    First I voted for RJJ but then I changed my mind to vote Pacquiao instead. What a fool!

    I'm just speaking the truth.
    Floyd at 130 is better than Pacquiao of 2009

    That is not the truth. That is your (biased) opinion.

    I'm trying to speak as neutral as possible. A good portion of this forum think Floyd is the GOAT at 130 and over 60% says he's at least in the top 3 at 130.
    I mean come on man :patsch Pacquiao was peak in 2009 and most people were still favoring Floyd to beat him

    I don't know where you're getting the "60%" from but opinions are opinions, so stop acting as if your opinions are facts. I'm not even knocking you for ranking Mayweather above Pac because that's your opinion. My point is that you really act as if your opinion is the only one that matters.

    I agree. Floyd was just ****ing brilliant at 130, the Corrales fight was a masterpiece.

    And I'm not even really a fan of his.

    I'm taking it from previous polls I've seen in the past. And my bad, I do admit that sometimes I act like my opinion is fact sometimes

    the best overall on list is chavez but it is hard to beat a prime roy never cared for him but his hand speed an overall athleticism was pretty incredable

    Mayweather @ 130 - one of the three best the division has ever seen.

    Whitaker and RJJ definitely top this list, but many of seem to have forgotten that the 135lb to early-147lb version of Mosley was a monster...second coming of Meldrick Taylor.

    This is going to be unpopular, but prime Tyson > Pacquiao and Mayweather

    The only two people that really stands out in their prime is RJJ and Mike bc they came out prime and seem unbeatable and then flop 180 down south dramatically. Floyd came out prime and basically sat there, a little bit better, a little decline but ???? if he is still prime or not sort of like hopkins and chavez. Pernel nose dived too. pac is in prime late.
