    I voted yes.

    You can make a strong case for (in no particular order) Arguello, Chavez, Nelson, and Mayweather as being the top 4.

    No doubt about it. I would argue that he and Arguello are the top two.

    he is, he was unbeatable at 130 he dominated and looked a force to be reckoned with too bad he didnt follow through in the other weights,alexis arguello is no.1 based on resume

    See this is why you cant do polls when they involve mayweather! Too many people allow their personal hatred of the man to cloud their judgement

    Not sure about "Top 3" But I defo would throw his name around in a "Best of" 130lbs all-time argument absolutely.

    Definiteley at 130 the top 3 are Chavez,Arguello,Mayweather in no particular order.. You could arrange those 3 any you want as all of them are pretty even..... Nelson a distant 4th after those guys.

    there is not much history at 130, so yeah he can be considered top 3 along with chavez and arguello. i'd probably put chavez at #1. If you consider history at 135, he is not as you would have guys like duran, armostrong, whitaker, etc.

    floyd didnt really fight much at 135, time, his legacy is mostly based on his 130 period, Im voting yes as well.

    i meant if you count 130 lb fighters or resume at 130 as part of ranking guys at 135 or in the traditional divisions.

    Yes, in fact i'd have him 1st. Floyd was an amazing fighter at 130, never been quite as good since he left
