Floyd Mayweather vs. Erik Morales @ 130.

MAB is an atg no question. But he is also a lot naturally smaller than May. Great fighter but no way on God's green earth is he beating Mayweather at 130. Your point does not come close to proving that either he or EM beats May there. Btw, I'm a fan of the 3 Big Mexican feathers from that era and don't like Floyd. Just for the record 130 is not MABs best weight either.

 

True. MAB was better at 122 and 126.

I just can't find a fighter on Floyds resume better than Morales pre raheem.

Sure pacquiao, DLH and Mosley were great. But that wasn't really them by the time May got to them.

I think this is a pick em fight. Floud could definitely win, but I respect and awkowledge that Morales is a total step up for Floyd. And that may be the difference.

 

Just to clarify matters, a case can be made that POUND FOR POUND EM and MAB are better than anyone that May has ever fought. However, that doesn't mean they were better at 130 than May was, or they were better P4P AT 130 than anyone May fought at any weight especially considering that that wasn't their best weight. And just for the record, what victims of EMs or MABs would you rate higher p4p than Mayweather?

 

MAB beat Morales at 126 who p4p is no joke.

Morales beat MAB at 122 and Pacquiao at 130 which is also impressive.

Do these victims rate higher than Mayweather? Tough to say because May is a H2H beast, but feasted on the likes of Hatton and Corrales.

 

True:good. But both Hatton and Corrales are naturally bigger than EM, MAB and PAC. Are they better than the 3? Nope, but they are naturally bigger although EM, MAB and PAC are obviously better p4p.

 

Morales looked like he didn't care at all in that fight. Wasn't the third Pac fight signed for four months after while the Raheem fight took place?

 

Did prime Morales do better against any other slick, athletic, smart, fast and skilled fighters? Mayweather's head-to-head advantages seem numerous and pretty obvious to me. I really liked El Terrible but in which categories would you give him the edge over young PBF?
