    Manny, Erik, MAB perhaps. I'm sure Sweet Pete could hypothetically drop the pounds and school Floyd too

    Clear as day floyd nut hugger saying he had to much lateral movement and speed for erik ****ing morales?! Go watch a morales fight at 130 then talk. Also, long boxing rumor of Morales beating the tar out of floyd in sparring.

    Sparring has nothing to do with a actual fight you mouth breathing re****. Lateral movement and speed is Morales nightmare. Yeah I saw Morales fight at 130 he was 4-3 there which is average at best. Meanwhile pbf was undefeated there and is considered the GOAT. Like I said earlier you can't draw up a scenario that Morales beats pbf at 130 he's not in his class. If you go life and death with the likes of MAB for 3 fights you're not beating pbf period.

    Well, when Floyd was the WBC 130-pound champ, the other champs at 130 were the undefeated Corrales (IBF), the undefeated Casamayor (WBA) and the undefeated Freitas (WBO).

    Mayweather and Corrales squared off when both were 23 and unbeaten, and Mayweather won impressively. Then Casamayor and Freitas met, with Freitas winning a decision after Casamayor was deducted points for fouls.

    At the time, people were really excited to see these four guys go at it. But Mayweather left without meeting Casamayor or Freitas.

    I think Mayweather's win over Corrales was the best of his career. Would've liked to have seen him fight the other champs, though.

    Seriously, Floyd at 130 is one of the best fighters I've ever seen.

    The list is short. Maybe half a dozen throughout history.

    Serious question, has she ever made 130? Professionally or in her amateur judo career? (she was chunkier back then, remember)

    MANNY Pacquiao has long been considered to have faster feet, combos and a higher work rate than Mayweather. MORALES beat him once.

    YOUNG Morales does not have a problem with athletic fighters.

    EM has problems with speed and movement combined with a high ring IQ. Pac isn't a thinking man's fighter he's one dimensional fights at one range and can't adjust. PBF is much more difficult to prepare for. He can fight at all ranges has ATG defense a high ring IQ great stamina can counter and at 130 had good power.

    Pacquiao has ALWAYS struggled against technicians. At 130, he lost to Morales, and struggled against Marquez, despite knocking him down 3 times in the first round.

    I agree with this. Arguello could fight on the inside and the outside with Mayweather. And Arguello's technique was tight, he rarely exposed himself.

    Arguello-Mayweather at 130 would've been a chess match.

    I also think Joel Casamayor at 130 would've given Floyd a lot of problems when they were both actually there.

    Mayweather-Casamayor would've been like watching someone shadow box in a mirror. Their styles were so similar, just reversed (one was orthodox, one was southpaw).
