Genaro Hernandez and Jose Luis Castillo were never champions. Jose Luis Castillo won (barely) his alphabet belt from Stevie Johnson. Genero Hernandez won the vacant WBA belt, vacated it and then won the WBC belt from an old Azumah Nelson. Neither Hernandez nor Castillo unified the titles or defeated the previous linear champions (Brian Mitchell and Pernell Whitaker). Stevie Johnson was never a champion at lightweight and Azumah Nelson was, like Johnson, merely an alphabet titlist. Stevie Johnosn won his alphabet belt from Jean Baptiste Mendy and Mendy won that vacant WBC belt in a bout with Lamar Murphy.Comment

Yeah, Floyd is just a master defensively.
Also I think it's time to start comparing him to Whitaker in terms of being the best defensive fighter of all time.........we'll see. If he totally shuts Hatton out without taking any noticeable punishment I think people should keep that in mind.

My mistake. Tszyu's pro career was always at 140. I thought I remembered him holding a LW belt at some point, but he was LW at his first Olympics.I dont recall Kostya ever being a champ at 135lbs, who did he beat to get the title? or maybe it was one of these cheap ass belts like...NABA or whatever the hell it is. WBC international, those kind.
its not really fair to throw Floyd against Leonard's opponents, seeing as he cant make himself higher than 150lbs even if he tries while Leonard was a pretty big Welterweight. so I dunno what yall are getting at.
and regardless of criticism about his opponents, what Floyd has been doing is extremely rare. hes been undisputed champ at 130, 135, is fighting the 140 guy soon, 147, and fought arguably the best at 154, although nobody really knows who the hell the champ is at that weight anyway...and this is a guy that cant make himself weigh more than 149lbs in a sport where pretty much everyone cuts a ton of weight.
I dont put him at the same level of Leonard, but what Floyd has been doing hasnt been done much throughout boxing history. and the only people that have...are ATGs. but we'll just have to wait and see when his career is over.Comment
