Originally posted by NChristo View PostAzumah Nelson had a decade long reign with 13 or 14 title defenses and better competition then Floyd.
Flash Elorde made 11 defences with 7 of them as undisputed champ his resume buries Floyd with names like Johnny Bizzaro, Sandy Saddler, Harold Gomes, Ismael Laguna, Teruo Kosaka etc et.
Kobayashi has probably the best resume of the 130 greats with Yoshikai Numata, Jaime Valladares, Ricardo Arredondo, Rene Barrientos, Antonio Amaya, Carlos Canete, Shozo Saijo, Mitsunori Seki, Katsutoshi Aoki and more, he was the "man" in probably the strongest 130 era ever.
You're telling me that Elorde and Kobayashi shouldn't be considered ?.
I agree with you on this
I got Arguello as the #1 guy but after being reminded of Azumah and Flash's careers at 130...I have to move Floyd from #2 down to #4 or #5.
I admit I'm not as hip to what Kobayashi did, so I will definatly have to do some research. Good **** bro....you stay school people on legends of the game.

Pac fighting some of the fights Floyd ducked but at catch weights.
Pac fighting more boxers out of their prime while Floyd fought some good boxers in their prime.
Pac only really fighting one style while Floyd has fought a mix of styles.
That's just how I see it.
by the way, the last two names were avoided by mayweather like hell.

Originally posted by FootWork777 View PostOn the contrary, I think Pac is a phenomenal fighter! I have no reason to hate on Pac, I actually think he's the biggest threat to Floyd right now. I'm simply calling him on his bs, this makes me a hater? Unlike 90% of yall I'm a true boxing fan!
