    I'm favoring The Macho Man, what say you?

    Floyd was untouchable at 130 pounds.

    I loved Camacho but no doubt Floyd takes this.

    Agreed
    Camacho is slick, fast etc, but gotta go Floyd here. He even had great power at 130 too

    Oh yes he was a combination puncher at 130 stopping many at that weight.

    I always thought had his hands remained intact, that 140 would have been his greatest weight. Obviously 147 was more lucrative, but he beat Gatti like he stole something.

    Not his greatest opponent, but that was a high class performance. I'd love someone to show me anyone now who could beat a fighter of that quality and make it look.like he never boxed before

    Camcho was too fast at 130, he'd throw Floyds counter punching way off and it's not Floyd's style to try to walk down a fighter and corner him.

    That night even SRR could not have done it any better.

    Camacho by decision. Too fast, (both of hand and foot), and too busy for Floyd to follow his typical gameplan. And, Camacho was never stopped his entire career spanning many weights. Floyd is certainly not hurting him.
