Could MAB, Morales or Marquez beat Mayweather @ 130 Lbs?

[Dedication]

According to Morales, he gave Floyd the business in sparring in '00, when Floyd was still at 130:

"In 2000, I was training for a fight in Texas and sparred three or four rounds with Mayweather. Mayweather’s father Floyd Sr. was my trainer and got me to spar with his son. I had him groggy and reeling but he never went down".

But that's as close to an actual fight as we'll ever get (crosses fingers), and it's still only sparring.

Just because you put a fake quote in italic doesn't make it real. Link please

I think they all have a good shot, considering Floyd's style and the variety of skills they all possessed at that weight.

Morales and Barrera were both visibly past their prime at 130.

Naah i am a mexican and a big fan of those three great fighters.

But no way they beat Floyd.

Since when was Bleacher Report considered a credible site. Still sounds like BS to me, that's unless you can prove otherwise.

No.. he has physical advantages over all of them... and he's a better boxer.

Justin Tate is credible and he doesn't have much bias in his articles (albeit the quote is unsourced)...it really just looks like an old guy reflecting on his glory days...kind of like guys trump up their military service, golf handicaps, high school/collegiate athletic achievements as they age.

Of course, Justin Tate does have to put a slight "pro-pac" spin on everything because the majority of the Pacquiao fanbase is far less able to stomach criticism than other fans due to their relative newness to the sport and unfamiliarity with American journalism. That and Bleacher Report is like a ******* haven. It is like 2 "*****s" vs 100s of "*******s" over there...with maybe like 5 knowledgeable neutrals.

Posted the full length original article, but I'm sure it's all part of the inexplicable elaborate hoax. Like I said before, it's just sparring. Spadafora, Lamont Peterson, and looks like now Erik Morales all beat Floyd up in sparring... but that was only 3-4 rounds or so. If Mayweather-Judah, May-Shane, and a bunch of other Floyd fights had been only 3-4 rounds, he'd have a ton of Ls on his record. He's a notoriously slow starter and has had some rough starts but usually cruises to wins once he gets his bearings straight.

No need to catch feelings over sparring.
