    Who do you think could have beaten him at 130? Realistically, no one could beat that prime Floyd.
    Just counted right now. 20 of his 25 career KO's were at 130 in 27 pro fights there. Those numbers are very impressive considering he fought top 5-10 SFW's and a top 5 P4P Corrales in that span.

        I would put Floyd in my top 5 but not the all time best featherweight.

          Mayweather would win by BRUTAL UD against Arguello.....funny thing is that Arguello would never struggle or as some say lose against JLC.

            Floyd was never a Featherweight. He started his career at Super Featherweight.

              Hatton beat the crap out of Castillo who Mayweather struggled with, that means Hatton won't get KTFO by Mayweather. Oh wait.

                JLC was shot in the Hatton fight. In the Floyd one he wasn't.

                  I have Arguelllo as the GOAT at 130. And, he has that rank by a solid amount. I got Floyd at #2. However, Elorde has a great case to be rank at #2 as well. To say he doesn't is ridiculous. I have Elorde at #3 even ahead of Nelson but not that much. Hell I also think the very underrated Brian Mitchell could be in the top 5.

                  130 is a pretty deep division with a solid history. To act like if Floyd can not be lower than #2 is just insane and not really knowing that history. However, it all falls under preference and opinion.

                    Floyd's super featherweight resume is one of the best in history, and his best weight class in his career. Fights with Chico and Hernandez are some of his greatest wins. Even though Floyd cleared the division and fought the best, Gabriel Elorde and Alexis Arguello still tops Floyd resumes.
