Better Resume at 130.. Pacquiao or Mayweather??

Mayweather is a consensus top 3 at 130 all time.

Done.

 

Pac>gay

/thread

 

Pac has a better resume and was a better SFW than Floyd.

2006 Pac beats 2001 Floyd

 

it's not pure resume though. he is rated top 3 also because of his dominance and assumed head-to-head ability on that weight. if we are counting resume only, arguello is greater than floyd at the weight.

 

Pac went 7-1.

Loss to Morales
1 great Knockout wins over morales and one good ( third fight was pretty much useless)
uninspiring UD win against a badly faded Barrera
very close and maybe controversial win against a briliant JMM
wins against Velazuez, Larios and Solis who didn't meant ****.

I think he had 2 great performances at 130. Morales II and JMM II.

Floyd went 26-0 at 130. Of course a lot of bums earlier on. But 2 Hernandez', Corrales, Chavez, Gerena, Manfredy were good wins in which he looked pretty damn great in most. Corrales is arguably his best performance of his whole career. And he stopped them all except C. Hernandez.

Have to go with Floyd here.

 

This.. I don't know about you but I think this* version of Corrales would fair very well against THOSE VERSIONS** (please note the asterisks) of Barrera and Morales.

Floyd at 130, had EVERYTHING. He had an amazing chin, good power, unmatched reflexes and overall, a great boxing sense..

I cannot emphasize how good he was at these lower weights. He didn't pick easy opponents at 130, because he did not have the luxury or name backing to... he just made them look easy.

 

As usual with polls like this:

Pacquaio fans will vote Pacquiao
Mayweather fans will vote Mayweather

These polls are boring and old.

Reality is Mayweather is considered one of, if not the best at 130 pounds. Ever. People will still vote Pacquiao though.

 

I don't think so about that one.
When both fighters are in a 1-1 situation There should always be rubber match to settle it unless the other decides to retire in w/c case Morales didn't show he would until the 3rd fight happened.

If the 3rd fight didn't happen, speculations like could've/should've would have been on the debate regarding the rivalry of the two and 1 side would claim other was afraid of settling this. It would have been a huge question mark dented in them, in which Manny clearly shut the critics out that time.

The 3rd round knockout made it look like it was useless in your point of view. If it wouldn't have been for that output, many like you wouldn't have refute that one. Regardless, the trilogy was classic and it was one of Manny's best accomplishments in 130 lbs.

 

Didn't Pacuiao LOSE to Morales @ 130?

 

Pac beat 3 ATG @ this weight.
Question is: Can Floyd beat them at this weight? Definitely yes!
In fact, I think Floyd will dominate them.
Floyd was a beast back then. Just unfortunately no ATGs to fight with

 

pacquiao.

 

Another could've/should've again??
You can make a case that Floyd would beat anybody back there
or even all of Manny's resume but the actuality is more important
not the fantasy ones. :-(
