    maybe, but i have to agree that he perfomed masterfully in that fight. n'dou was tough and he put up a decent fight but he was too slow against floyd, and threw his jab with less power. floyd threw a lot of jabs and landed them on phillip. floyd's best performance imo as far as defensive fighting was against jukko. floyd was so flighty and so fast with his footwork during that fight. his overall best performance imo was against gatti because although gatti was heavily outmatched, floyd showed just how methodical he is in that fight, and this is when he changed his speed so many times, more than i've seen ever from him. he threw that beautiful combo in the 6th round and threw three nicely placed left hooks and the lest one he leaped into it, just brilliant punching from him. he tore gatti apart and his jab and counter left hook, yeah, counter left hook was just amazing. he went to gatti's body very well and gatti had no answer for him. imo, this was floyd's prime weight even though he had 3 fights there, because he showed so much power and speed while still having the best defense in the sport and and his mindset was kill, kill, kill. hatton an dcotto were both at the fight, and i knew they were like, holy ****, i'm not fighting this kid. floyd was just brilliant that night in gatti's home state and he actually was cheered heavily there also. floyd showed me that night that he was the best in the sport full throttle, not just a maybe, but he's the best in the sport skillwise. his flexibility was great, his head movement was great, his killer instinct was phenomenal. this was his greatest performance overall to date imo. corrales is second and hernandez is third.

          As I have said before, his best performance is Tony Pep, the subject is not open to debate.

            The thing about Gatti is he was knocked out earlier, when he was younger, by De La Hoya, and at 140 WAS SO EASY TO HIT.

                in all seriousness i have been impressed by Floyd the most when he fought Castillo in the 2nd fight that was a pure Master class IMO the way he dominated him and controlled the fight a superb display it was more impressive tome than the Corrales performance

                i was also impressed by the way he adapted in the Judah fight and kept his composure in the face of provocation ,Judah was in control for the first few rounds but Mawyeather showed his versatility and showed why he is the p4p king

                i was needless to say very impressed with the Gatti display although Arturo was a little shot by that point however he probably would have done that to Gatti anyway IMO he has always been easy to hit

                1.Castillo 2
                2. Judah
                3.Gatti
                Jeebus, Castillo has been dominated a lot more by other fighters than in Floyd-Cas II.

                My fave Floyd fight is Gatti, and it was Floyd's too, judging from the way he cried in the ring after the fight. But then it just goes to show you how substandard his resume is when comparing it to the greats and even to some current fighters.

                  That's because he ducks everyone, you know, like Tzyu, Castillo, Mayweather.
