    At 147-154, Prime for Prime, how would Floyd Mayweather Jr fair against these five Pro Boxers he beat in the past?

    Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr. (n?Sinclair; born February 24, 1977) is an American boxing promoter and former professional boxer who competed between 1996 and 2017. He retired with an undefeated record and won 15 major world championships spanning five weight classes from super featherweight to light middleweight. This includes the Ring ****zine title in three weight classes and the lineal championship in four weight classes (twice at welterweight). As an amateur, he won a bronze medal in the featherweight division at the 1996 Olympics, three U.S. Golden Gloves championships (at light flyweight, flyweight, and featherweight), and the U.S. national championship at featherweight. After retiring from professional boxing in August 2017, he transitioned to exhibition boxing. He is referred to as one of the best defensive boxers in history: since the existence of CompuBox, Mayweather is the most accurate puncher among professional boxers, having the highest plus–minus ratio in recorded boxing history. He has a tied record of 26 consecutive wins in world title fights (10 by KO), 23 wins (9 KOs) in lineal title fights, 24 wins (7 KOs) against former or current world titlists, 12 wins (3 KOs) against former or current lineal champions, and 5 wins (1 KO) against International Boxing Hall of Fame inductees. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in the class of 2021. At the end of his career his record was 50 wins, 0 Losses and 27 wins via KO.




    How would he fair against:

    Miguel Cotto (32-0, 26 KOs) from 2008.


    Canelo Alvarez (51-1-2, 35 KOs) from 2017-2018. (If Alvarez made the "155" catchweight he used constantly)


    Shane Mosley (35-0, 32 KOs) from 2000.


    Oscar De La Hoya (30-0, 24 KOs) from 1999.


    Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2) from 2011.

    He beats them all easier than how he originally beat them. He is the greatest of all time. Never got hit or got caught with 750ml of IV. Pacquiao is a steroid cheat.

        I’d pick him to beat them all tbh. I always felt a younger Oscar would have given him big problems but I still think Floyd figures him out.

        The only fighters I’d confidently pick to beat Floyd prime for prime are Ray Robinson, Ray Leonard and finally Tommy Hearns who I believe knocks him out.

          He'd always beat Canelo but the other guys have a good chance of beating him that's why outside of Oscar he ducked the prime versions of those guys

            Cotto: draw. I've always underrated Cotto, he has a very deceptive style. He's very similar to Buddy McGirt, beats everyone who is not super elite. But I have a feeling both would cancel each other out.

            Mosely: I think a prime Mosely beats Floyd, just too fast, too expolsive. Past his prime Mosely severly stunned Floyd and had him holding on for dear life.

            Canelo: Floyd beat prime Canelo.

            Oscar: I think Floyd beats prime Oscar just like Mosely did.

            Many: I dont see this one turning out any differently than their fight.

              I think he beats all of them. How do we assume he gets knocked out? How do we assume he gets outboxed? There could be very close fights for sure, but there’s nothing to show that he would lose. Basically what I’m saying is that if we take everything that we have seen and went back in time there’s no way he would be an underdog in any of those fights. You could say “I just have a feeling so and so knocks him out” but it f you have ever said that before then you were wrong. So ask yourself how well you predicted the outcomes of Floyd’s fights and then be honest with what your assumptions are worth?. If you ever bet against him you lost. Almost every fighter that fought him has said that he was better than they thought. Everyone knows what punches he throws yet they can’t seem to get out of the way. People think they can bum rush him or beat him against the ropes. His counter punches hurt. Nobody could walk him down. Your punch output goes down and your connect percentage goes down when you fight him. “I damn near feel every punch coming” - Floyd Mayweather

                All very valid points. For what it's worth, I think he lost the first Costillio fight, history says otherwise.

                  May's prime was not WW
                  He was functional at WW due to weight gain.

                  May still beats them all.

                    Manny has no chance at any weight from 130 to 147, the earlier they fight the more a wash Manny will receive.
