Who could beat Floyd at 130?

[El Kabong]

Freitas was a quitter, but he had a hell of a punch and his power didn't wane in fights either, he just bombed out Jorge Barrios in the final round of their fight and he was well down on the cards too.


I think Arguello stands a good chance. The people who think he doesn't are probably figuring it would be like Mayweather vs Corrales II, and that's fine, but AA was 5'10, he had a very good chin, and of course game changing power.

Salvador Sanchez would be another, because of his chin, his workrate, his heart, his power.

Willie Pep is just too darn small and had 0 to keep Floyd off of him.....it would be the worst fight ever with nobody throwing many punches, but if that's the case then who's to say Pep can't steal a round or two.

I agree on Sanchez, I think Nelson may have had some success as well. Arguello would have been more competitive than Corrales. Although the victory over Corrales looks good on paper, the guy had nothing left going into the fight. He had been struggling to make 130 for awhile. In the build up to the fight it was all about Corrales' struggle to make 130.

Of course he never. You forgot to mention that Diego also had an impending jail sentence on his mind too.

Floyd Mayweather has never fought a fair, hard fight in his life.

Yes, now you are seeing the light.

I didn't forget to mention the jail sentence, I figured everyone on this forum would already know, I just think Corrales made a dumb mistake by saying he'd fight Floyd at 135 or 130. Stupid mistake like Dawson did with Ward. Corrales was already gone from 130, given up his belt after the Manfredy fight.

It wasn't Corrales' mistake, it was Floyd's demand because like I said he's never had a real fight in his career.

Little known fact about Floyd is that since 1999, he's worked a clause into his contract that every opponent MUST take a mild sedative before the fight. Diego was the first opponent he worked that into because he was scared of Diego's power.

If it was the real Diego who wasn't drugged, didn't beat his wife and get sentenced to jail, and wasn't forced to fight at 130... Floyd wouldn't have made it out of round 3.

So it was Floyd's demand for Chico to relinquish his belt too?

Whatever, cutting weight is a bitch. Try it sometime.

Wrestled in high school, I've cut weight.

When have you cut weight?
