chavez wrote: ↑22 Feb 2020, 05:12You're probably right I was trying to think of a fighter from each weight and I struggled @ 130 I didn't think Nelson or arguello could beat Floyd and Oscar @130 tall and fast

Shane had the ability, but unlikely the brain.

Mayweather loses to Carlos Ortiz at 135. I'd take him over Cervantes, however.

Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns
No way GGG would beat Floyd imo, Floyd would outbox him comfortably

Re: Pick fighters from 160 lbs and lower who can beat Floyd Mayweather
Yes way. Floyd NEVER fought at 160. A big, strong, hard hitting Middleweight is gonna be a problem for him.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑02 Mar 2020, 01:33 Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns
