floyd mayweather vs legends at jr lightweight?

I believe this was the weight where mayweather almost always had the physical advantages over his foes,, this might have been the weight where he was at his strongest,, definitely at his fastest..

vs alexis arguello ( considered one of the best )

vs roberto duran ( duran started at bantam )

vs flash elorde ( longest jr lightweight reign )

vs azumah nelson ( one of the very best )

vs willie pep ( few lbs above feather wont hurt that bad )

  • Surprisingly the only guy that may beat Mayweather would be arguello understand Duran is the prototypical fighter Mayweather would want.sugar ray Lenard only lost to Duran when he tried to trade punches.in the no mas fight we see that Duran can be flustered and out boxed. As far as the rest Mayweather defense and speed would win the day

    I think Mayweather would win all of those with Duran being the toughest (SD). Arguello would be a tough challenge also.

    There is a good argument that he is the best at 130 whether people like that or not.

    Floyd never fought a Prime Hall of famer, and now your throwing him in against legends. Floyd's big fights were lost to Castillo the first time, He was dropped by a past prime Judah, and a Brain Damaged Mosely, and struggled against a rehabbed DLH, who couldn't by a win.

    Alexis by UD

    Duran by KO

    Pep by UD, or TKO

    Floyd gets beaten by Pep and most likely by Duran, and he beats the rest

    I think Julio Cesar Chavez at 130 pounds would beat Mayweather. He would pressure him and make him fight his fight. He would not let him dictate the pace which he does with everybody else. Willie Pep Nelson and Arguello would also beat him.

    there is no doubt that Duran would win this fight, Arguello certainly has a chance to win, and Pep could also win.

    Duran would KNOCK HIM OUT. Castillo won the first fight with Floyd swamping him with punches, imagine what that would've done with Duran's power!
