    Floyd was a beast at 130.

    But for example JC Chavez and Alexis Arguello are head and shoulders above Genaro Hernandez and Diego Corrales, Floyd's best opponents at 130.

    They would have had a chance vs Floyd to say at least.

    Camacho and Saddler have a shot.

    no one would but, there could be some that could on their best night and floyds worse. like Floyd against chino 1 when his chic had abortions and left him for some other rapper, his mind was ****ed up going in, he wanted to postpone but he will fight under any condition which could give certain atg's a slight chance.

    but 130 he was truly a beast, hell the dude beat every top fighter in every division from 130 to 154 and hasn't had ko power since 135, possibly 140 but he didn't stay long enough even tho 140 was his absolute peak. dude chased the money badly

    I actually think Arguello would have no chance. He just seemed too slow and upright.

    Lomachenko vs. PBF at 130 would've been a hell of a fight

    If you cornered me, the first name that comes to mind is Oscar De La Hoya. But I don't truly believe that he'd pull it off.

    No one. PBF at 130 is arguably the most complete fighter ever no real weakness at that weight.:deal Lateral movement high ring IQ speed reflexes defense counter punching power stamina chin jab and combo punching.

    Maybe you're right.
    I was just going to say there are (relatively) many boxers who were much better than every Floyd's opponent at 130

    :lol::rofl:lol:

    You can't draw up a scenario as to how Erik Morales beats PBF at 130. PBF had too much lateral movement speed and reflexes for EM to deal with. He would be outboxed and beaten clearly.

    PBF was a stylistic nightmare for Arguello who struggled with speed and movement. Arguello is a great fighter but PBF is a bad match up for him.

    Chavez and Arguello definitely have a chance but I'd favour Floyd over both.
