    forget about 122 Mayweather couldnt make that weight but in any weight above that Mayweather wouldve win.the only time Morales fought a slick boxer he got owned(tough he was past his best)and i think Mayweathers speed,defense and footwork would win him a decision in a tough fight.

    Floyd simply could not make the weight.

    I know Floyd could never make the 122 limit so I basically compared Floyd at 130 to Morales at 122 as both are ATGs at those weights, top 3 probably, both guys but I couldnt decide who was more impressive..... but as I said, I like Morales much better & their was no `draw` option so my man `el terrible` gets my vote.

    IMO both MAB & Morales bring so much more to the table than Castillo does and FMJ had biggest problem with Castillo. Prime Castillo at 135 was probably Floyds toughest opponent too, with past prime Oscar and 147 Hatton coming in second. Corrales just met his stylistic nightmare in Floyd, a pure boxer with a chin that can box circles around him.

    Its 50/50 for me. Alot will go with Floyd's flash but Morales had alot of subtance and put combinations together beautifully.

    Easy . . . 122 is Morales' best fighting weight . . . it's not PBF's . . . so I'll pick Morales.

    At 122 Morales would run thru Money like Mike tyson. 126 is a different story but I still think Morales wins but by UD.

    PBF could never make 122 so I say EM and would probably be drained as hell at 126 so I say 50/50 depending on how he handled the weight.

    If we say PBF wouldn't be affected by weight which we all know he would then I would say PBF at either 122 or 126. He's simply the superior boxer.

    Mayrunner would have made every excuse in the book to not fight Morales. Nothing else to discuss. Next question, please.

    If Barrera were able to outbox Morales in their first fight just imagine what Floyd will do to Morales.. Moneymay is way above Barrera in terms of power and boxing skills. Those who pick against Floyd on this one are either in love with Erik or just plainly hates Money May.

    As much as I hate Floyds attitude today with him being all about "money" as his nickname suggests, back then I think Floyd would have fought him if he was able to.

    Barrera did best when toe to toe with Morales, when Barrera tried to outbox him, thats when Morales got the better of it.

    Marco was a brawler that learned how to box very well.
    Erik was a boxer that loved to brawl & did it very well too.

    Mayweather if Im honest, will rank higher than both all time. :-(

    Floyd couldn't make 122 by the time he got to his pro debut...in the ametuers he was a gold glove champ 3 years at 106 112 and 125 i believe...In the olympics he was the best on the 96 team at 125...Id say Floyd wins by UD if he wasn't weight drained...but if you could just put him there and hes not weight drained than he wins by UD...at 126 he beats him too and at 130 he kos him in 8
