    The one who demolished Chico?

    The one who manhanlded Gatti?

    The one who edged out Oscar?

    The one who turnbuckled Hatton?

    The one who was stunned by Mosley and then took him to school?

    Which version of PBF do you consider the best you have seen of him?

    He was at his best at 130.

    So of the choices you presented i would pick when he fought Chico.

    He was at his best at 130 but he looked sensational at his one and only time at 140 back in 2005 when he simply crushed Gatti.

    Btw, an interesting fight would be that 140 version of Mayweather vs the 140 version of Pacquiao who killed Hatton.

    Just look at the tapes with floyd throwing combos before he had his hand trouble.

    130 was prime floyd.

    The mayweather who humiliated Gatti at 140 was the quickest, sharpest, powerful, vicious and most brilliant floyd mayweather performance iv ever seen.. Absolute flawless victory.

    I still watch that fight back sometimes just cos it's so ****ing excellent

    Peak - 130lbs.

    Prime - Between 135 - 147lbs (including his trip to 154lbs).

    Corralles was the best fight in terms of him being an underdog


    Gatti was the best fight offensively.


    Oscar/Mosely fight was just a very entertaining sparring practice


    The Hatton fight was the best overall performance Offensively & Defensively.



    So It goes Corrales, Gatti, Hatton, Mosely/Oscar

    Pre-147 and when he wasn't suffering from his hand injuries after breaking both hands in 2001 against Hernandez, so the 2004-2005 may have been the best or maybe 2000-2001, he slowed at 147 and again broke his hand in 2006
