    I like Morales as a fighter but I don't think he'll win against Floyd.
    He's a fun to watch because he makes fights a FIGHT.
    But slick fighters are one of Morales' weaknesses. Raheem showed that.
    As good as Floyd was @ 130, I don't think he knocks him out though.

    Hell no. Youre a biased Morales fan in which I can tell not just by looking at your avatar picture. First off raheem is no where near in mayweather's level but he still outbox morales cause of slickness and faster hands. Second off corrales at 130 pounds was a better fighter then morales. Who did morales beat at 130 pounds
    That was close to mayweathers skill level?

    Morales beat Pacquiao at 130, and Pacquiao fans themselves will say Pacquiao wasn't used to 130 the first time around. They also gave other shitty excuses, but weight was the issue with me. Morales has done nothing at 130 to make any true boxing can believe he beats Floyd at 130. Nothing!

    Mayweather on points, he is naturally bigger & this was his best weight, Morales best weight was Super Bantamweight, 2 divisions south.

    I don`t see him dominating Morales like he did to Chico Corrales, no way, Morales was superior to Corrales in every department except size & power... it would be difficult for Floyd because of Morales technique, ability to switch from boxing to brawlng constantly & his iron chin but ultimately I see Mayweather landing the harder more eye catching punches throughout & taking this on points.

    Comparing Morales at 122 to Floyd at 130 (not h2h, just in greatness) is a fairer thing to do IMO as both were top 2 or 3 all time fighters in those divisions & forces of nature for their majority of time there.

    Eriks best wins at 130:
    Carlos Hernandez
    Jesus Chavez
    Guty Espadas Jr.
    Manny Pacquiao- (best win at 130)

    Floyds best wins at 130:
    Carlos Hernandez
    Genaro Hernandez
    Diego Corrales- (best win at 130)
    Jesus Chavez
    Angel Manfredy

    So, what has Floyd done at 130 to make you believe he could beat Morales??

    Floyd would UD him. Morales wasn't exactly prime at 130. He might manage to stop the later weight-drained version of Mo.

    Nobody is unbeatable, I think Chavez beats Floyd at 130 BUT lets not ruin the thread by making it about Floyd v JCC, if you disagree just let it be ;)

    Wow ppl are really underrated skill level. Corrales was never a slicker or a great boxer but he had a good underrated boxing skills. Both corrales and moralea are brawlers but corrales was bigger, stronger then morales in which corrales had the better pop. Like I said before, morales never beaten a fighter close to mayweather's skill level.

    Nothing. That's why I favor Morales over Floyd.
