    Are people forgetting that Mayweather was a 'knock-out' artist at 130. Also, Mayweather is naturally bigger than Morale, Barrera, or Pac and his punch would be about to effect them tremedously. Floyd has greater speed, skill, power at that weight, so I find it difficult to believe that people would pick Morales over PBF.

      Mayweather was not even close to a KO artist at 130.

      Who did he KO in such a fashion that made you think that he was a KO artist?

      130 title fights
      Genaro Hernandez - Quit on his stool.
      Angel Manfredy - TKO stoppage on the ropes after 10+ consecutive punches landed.
      Carlos Rios - Decision.
      Justin Juuko - Stoppage on a right hand. Floyd's only true "KO" at the weight.
      Gregorio Vargas - Decision.
      Carlos Gerena - Doctor stoppage. Gerena did manage to say "No punch!" in the middle of the fight.
      Emanuel Burton - Corner stoppage. Burton didn't look hurt at all in the fight.
      Diego Corrales - Corner stoppage. Many knockdowns, but Corrales didn't look seriously hurt in any of them.
      Carlos Hernandez - Decision.
      Jesus Chavez - Corner stoppage. Chavez didn't look seriously hurt, although his head was being knocked around at will with uppercuts.

      Floyd had a few stoppages at 130, but he really wasn't a knockout puncher at all. He stopped his opponents on the accumulation of punches. Seriously, the proof is in the pudding... how many times did Floyd put an opponent down who looked seriously hurt?
