    no doubt, he is the greatest at 130 lbs ever, if anyone denies this they can go **** themselves because their hate is clearly clouding their judgement.

      You could make that argument, Alexis Arguello could also have that spot. What a ****ing beast he was at that weight.

        I'm going with yes. If someone were to put Arguello and Nelson ahead, it wouldn't bother me, but he's definietly in the top 5 and I think he could beat Nelson and Arguello

          No way Nelson is better than Floyd. You could make a legitimate case for Arguello and I think it is pretty much neck and neck between those two.

            Floyd is far from being the greatest fighter at 130. He fought mostly past prime opponents, and avoided the best. He could have moved down to fight Morales a few years ago (Floyd was able to make 130 no problem) but he was afraid to.

            There are many fighters who were greater than Floyd at 130, such as Nelson and Arguello. Two more recent examples are Pacquiao and Morales.

                Very difficult to say and compare going back over so many decades of boxing even, so who can really tell. People can too easily go with judging the past decade, and not the several infront of it, and it clouds they're judgement. I don't like ppl saying definitely yes definitely no, because no way is it so clear. There's so many variables a lot of it is down to personal opinion. Even then many will just go for the more recent and what they know.

                If I had to be pressed, I'd prob lean towards no, he's not.

                  Not at 130 he wouldn't.

                  But Floyd would be too much of a coward to fight Pacman at 130, he'd make him come up to an unnatural fighting weight for Manny.

                    The most accurate puncher vs a very weak defense??? Do the math. + Floyd had alot of power at 130 be serious
