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.

Oscar De La Hoya ain't beating no Floyd.

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 fast

Napoles at 147
Duran
Benitez at 154 would be interesting
Hearns
Leonard
Curry at 147 would be interesting
Whitaker

Historically it would've been interesting to see how Sandy Saddler or Willie Pep could've done against him at 130.

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.

130 Camacho, possibly Tyrone Everett
135 Howard Davis Jr, Hilmer Kenty, possibly Shane Mosely at this weight, Pernell Whitaker, Roberto Duran, Henry Armstrong
140 Aaron Pryor, possibly Saoul Mamby
147 Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Donald Curry, Milton McCrory, Marlon Starling. Jose Napoles, Kid Gavilan

SRR.

What do people think about Carlos Ortiz - Mayweather at lightweight?

Or Cervantes at light welterweight?

Oscar De La Hoya ain't beating no Floyd.

An old semi retired Oscar was very competitive against Floyd, no reason at all why a prime version couldn't beat him.

I reckon prime Mosley would have had him.

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.

Same here at lightweight

Shane had the ability, but unlikely the brain.

Too many to mention at 160
McCallum at 154
SRR, Hearns, Leonard, Griffiths, Gavilan, Armstrong at 147
Duran at 135

I think Crawford would give him hell.

I wouldn't say 7-5 is being toyed with

Me either

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

i hadn't even thought about that but its a great call IMO

the more i think about it the more I think Carlos Ortiz would have a great chance

Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns


No way GGG would beat Floyd imo, Floyd would outbox him comfortably

Yes way. Floyd NEVER fought at 160. A big, strong, hard hitting Middleweight is gonna be a problem for him.
