    Absolutely. When he took on Chico Corrales, very few expected it to be as one-sided as it was.

      He had his best form down there but I think he became more refined later and even further honed his technical ability. He does neglect his offense at times at the higher weights but in a way that makes him only harder to beat.

        Agree, Floyd was a beast back then. Took chances, fought everybody and still had an invisibility thing about him. very entertaining back then.

          On a whole Id say he's better at the higher weights, because you have to use your mind more in order to win against much bigger men, like Ali used his head more when he got older and had slowed down. Thats what made him great. And unless you really havent seen his fights at lower weights, Floyd fights the exact same way, nothing different. Man do you guys even watch fights.

            i think Floyd is just as good at the weigher weights, but people seem to confuse his limited offensive output as not as good. Floyd is even more defensively sharp at @147.

              Probably the greatest 130 lb fighter ever H2H. I don't think to many would beat him there. The man was a beast and cleaned that divison out so damn quick in under 3 years

                to a certain extend at 140 he was vicious.. but nobody wanted to fight him

                  Strongly disagree, at 130 Mayweather was so much quicker in that, no matter what punch combination he would throw, they simply couldn't touch him.
