Was Duran's victory over Iran Barkley more impressive than any single Floyd win?

Whats more impressive is Barkley wasn't some wash up has been as Floyd usually fights since he moved up to welter weight Jr Middle. It would be like Floyd beating Glovokin which we all know Floyd would be knock out. No Floydies Marquez and Hatton don't count they were smaller dudes. Everyone else has been a wash up has been.

Yup!
Floyd's best win is arguably against Corrales.
Being a shot 39 year old former Lightweight and beating a huge prime Middleweight, who had KTFO Thomas Hearns not too long before >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Beating Diego fuckin' Corrales, prime or not.
FACT.

It's a very impressive feat and in the context of come backs and upsets, this certainly does rank over anything Floyd has done. But Barkley was no great. Floyd's got better wins than Duran's over Barkley, it's just the fact Duran was so far out of his prime and natural weight division that it's such a magnificent win.
It's crazy to think what Benn did to him only a year later.

I can't think of an adequate MW in today's division that is comparable to Prime Barkley. I feel Martinez is better, but the likes of Jr,Quillien, Pirog,Golevkin, are all worst.
What single win is better than a 37 year old former light weight defeating a prime top Middleweight who holds all the physical advantages?
