IS floyd the greatest Lightweight?.....ever?

[713832281]

agreed. i would say he has a case to be called the greatest jr lightweight ever, but not the best lw.

Perhaps you meant Jr. Lightweight, where you could certainly make an argument.

Floyd had an impressive run at 130, cleared out the division with 9 title successful title defenses, KO'ing 6 of them, including names like an undefeated prime Diego Corrales, Genero Hernandez, who himself is considered one of the greatest Super Feathers of all time, and was also undefeated at 130 when Floyd fought him. Crushes #1 Contender Angel Manfredy in 2 rounds, and a lot more like Carlos Hernandez, Jesus Chavez and Emmanuel Augustus.

To top it off... he's 19-24 years old.

I don't think anyone beats Floyd at 130, period. I only question if his stint at 130 was long enough to be considered the "greatest".

Head to Head? He's up there

I think a better case could be made for Super Featherweight... He owned that **** top to bottom, no question
