Between Marquez, MOrales and Barrera who would have the best chance at beating FLoyd at 130? I'm talking a prime Morales or Marquez or Barrera at 130 vs young power hitting 130 pound Floyd? Does FLoyd spark them all out? Which one of the Mexican legends would have the best chance to dethrone him? Young Floyd was very fast and powerfull not the defensive fighter he is now a days. Meaning he could spark these Mexicans out but it also means he will be there to be hit by the Mexicans who were all offensivly gifted
Morales and Barerra would be very tough fights. I could see Morales beating him for sure , Marquez would be the easiest of the three due to styles.
A lot of people think Castillo beat Floyd in their first fight. Although Castillo was a good fighter, he was a notch below those three.
i always thought style wise morales would be a good fight of course id give barrera a chance but i think he may be just too small to pull it off
lil floyd wins, but i'd give Marco a good chance while el terrible might have more skills than marco, it still won't equal to the amount of skills of lil floyd marco would bring something that el terrible won't
prime mayweather (the one who fought diego) was on another planet. faster than pac handspeed, skills like prime RJJ. had he continued too fight the best out there kostya, maybe even morales or barrera he sure would be as high as pac in p4p list ever.
Hard for me to pick to be honest. Marquez seems easiest for him due to styles but JMM was MUCH quicker, sharper, and a harder puncher at that weight...hence the name "Dinamita." Countering the counter-puncher would not be out of the question in that match-up. Morales and Barrera would employ the best forms of educated pressure; Barrera's jab and combinations would give Floyd trouble, and Erik's ability to keep up with a fighter's punches and come back in combination would serve him well to catch Floyd off guard. I really can't say. All 3 of the Mexicans in their primes almost always found a way to win when in trouble, and overcoming Floyd's style and height/reach advantages isn't too monumental at that stage of his career.
