Floyd Mayweather Jnr vs the Fabulous 4, P4P

Was that supposed to be clever?

 

not soon enough...

 

Damn! you're on a roll today! With that talent I can perceive that you're on the way to becoming an e-legend.

 

"straight from the horse's mouth"

 

I don't believe in P4P matches, so by default Floyd gets out-boxed by Tommy, Leonard stops him in a 15 rounder, Duran mauls him for a decision win, and Hagler, well... I'm not gonna go there, it would be very, very nasty.

 

All you had to say was, "thanks, you've been a great audience" and this would have been a perfect comedy routine.

 

I'm mortally allergic to p4p match ups, sorry.

I think Duran would take 2 of a trilogy at either 135 or 147, at his very best. Floyd beating him could hapen on any given night though and every fight would be close.

I think Leonard would beat Floyd at welterweight in a 10-5, 9-6 type affair. Mainly because Ray is bigger.

Ditto, I think Hearns would beat Floyd by similar margins at 147 but in a much less entertaining fight. Goes without saying Hearns could land something big and blow him out, the reach and power difference is monumental. No detraction from any former lightweight/super feather to acknowledge that.

Hagler doesn't happen.

I think Floyd would sneak a win over Benitez with his speed and accuracy, much as Leonard did. Very, very close though.

Bottom line, I'm now pretty comfortable seeing Floyd's name in the same sentence as these guys, even though his resume & his attitude doesn't really warrant it.

 

Duran
-Volume punching is right. PBF isn't active enough. Potshotting, curling up into a ball & running isn't enough to get it done against Duran.
Duran by dec

Leonard
-He's jus better-Better power, handspeed, footwork, chin. PBF may have better defense. But again, Leonards too much in every department. PBF fights not to lose & loses a dec, or fights to win and gets stopped late.

Hagler
-Some may think that PBF may be able to steal (stink) a dec, but I think that prime Hagler is too well-schooled. He's no Ricky Hatton or old DLH.
The only ad PBF has is speed. He cant hurt Hagler, & if Hagler can apply effective agression (which I think he can) he will be too much.

Hearns
-Forget about it. PBF has nothing against Hearns. Hearns' jab, reach, boxing speed & power scares the shit out of PBF. PBF may think that he can crack Hearn's chin, which may lead him to actually fight. If so, PBF goes down.
Similar to Leonard in the sense that if PBF fights not to lose he MAY survive. My guess would be he's lucky to see the final bell no matter what he does.
