    No, because it can't be argued. PBF is GOAT @ 130 and was putting demolition jobs on everyone. :oops:

    He would be tearing that division up today if he was at 130, it wouldn't even be close. :hey

    Are you seriously asking if a past it Mayweather is better than a prime Mayweather?. Your display of mental illness used to be funny, now it's simply frightening.

    Pretty Boy Floyd was a very offensive fighter, he was a bad dude in the lower weights thats for sure!

    Kinda like asking which version of Jordan was better. The high-flying, always dunking version or the seasoned, fade-away jumper, more experienced version. Both had to incorporate additional skills into their repertoire as they got older. Still couldn't guard Jordan. Still can't beat Money.

    PBFcared about fighting the best, then he met Jose Luis Castillo and eventually became Money, always looking for the path of least resistnace.

    PBF is better. Money May is loads smarter.

    PBF physical ability with money Mays IQ would be GOAT

    2005 Floyd was IMO the best version of him. Very complete fighter by the time he got up to 140.

    Hm I'm not all too sure about being smarter.

    The dude was so intelligent in there even in his younger years. Absolutely brilliant.

    I think he's so ring smart so ring-savvy that he uses his intelligence in other ways now, now that he's fighting a completely different kind of style.

    That performance he put on Corrales is legendary.

    pbf was a beast a defensive genius and an offensive master. money may is still a defensive genius but his offense is lethargic, no combos, no power, no killer instinct.
