    Default Floyd at 130.

    Let's talk about how much of a beast Floyd was at 130. He was a perfect blend of speed, power, and offense. He beat Hernandez and Manfredy back to back, and beat them in the span of 2 months. And let's not forget his win over Corrales. All three of these wins were in dominant fashion.

    Floyd would be a heavy favorite over everyone in the current 130 lb division.

    Where do you rank Floyd all time at 130?

    Floyd was brutal at 130 and a delight to watch because he let his hands go a lot more and had much bigger power at that weight.

    I still think that his performance against Corrales at 130 is probably the greatest display of virtuoso boxing I've ever seen.

    Yes Floyd was great, no question beat some decent opposition would love to have seen him against Casamajor and Frietas to truly rate him.

    I reckon he would have made Frietas quit on his stole. The Brazilian had no heart.

    Casamayor would have been a nice fight to see.

    No doubt about that...loads of offense at 130. Closest thing to RJJ I have seen.

    Frietas was a monster at the weight at that time and showed plenty of heart.

    Exactly, Casamayor would've been a terrific matchup.

    Freitas was undefeated with a long string of KOs.

    At 135, there was Stevie Johnston, a southpaw with perpetual motion and energy, there's another one.

    His absolute best weight...with 135 coming in second. He was absolutely beautiful to watch...his movement was unreal.

    Meh he quit twice so he had quit in him.

    Brutal puncher but I don't think he'd have much to offer a 130lb Floyd. Too fast. Would have gotten destroyed.

    Yeah he was an absolute adonis at that weight. I saw the fight night weights of Maidana and Floyd and it reminded me how low Floyds natural fighting weight actually is, Maidana was weight up at 165 on the night.

    I do not believe Floyd, he was in training at it was 157lb at one point so find this hard to believe.

    De La Hoya quit.
    Roger Mayweather quit.
    Julio Cesar Chavez quit.
    Mike Tyson quit.
    Vitali Klitschko quit.
    Kostya Tszyu quit.
    Erik Morales quit.
    Alexis Arguello quit.
    Sonny Liston quit.
    Devon Alexander quit.
    Shane Mosley was begging for someone to stop the Pacquiao fight. "I can't move."

    Genaro Hernandez quit against De La Hoya a couple years before Floyd fought Hernandez.
    Victor Ortiz quit a couple years before Floyd fought him.
    Miquel Cotto conceded on his stool a few years before Floyd fought him.

    It sure didn't look like 17 pounds difference to me when they were fighting.

    Yeah but how many of those guys were well past their prime when they quit? Pretty much everyone you listed except Vitali.

    And Sonny Liston is known as a quitter.
