Apparantly in the new Ring magazine they hypothetically matched up Floyd against the all time great Welters, and ...well...I'm biased so I won't speak on this right off, but here's the results (summarized)

1. Mayweather v Sugar Ray Robinson? Robinson would win "a close but unanimous decision."

2. Mayweather v Henry Armstrong? Mayweather "would win a fairly close but clear decision."

3. Mayweather v Kid Gavilan? Mayweather would win "via split decision."

4. Mayweather v Sugar Ray Leonard? Leonard would win "a unanimous decision."

5. Mayweather v Charley Burley? Burley would "drop Floyd on his way to winning a close 15-round decision."

6. Mayweather v Jose Napoles? Mayweather would win by late technical knockout.

7. Mayweather v Carmen Basilio? Mayweather speculated to prevail by "unanimous decision."

8. Mayweather v Emile Griffith? "Mayweather takes it on a close but unanimous decision."

9. Mayweather v Thomas Hearns? Hearns would win by way of a late technical knockout.

10. Mayweather v Mickey Walker? Mayweather would win by technical knockout.
