Floyd is the GOAT @ 130.

When you also count his offence off that defence, the way he could throw when avoiding, then its clear for me Floyd has to dig very deep to compete for the full 12 /15

 

The greatest h2h 130 fighter is Duran i'd say, I think others do better against Duran than Floyd does, I think he swamps him

 

135 Duran was better imo, he's without a doubt top 3/4 there.

I'd say that aside from Duran, Mayweather is top 3 130. Top featherweights like Sanchez, Pep, Saddler and Armstrong would undoubtedly do brilliantly at that weight.

 

Then you have Loma and Pac too

 

Obviously, Arguello needs a mention.

 

Floyd would have nothing to keep Roberto Duran off him, Floyd would wilt like wet lettuce in the sun from the 10th to the 15th rounds assuming he doesn't get ko'ed

 

I didn't want to appear like a hater, not that you do, I think he takes a beating off Duran, I think its a given looking at what made him uncomfortable

 

He does. I don't think he goes the distance with Duran though or again, late fight beating and he survives for the bell..The more im talking to you about this the more im putting a bit of a gap between Duran and no2..He was evil at that weight, pure hell ! I think he was unhinged a bit genuinely but could contain it and produce genius level **** !

 

I don't take you as a hater. All this stuff is conjecture. Who knows unless they would have fought.

 

No one in boxing history is putting a beat down on a prime PBF 147 and under and especially not at 130. Duran struggled against guys who used movement and had good defense I see him getting outboxed frustrated and quitting.

 

How? LMFAO!

 

Stop! A prime PBF isn't a heavy underdog against anyone WTF are you talking about? Actually PBF is a bad styles match up for Duran if anything. Lesser fighters than PBF tooled and beat Duran remember that.

 

Would have been good if he had faced the then undefeated Olympic gold medalist who was also a world champion in the same division at the same time, Joel Casamayor.

This is where a lot of the criticism of Floyd stems from. He won a lot of titles in a lot of different weight divisions but didn't face the best fighters from those weight divisions while he was there.

 

Nobody who beats Ray Leonard in their prime who was bigger, faster, stronger than Floyd Mayweather was is an underdog against Mayweather.

 

Why? Because you say so? You're a irrational PBF hater you have no credibility. You're mad that he dominated the era and you have never given him an ounce of credit.
