Prime Joel Casamayor vs. Floyd Mayweather at 130

[Hulk]

My Dad has said many times he thinks Casamayor could have given Floyd a good fight 130 and a run for his money.

Casamayor was a very good defensive boxer with a fighter's mentality and he was willing to do anything to win.

I think he could have been competitive with Mayweather, but ultimately lost a decision.

What say you ?

Prime Casamayor was a great fighter and a southpaw to boot, but I have a hard time picking against Mayweather. To be honest, I have no idea who would win.

Mayweather easy! I was a big fan of Casamayor & thought he deserved the decisions against Freitas, Corrales & Castillo, but at 130 Floyd was outstanding!

Prime of late 90's/early 2000 Casa is also badass at 130-35 intriguing match up.

IMO Mayweather would have stopped him late, Floyd was just as smart but more aggressive and had a lot more power at 130 (or was willing to commit a lot more to his punches), he would have probably broken Casamayor systematically, jabbing upstairs then shooting that straight right to the pit of his stomach, move out then potshot with another right or two up top, Casamayor had the tools to trouble him with his defense and counterpunching but I just don't think he would have been able to deal with the movement and all around diversity of Mayweather

Floyd had alot more power at 130? Committed more to his punches? Maybe you should stick to Badminton Forums.

Casamayor at 130 was an outstanding fighter. I see his rough and dirty style surprising Mayweather and taking him off his game in the beginning. Mayweather would adapt and get in his groove. But Casamayor banks enough rounds to take a very close points win. Mayweather has been fouled before. But he's never met a dirty fighter as skilled as Casamayor.

I do see Maywether taking a rematch in another highly compettive fight
