    Man come on man get real sparring has nothing to do with an actual boxing match. Quit talking about it it's irrelevant. EM is a great fighter but he can't deal the size lateral movement and handspeed of PBF at 130. PBF had superior boxing ability and would have stuck and moved on EM all night long. He would have found EM with his right hands over and over again and been gone before EM knew what hit him. PBF is light years better Zahir Raheem. PBF by ud:deal

    Also MAB isn't even worth mentioning PBF would put a hurting on that boy.

    Raheem was at 135 when Morales was past his prime son. I'm talking when both were in their primes back in 2000. Erik was 122-126 & Floyd 130. Raheem would of gotten killed by a prime Morales Erik fought much better fighters than Raheem. Bringing up Raheem is like if I brought up Castillo, has nothing to do with each other. Sparring has to do alot. No it doesn't guarantee a win, but it doesn't rule one out either.

    LOL, Mayweather destroys these guys at 130. Both of them take a beating.

    PBF is arguably the GOAT at 130. EM and MAB are not ATGs at that weight. PBF is too big strong fast for them both. No rational boxing fan would agree with your ridiculous position. EM can't outbox PBF and he can't ko him. How does he win?:deal

    THIS IS A SUBLIMINAL MAY VS PAC THREAD.

    if floyd beats mab and morales easily, then he shud beat pac easily.
    however, we all know boxing doesnt work that way, except in this case.

    Pimp, I'm a big fan of Floyd but saying he's the GOAT at 130 is like saying Hearns is the GOAT at 154.
    They had a couple of their finest performances there but when you're talking about #1's at certain weights you have to look at guys who had fabulous and dominant reigns there,like Arguello and McCallum.
    H2H perhaps, but not GOAT.A subtle difference.

    Actually a big difference. H2H is all hypothetical / fantasy bs. Fighters should be ranked by their achievements and resume, nothing else.

    I'd be careful with that one.
    On that basis,what division would you have Pac highest in?

    126, since he didn't lose there, and trashed a prime Barrera for the belt, and was a judging error away from a win over a prime Marquez as well (I had him winning the fight by a point or two most times I watch it.)

    I think his achievements at 126 were the best, personally, but 122 and 130 were good runs as well. The flyweight belt early in his career and the late career run are just icing on the cake, but from an all-time divisional rankings standpoint, he's at his best between 122 and 130, 126 being the peak imo.

    Mayweather is an ATG at Lightweight. I truly believe that. I think he could beat guys like Barrera/Morales. Someone like Duran would always paste him though.

    Let's see Floyd make 122 first.

    The actual optimal weight for both.
