Pacquiao was also a beast at that weight... In fact he's wins over Morales Barrera and Marquez are wayyy better than any win Mayweather had at that weight!
Come on man you act as if Morales was some bum or something... Morales is a true ATG who would had given hell to anyone that night
IMO The fight at this weight would had been A lot more exciting BOTH were beast at this weight no excuses
Any Pac vs May fight from 130+ would have been great to watch. Good reasons to pick both fighters. Kinda silly to discount either really. Both were faster more ferocious versions of themselves, but not as skilled as they are now. However now they are more skilled and bigger and stronger. They are both making weight much more comfortably. I'm sure if anything they hit harder now.
I don't think Manny had as great of an ****nal at 130 as he does now to trouble mayweather, if my memory serves correctly, he relied too much on the straight left and his right hand wasn't as much of a threat as it has been in recent years.
Floyd's best ring career was around that weight. Pacquiao was still 'raw' at that time, with some flaws, but he was powerful at that weight.
Floyd. He's one of the best at 130 (2nd to arguello), and Pac is still green, skillwise, at that weight.
