WBC 122 lb. champion Erik Morales recently spent a few days training at
high-altitude Big Bear, CA. While there, Morales sparred with WBC 130 lb. champ
Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather. According to a Los Angeles newspaper, for two
rounds the smaller Morales put some serious hurt on the larger Mayweather.
Mayweather didn't like it one bit and stormed out angry.

Makes sense when you realize how hard Floyd is cheering on Manny in the Morales rematch.

 

He was the best of his era and is rated accordingly.

 

No **** pbf always loses sparring and fantasy fights but always won real ones funny how that works.

 

Agree

 

Word.

 

Faced Manny three times.

Floyd faced Manny once and that was enough.

 

Floyd would drag Morales up in weight like he did Marquez and exploit the situation to his advantage.

 

Haney apparently slapped up Floyd in sparring. I remember I did too

 

Haney couldn't slap the froth off a cappuccino

 

Sparring stories mean nothing, it's official results in the ring that count. Floyd's record is perfect, whether people like it or not. He was absolutely the greatest fighter of his generation.

Having said that, I don't think a fantasy match up between Floyd and Morales is very fair, seeing as Morales was much smaller. Same goes with Barrera.
