    arguello, azumah nelson, flash elorde, & hiroshi kobayashi just to name a few have had greater 130lb resumes than floyd.
    Could you break down there 130 resumes cause I think you dont know what your talking about and just going by what Nchristo said.

        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.
          Barrera, morales, marquez, hatton, cotto, and now margarito...OUT OF THEIR PRIME??? you must be a hater.

          by the way, the last two names were avoided by mayweather like hell.

            how many defenses do u think floyd would have had if he didnt move up??? he was more dominant than both elorde and kobayashi...how old was he when he fought genaro hernandez??? when floyd was at 130, there was no1 who could beat him, because he was just that much better than any of them. your nostalgia is getting the better of u a lot of those fighters u named were good but not great many of them not hofers. i mean harold gomes??? come on son!!

              You have no reason to hate on pac? Yet you stay typin up essays on different ways to discredit the guy..

                  Undefeated through 5 weight classes.

                  Barely lost rounds let alone any fights.

                  Top 10 P4Pounder 12 out of the 14 years hes been a pro.

                  2 time Lineal WW Champ in his 4th weight class.

                  11 time World Champion.

                  Greatest 130 Pounder of all time.

                  2 time Fighter of the Year.

                  Yeah I think that Floyd guy has a great career. NSB acts likes hes never done anything.
                  Tell me about it bro!
