Pea dominates in any era he fights in at lightweight. Many pick Duran over him, and I think a valid argument can be made for Duran, but Pea NEVER lost at lightweight (forget the rip off vs Ramirez) and Duran did (only once and he avenged it). I think due to styles that in a head to head match up, pea outboxes and out quicks Duran.

As for Floyd vs Pea, each would be VERY hard for the other as both guys preferred big punchers and offensive fighters. Head to head it is VERY close and I can see a case for either guy to win, although I tend to lean towards Pea due to his southpaw style.

When talking about historical ranking, I feel that pea should rank higher than Floyd based off his (in my opinion) better quality of opponents and wins. Floyd has beaten some good opposition like Chico, Hatton, Castillo...etc., but I feel that prime Azumah, McGirt, Chavez...etc. was more impressive.

The funny thing about these threads is that people on here try and act like either guy is a definite win over the other, without question. These guys r both ATGs and it would be a phenomenal match up for people who appreciate the technical aspect of the sport.
