    His work-rate at 130lbs was higher than any other point in his career.

    130 Floyd was actually fun to watch.

    Agreed...not even close. Kind of like comparing RJJ at 175 to his Superman alter ego at 160/168.

    130/135 version was more attacking & to a degree more exciting to watch because of this, he actually threw combinations regularly.... but the 140/147 version is terribly underrated, his one punch picking is amongst the cleanest & best Ive seen on film, his movement is not far short of his 130/135 days & his defence & ring intelligence might actually have increased.

    Any version of Mayweaher Ive seen has shown me pure quality in one way or another, you take the bad with the good when annalysing any boxer & FMJs good wins hands down every time out, even in the Castillo 1 & DLH fights - regarded as the closest of his career.
