I'd say 135 or maybe lower. mayweather generates power through the speed of his punches so the lower the better and he has a really long reach which is more effective in the lower divisions.Comment

He was legendary at 130: he had amazing quickness, explosive pop on his punches, and a freakish reach that allowed him to control the ring with his jab and lead right any time he wanted to. Of course, he wouldn't be able to make that weight anymore, so I'd say his optimum weight right now is 140. He could make that weight comfortably, not have to go against these huge welterweight drainers, and carry some of his power at that weight.Comment

Definitely 130-135. He was a certified monster in those lower divisions and I consider him top 5 P4P ever at 130 and top 10 P4P ever at 135
At 140 and up, he was still very special, but was at the point where lesser talented fighters, but who were much bigger, could present problems for him, especially at 147 and up. Everyone has a ceiling I guess.Comment
