I'd have to go with Manny 126....he had the ferocity, speed, power and boundless stamina....He would have been a hard match up for anyone here...he didn't stay there long but looking at his career in its entirety...id have to say featherweight
Lightweight. 135 pounds. He only fought once at that weight but he looked incredibly good. He only weight 138 for Hatton and could just as easily have made 135 and his speed and power in the Hatton fight was amazing. He has never really been welterweight and he is small even for a 140 pounder. He went to 147 because that was where the money was and now he is used to fighting at 147 and eating all he wants and no drying out to make weight. I believe he could still make 135 and be the best in the world at that weight.
135 would have been his best weight, but there was no one to fight there. 140 might have been close too. Incidentally, Floyd's best weight would have been 140 too.
now that sir is a load of crap.....he fought the worst titleholder at the time and moved up to fight DLH for the big bucks
at the time lightweight was pretty deep....Casamayor, Juan Diaz, Nate Campbell, Juan Manuel Marquez became champ in the late 2000s
135 would have been his best weight, but there was no one to fight there. 140 might have been close too. Incidentally, Floyd's best weight would have been 140 too.
at the time there was guys he could have fought at 135 he just didn't took on the easy guys
135 would have been his best weight, but there was no one to fight there. 140 might have been close too. Incidentally, Floyd's best weight would have been 140 too.
140 was Mannys best weight.
I think people got carried away with how he starched Hatton....he didn't have the punch out put or one punch power at 135 and up that he had at the lower weights
I've always thought 140 was his best weight. Obviously he only fought there once, but he was/is pretty small at 147. His speed and power would've been great at 140 for a long time
