    ...throughout history.

    2. Floyd Mayweather - 130lbs. and 140lbs.
    2. Manny Pacquiao - 135lbs and 140lbs.
    3. Andre Ward - 168lbs and 175lbs.

    Simple question really. Who do you think poses the greatest threat stylistically at the chosen weight classes (only) throughout history for the listed boxers?

    A sentence of why you think so if you can be bothered. :good

    2. Floyd Mayweather - 130lbs. and 140lbs.

    Robinson - Its Robinson

    2. Manny Pacquiao - 135lbs and 140lbs.

    Robinson - See Above

    3. Andre Ward - 168lbs and 175lbs.

    Jones - Speed, power, once in a lifetime fighter too much for Ward to adapt to, possibly he does better in a rematch

    4. Sergio Martinez - 154lbs and 160lbs.

    Robinson/Hopkins Its Robinson, Hopkins just too smart and would neutralise sergio early doors imo

    5. Nonito Donaire - 118lbs and 122lbs.

    Armstrong - Too tough, I don't rate donaire anyways

    6. Juan Manuel Marquez - 122lbs and 126lbs.

    Armstrong - This is a helluva fight, TBH there are few i'd pick over a 100% Marquez

    7. Wladimir Klitschko - Heavyweight.

    Lewis - Would be like Wlad fighting a better, tougher, stronger version of himself, with disastrous results

    8. Timothy Bradley - 140lbs.

    Robinson - It's Robinson, you could pick a dozen guys here though

    9. Vitali Klitschko - Heavyweight.

    Ali - Movement, speed, angles nullifies Vitali all night long

    10. Anselmo Moreno - 118lbs.

    **** knows

    A green Robinson is the stylistic nightmare for Bradley, Mayweather and Pacquiao?

    I chose those particular weight classes for a reason. :conf

    I tend to agree with the rest.

    Read the opening post. I chose the weight classes for a reason. You're saying that a green Robinson (no matter what he achieved at the above weights) had enough in him at that point to impose his style on arguably the best ever versions of Mayweather and Pacquiao? (ignoring Bradley for now).

    (Robinson also never once fought at 130lbs which was part of my question).

    Thats a weird pick considering Saddler only fought at 122 and at 118 a handful of times in the beginning of his career those are surely not his best weight, most of his career was spent at featherweight where he was at his absolute best and later on as super featherweight.

    If they met at 122 and seeing Donaire against tall rangy Mathebula I've little doubt Saddler takes him deep and drowns the little guy.
