Who has the better resume at 130? Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquaio?

Indeed I agree Salvador Sanchez was Great and in my opinion the greatest Mexican fighter but he died too young to be considered the greatest 130 pounder. Still he beat 2 Great namez in Gomez/Azumah Nelson

My vote goes Flash Elorde. With 15rd championship fights, 1 recognized world champ and fighters fighting 4 or more times a year...to retain the belt 7yrs in that era was absolutely unheard of.

Pac and Floyd are both great but if they fought that many top contenders consecutively theres no way they keep their belt that long.

It was a little different back then because Elorde only defended it 10 times during those 7 years, fighting a lot of lightweight bouts and losing a couple of them while still keeping his superfeather championship. His accomplishment is still great, but I think Pac and Floyd could have had a lot of consecutive defenses themselves.

But at the time there was only 1 recognized world champ per division. Thats why he retained his belt. In this era it's quite simple to get a belt, call yourself world champ and defend against mismatched mandatory a sanctioning body deems "worthy"

I meant to say Salvador Sanchez. Sorry. I was thinking Pep cuz keyword was featherweight

Sanchez and Pep both fought at 126.

Mayweather beat the man at 130, so he was by all means the man at 130.

lol at people saying pac, it proves all you care for is names...........all the greats he fought at 130 were great....at 126-122 lbs.....

ayway your results are wrong, floyd stopped g.hernandez before the 12th.....and pac-marquez 1 was at 126....

floys beat an undefeated corrales(#5 p4p-unfairly, but w/e....), an undefeated at 130 g. hernandez(one loss to oscar) and prime versions of chavez-hernandez strong contenders at 130 fro many years....

pac lost his first fight at the weight vs a comig off a loss morales, beat a coming up 2 weight classes larios, beat a drained coming off an upset of the year loss morales, then rematched this shot morales, then rematched a fighter he had already beaten clearly in barrera, and then the controversial victory over marquez.....

mayweather is rightfully considered one of the best 130lb fighters in history..

^^^^^

This shouldn't even be close.

It was also an era in which it was often the case junior division were home very good fighters who could not be champ above or below that division (see Elorde venture at 135).

Pacquiao is greater at 130.. Beating Mexican ATG is a great achievement.

This isn't even close..

It is not even owrth getting in the details. You are mentioning as pac's great wins at 130 fighters who did not **** at 130. Dismissed

What are you talking about telling me dismissed. The fighters that you think didn't do **** at 130 beat both the guys at 130 that Floyd beat. Erik Morales beat both Jesus Chavez and Carlos Hernandez at 130 you moron both notable wins for Floyd. Now please dismissed before you get owned again. Go Pacman
