    How is this even a question? Floyd beat who at 130? He had one good victory at the weight class. Floyd isn’t even close to the best in any weight division he fought at, and Loma at 130 might be the closest thing to an unbeatable fighter that is possible.

    Pbf was facing jail time going into the cotto fight. Where were the excuses for him before or after the fight? These same people that want to make excuses for chico don't for pbf when he went through the same thing.

    Lmfao!! Pbfs wins over chico is better than anyone loma has ever beat. Loma isn't anywhere close to unbeatable at 130. Pbf would've dwarfed him in the ring he would've beaten him to the punch caught Loma as he tried to come in and busted him up. Loma is too light in the ass for pbf, too small.

    Lets not even say chico bro. Chicanito was a bigger win than anyone Loma ever beat at that weight.

    You need to watch more of Floyd's fights at 130. He has at least 4 good victories at the weight class, he just made the top fighters there look average.

    I dont know what “better” means but both resume and h2h I favor Mayweather.

    That said Lomachenko’s 130 run was impressive performance wise,he was damn near flawless vs the decent guys he fought.
    Recently watched Floyd vs Jesus Chavez-great fight,Chavez fought a great volume inside fight in spots better than Castillo and still lost.

    He literally had his bags packed and went straight to jail after the fight his head was hardly in it and he moved up a weight straight after didn't fight at that weight for years afterwards and got tkod in 6 next time he did.

    Floyd beat some good opposition at 130 back in the day. Alot of new to the sport or younger would say "oh I thought he started at 147", haha but names like Hernandez (Genaro and Carlos), Manfredy, Juuko, Jesus Chavez and the late great Diego Corrales. Loma beat Rigo sure, but he schooled lesser guys like Jason Sosa, Miguel Marriaga and Rocky Martinez. But for me, Floyd was better at 130

    To repeat what many have pointed out, Floyd has two wins at 130 that are better than anyone Lomo has ever fought.

    Floyd is naturally MUCH bigger than Lomachenko. It'd be a repeat of Floyd's fight against Marquez, except maybe even worse, as Lomachenko's even smaller than Marquez. I don't think Lomachenko could make 147, even WITH PEDs.
