I'm the first to say that Mayweather isn't some beast who wins every second of every round. Not even close. That being said, although the boxers from the 80's who were listed would take some rounds from Mayweather and could all go the distance with him, Mayweather would beat all of them. No doubt in my mind.[/php]

Strong call.

Hagler?

Opps.. I forgot about that fight!!!

Oscar didn't even try his last few fights. He was just doing it for the money. I don't blame him!

I was happy when Bernard put him down with that body shot.

Hagler would have a size and power advantage over Mayweather, but I would give Mayweather the edge in pretty much every other category. As far as defense and conditioning, I don't believe any other boxer in the history of the sport is even in Mayweather's league. Mayweather by unanimous decision. The weight would be tricky, though. It would have to be 154, or a 157 pound catchweight or something. Hagler would have to cut some weight, which would of course also be a factor.

You can see also that Floyd is cool as sh*t.

"Money" Mayweather is an act to separate people from their money.

People think he is dumb, but in fact he is a genius.

Funny how it works like that.
^ This. Mayweather is a genius. Half of the people buy his fights just to see him lose or be "humbled". There is a reason he made $80+ million from his last fight with Canelo. He knows how to promote his brand with that "money" persona.

Whitaker because of his speed (arguably faster than Mayweather) would have possibly won SD, but there wouldn't have been much of a brawl as stated. I don't think the others stood a chance, possibly Leonard.
