is floyd the greatest jr lightweight ever?

[Cherry Picker]

floyd is a great fighter, but every 130 lbser in history is a stretch considering that we couldn't even get floyd to fight freitas or casamayor at 130 lbs. that's not to say that floyd wouldn't win, but still floyd never cleaned out 130 lbs. floyd has never cleaned out any division ever.

Known as "the Hawk", Aaron Pryor was one of a kind. His energetic style and power in both hands, along with ****y attitude made him a charismatic and dominant champion for five years.

Dodged by former amateur rivals Tommy Hearns and Ray Leonard, Pryor didn't claim his superstar status until his epic win over legendary Alexis Arguello. Often remembered as a brawler, due to his macho attitude, Pryor had excellent boxing skills, which he displayed in the later rounds against Arguello.

Prior to winning Arguello war, this Cincinnati badass defeated legendary champion, Antonio Cervantes to capture the WBA version of the junior welterweight title.

Ricardo Mayorga
Fernando Vargas
Joshua Clottey

Mayweather could beat anyone at Junior Lightweight, but in terms of skills, destructiveness, resume and overall greatness I think he needs to come 2nd to Arguello. So he is the #2 Junior Lightweight of All-Time in terms of skills, resume and overall greatness, but in terms of winning ability he is at the very top.

Oddly enough, it is Freitas who holds a win over Casamayor.

I'm aware that the decision was a bad one, but... Casamayor sure lost an awful lot of the early rounds to someone who apparently doesn't even belong in the same discussion as him.

How did you score that? Just askin'

[check hook]

When Floyd was getting started, Genaro Hernandez was the #1 fighter at 130. Mayweather dominated Genaro Hernandez. The next highest ranked fighter was Angel Manfredy. Floyd dominated Angel Manfredy. A little while later Diego Corrales became #1 at 130. Floyd dominated Diego Corrales as well. So that is 3 times that Mayweather won dominating victories over the #1 ranked opponent at 130. He also beat titlists Jesus Chavez, Carlos Hernandez, and Gregorio Vargas.

Jukko was a pretty handy fighter too.

lol @ the guy who mentions aaron pryor. lmao. u should have just left the thread where u found it, 100 pgs away.

[Castor_Troy]

130 hasn't had that many long-reigning champs.

Floyd Mayweather: 8 title defenses
Genaro Hernandez: 8 title defenses (1st reign), 3 title defenses (2nd reign)
Azumah Nelson: 10 title defenses (1st reign, 2 of them being draws), 1 title defense (2nd reign)
Julio Cesar Chavez: 9 title defenses
Alexis Arguello: 8 title defenses
Sammy Serrano: 10 title defenses (1st reign), 3 title defenses (2nd reign)
