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

GROUP IT!
Listen... Genaro Hernandez was old, which is obvious because he never fought again.
Jesus Chavez was a good fighter, but never really great.
Vargas and C. Hernandez were okay fighters who got titles.
Corrales is the only fighter to hang his hat on at that weight, and I think he was wildly overrated to begin with. I mean, ****, who did he beat to skyrocket to 5th in the sport? Roberto Garcia? What was so special about Garcia? Other than Garcia, his biggest accomplishment at the weight was splitting bouts with Casamayor.
Marquez beat a faded Barrera (although Barrera is not nearly as faded as people make him out to be, and showed in his last bout against Pacquiao how good he is. You can tell how good of a fighter Marquez (the faded feather as you call him) is because he dominated Casamayor at 135 and took his belt in his first fight at the weight.
In addition to Marquez, I'll take the faded version of Morales in the second bout being better than the Genaro Hernandez that was outgunned as ****, and I'll take the faded Barrera over Chavez, Vargas and C. Hernandez.
I'm comfortable as **** saying Pacquiao's 130 resume > Mayweather's 130 resume.
Does it occur to you that maybe Hernandez looked worse than Morales, because Morales was gone (slapped around by raheem for 12 rounds, not just lost, slapped around), and because Mayweather was just a lot better than Pacquiao at 130?
Maybe dominating good 130 fighters is a better achievement at 130 than splitting fights or winning razor-thin fights with old great 126 fighters, as good as they are?
And finally Casamayor being dominated by marquez... omg Casa is 37, he needed that all that drama to beat Katsidis, and just got by Santa Cruz by ways robbery. You do remember what Casa looked like when he was fighting Corrales and Castillo around 04, right?Comment

Genaro Hernandez was younger than Barrera and Marquez when the relevants fight happened. And he also had an entire career at the weight, at which he was unbeaten.
