    For those who won titles at that weight


    Alexis Arguello
    Manny Pacquiao
    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Hector Camacho
    Oscar DeLaHoya
    Floyd Mayweather
    Brian Mitchell
    Arturo Gatti

    Who wins? All were undefeated at that weight. Consider ages, records and title defenses up to the point of leaving the division.

    Oscar de la Hoya just had two fights at the weight.

    This tournament should include Kid Chocolate, Azumah Nelson and Sandy Saddler. The result is the same: Mayweather wins, imo.

    True, although the WBO wasn't so powerful in that era.

    I think JMM should be in the mix. I think JMM will do well against most of the fighters in the list.

    Mayweather easily. He was big at 130. The most skilled too in that list. He had big punching power and speed too. Too much for anyone in history to overcome.

    I thought Pacquiao lost to Morales at 130lbs in their first bout? :huh

    Anyway, what a list that is!

    For me, I think it's between Mayweather & Arguello for the no.1 spot. Then again, JCC was a brilliant boxer at SFW. Very hard question this is!

    I can't decide who would come out on top, only that I think it would be between Mayweather Arguello & JCC.
