He is in there there to bro... I made this list on the fly, I was bound to leave someone out. BUt I can place him anywhere on the list pretty much without much debate.
Mayweather would rate very high at 130, his resume is obviously his deepest there. Coralles and Hernandez were excellent wins and had a number of title defenses against usually good opposition. Head to head he'd be tough to beat there as well. He doesn't rate as a great in any other division besides jr lightweight. He simply didn't do enough at the other weight classes.
I'm not sure he beats Arguello, Camacho, and a few others at 130 but it was defintely his best weight along with 140 lbs he looked great at those weights
:deal The only boxer I see giving him a real run for his money at the weight is a young Camacho. I think Floyd was the best ever at 130lbs though.
Yea, every1 says Arguello because he is maybe the next best choice for number 1 at 130? But h2h i think Camacho would be a very good one prime 4 prime. I always wanted 2 c how floyd would fight against a defensive minded guy(i know Camacho may not be 'defensive-minded', but certainly a boxer), he just counters offense all-day , believe it or not, i wanted to see Spinks-Mayweather a bit ago!!!!
Yes! I agree, It would have been a great measuring stick for how Mayweather Jr. could have looked against a Camacho/Whitaker caliber style in an H2H. (Not saying Spink's in anywhere near a prime Pea or Mach....just saying Style it would have been a great clash)
All Mayweather had to do was fight Cotto (assuming he beats Margo) and he could retire without criticism. If he fought Cotto and retired I would stick up for him if any Mayweathers haters started saying he needs to fight fighters X Y and Z.
Yea, that was the reasoning i wanted to see it. If a guy stands stiil in front of Floyd they get totally set up for combos, if a guy comes forward without discipline they get countered, and if a guy is technically sound and comes forward Floyd normally just adjusts if they're doing well and then dominates the rest of the fight. But what about a runner or someone who just wont co-operate? Who knows, Floyd might still just outbox them, but it would be nice to know for sure though
His groupies????? Even Doug Fischer considers him an ATG 130-pounder. Is he one of Maweather's groupies?
:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl The domination would have been worse than the one we saw on Corrales-Freitas or Corrales-Mayweather.
