    And the biggest reason he fought like that at 130 was because most were journeyman paid to be destroyed be a top prospect.

    Exactly he beat journeyman mostly at 130 which is why he was more aggressive. His toughest opposition at 130 was Corrales. And during that fight Floyd was on his bike fighting off the back foot the entire time.

    corrales also can't use a jab to save his life. he was never that good IMO. he just had heavy hands

    Wins over G.Hernandez Lineal SFW Champ and unbeaten at the weight, A.Manfredy who was #2 at the time, C.Hernandez who went on the become WBC SFW Champ with a decent run, J.Chavez who afterwards won WBA SFW & IBF LW Titles, D.Corrales P4P unbeaten IBF SFW Champ on top of wins vs guys who were just decent rated contenders at the time like Vargas,Rios,Grenea*

    We're not talking about your dreams and fantasies wherein Floyd knocks out everybody. He ain't knocking anybody out.

    I find that hard to believe as he got his azz kicked by Castillo at 135.

    weak competition.. who did corrales beat? who did carlos and genaro hernandez beat? and when you tell me who they beat, tell me who those people beat that make them credible wins for corrales, hernandez etc :lol: floyd doesn't have one standout win on his resume which kind of makes him overrated H2H

    Floyd couldn't have ducked Bradley. He fought at 140 in 2005, and moved up to 147 in 2006-2007.

    Floyd Mayweather's technical capabilities would be to much for Bradley. Mayweather would win by decision.

    Bradley is better at WW than he was at 140.. Mayweather has a harder time with timmy at 147 imo, but still beats him at either weight.
