    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.

    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.

    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.
