One of Floyd's most under appreciated performances against one of the best 130lbers ever in Genero Hernandez.
Remember that Floyd was just 21 years old and only had 17 professional fights. And look at the class of fighters he was fighting already, compared to the likes of who Cotto was fighting in his 18th pro fight. Or who Andre Berto is fighting now. Or who was Hatton fighting in his 18th pro fight?
I would definitely put Floyd in the Top 3 130lbers of all-time. He had very, very good power, he was probably the fastest 130lber ever, if not one of, was able to put combinations together very well, had great footwork and ring generalship, great defense and fought very smart, even though he was very young. He WAS the perfect fighter.
