Prime for prime would you say the fighters listed above are better than the version of fighters Floyd fought: Manny, Judah, Madianna, Cotto, Oscar, Mosley, Castillo, Canelo, and Corrales. A friend made this claim so I wanted to get your guys's perspective.
I don't know in what world people are seriously holding up these fighters against Floyd.. no disrespect to them but what major achievements have any of them done to consider them so great? I'm fan of pretty much all of them names but
Crawford has yet to truly have a signature fight and hasn't looked amazing vs mediocre opposition
Stevenson is starting to rise to the top way too early to say where he sits
Tank hasn't fought a single legit fight where you felt he was challenged maybe Pedraza? Just
Ennis way too early guy could be the next generational talent but not proved it yet beat no one and could end up having a glass new, bad stamina totally unknown
I'll.give you Spence in the fact hes had a solid run and pretty much beaten most fighters to a pulp
None of these fighters have done anything more outstanding than fighters in Floyd's era Hell even Ricky Hatton had a better win than Crawford at 140 vs Tyzu. Cotto went on to hold the MW title, Canelo just went on a run through weights collecting belts , Oscar is a legend and of course Mayweather fought a certified ATG in manny who mops the floor history wise against any of those names
Just look at the fact the ghost of Pacquiao came back and best the dog**** out of Thurman to tell you the challenge in this era is no better than their prime or in this case Floyds
You know what, you really jut put something on my mind.

You don’t know what you’re talking about old man. Every lie you losers tell about Floyd is actually the truth about Manny :lol1:
Looks like Floyd fought him when he was coming off two ko wins and 4 months after he beat Margarito. Once again Pacquiao faced Floyd left overs after they were coming off losses. You got owned again. I forgot Mosley was P4P also.

Shane didn't fight Floyd 4 months after Margarito. Shane was out of the ring almost 2 years at 38 years old
100%
Every fighter Floyd ever fought he waited until the were past prime.
Even the likes of a 37 year old mosley Floyd didn't want none after the marg fight, he had to wait till mosley was 40.

Oscar De La Hoya, Cotto would be tough fights for Crawford and Spence Junior.
I would give De La Hoya a serious chance of beating them both.
Dr La Hota struggled against Ike quartley who was ugas level at best. Cotto lost every big fight and lost to a margaritto who was well below today's welterweights

Its a legit claim Floyd thought nobody would get hip to his cherrypicking strategies. Its some good fighters on there but the better guys Floyd avoided until they were slower versions of themselves.

When was Floyds prime and at what weight ?
We could have seen Floyd v bud and spence. But he was engaged fighting berto and maidana and and tenshin.
They'd be toughest challenges and fights for Floyd if he'd have them, that's why to people who were desperate for floyd to lose it was like a dagger in the heart every time Floyd chose to fight berto, maidana and guerrero, instead of thurman, spence, brook, bradley
What the hell kind of crack are you smoking where you have Tank Davis and Boots Ennis above the likes of Pacquiao, De La Hoya, Judah, Mosley, Cotto, Gatti, Hernandez, Corrales, Castillo, Marquez, etc?
Floyd: 24-0-0-0 vs world titlists
Crawford, Spence, Davis, Ennis, and Stevenson combined: 24-0-0-0 vs world titlists
from a skill point of view, not accomplishments.
