    He didn't fight pbf at 130 either:deal I could see pbf countering em with a shot he didn't see and hurting easily.

    130 has been around how long, exactly?

    Isn't that basically like saying Calzaghe is the best super middle ever? I mean maybe it's true in both cases, but there's no rich history in those BS weight classes.

    Morales would look at him sideways. Floyd's only chance is to turn this into a technical masterpiece.

    True but there have been some good 130 pound fighters and there's no shame in Calzaghe being named the goat at 168. I rate Calzaghe highly unlike some here.

    Corrales. To be fair to floyd pac MAB marquez and morales were too small to fight him though. I wish he was a natural feather.

    I doubt it. Raheem dropped em at 135 and he's no world beater. Pbf could hurt em.

    I think they're both great fighters, too! And you could be right about them being GOATS in those respective divisions that are light on prestige and grossly lacking in historical significance.

    My point being, the GOAT at 135 and 175 are far more impressive honors, and Floyd and Calzaghe don't come close on either of those fronts. Not close at all.

    That was not a legitimate knockkdown. The only man to beat prime morales was MAB. That's saying a lot.

    Zahir schooled Eric... like a amateur. And Mayweather would have embarrassed him as well easily

    Morales takes it Floyd doesn't fight prime geniune threats he isn't used to it.
    Floyd waits until Morales looks bad and takes a stanky points decision years later.

    There's been a 130lb division for almost 100 years.
