      A "welterweight" Trinidad punched harder than Hopkins

      How can a big middleweight weigh 4 pounds under the limit?

        by dieting to fight in a smaller division?

                Some observations:

                Greatest opponents - Pernell (Chavez, Tito, Oscar, McGirt, etc.)

                Toughest career - Manny (No early promotion, no money, fighting foreign countries, fighting in opponent's hometown)

                Most physically gifted - Roy followed by Manny

                Best technical skills - Pernell followed by Floyd

                Only undefeated record - Floyd
                Pernell was the most skilled dude? This dude used to get hit and beat up by all caliber of opponents. What was his plus minus? Floyd's was 30 at its peek, and was top 3 in boxing history.


                People lie about how good Pernell is only because he's a past ATG, if he and Floyd switch eras, no one would tell that lie about him being better than Floyd!

                  I will say I was no fan then. I was a big Barrera fan and thought he was a hype job that caught Barrera on an off-night. Then, fight by fight, he just kept winning and I thought 'Well, damn. I guess he's for real.'

                  He's one fighter I did not like at first who turned my opinion. Definitely the best of this era.

                    You left an important feat/accomplishment, not sure if you did it purposely. The Ring/Lineal titles they won.

                    Mayweather:

                    130: Lineal
                    135: Ring/Lineal
                    147: 2x Ring 1x Lineal
                    154: Ring

                    Pacquiao:

                    112: Lineal
                    126: Ring
                    130: Ring
                    140: Ring/Lineal

                    Whitaker:

                    135: Ring
                    147: Lineal

                    Jones Jr:
                    175: Ring
