    Regardless, by fight night they'd have been the same weight. Floyd was the smallest WW at 147, so it doesn't change anything. Pretty much, a win over Hatton would never count as an A regardless of what weight you beat him in

      The same can be said for Cotto and Tony.

      They were NEVER A class fighters.

      A level fighters don't get hit with the same ****** punches over and over again.

        That is true, Hatton is always gettin hit with the left hook and Cotto with the uppercut

          He has yet to beat JMM convincingly...then he fought the SORRIEST mofo available at 135..not to mention a poorly trained DLH.

          Next up for Manny is yet another Mayweather leftover..Hatton.
          LOL... youre joking right?

            i agree with your list to an extent.

            personally ide grade judah high the baldomir, just off the level of skill that floyd fought at that time.

              It's true.

              Diaz was the sorriest lightweight in the division.

              JMM beat Manny twice in MANY people's eyes..

                No, Castillo didn't ever "almost" beat Floyd. The first fight wasn't even that close, Castillo just threw a lot of garbage punches on Floyd's arms that don't count for nothing, except the biased HBO crew fooled everyone. Floyd won eight, maybe nine rounds, and that was with a torn rotator cuff. He basically fought Castillo with one arm tied behind his back and still won.

                  Diaz also fought at 140 before, JMM and Manny have been in two close fight some had manny winning or some had jmm winning but the consensus was it was a close fight, a testament to JMM's and Manny's speed and power.

                  But i think Pac's resume is way ahead of mayweather, the name, the risks he has taken, the manner he has won,am not saying PBF isnt good im just saying Hes resumes inferior compared with pac.imo.

                    Not true the 1st fight could have gone either way, while the 2nd fight, I had it 7 rounds to 5. Both were very close fights

                      which fight were you watching?


                      I think your list is pretty accurate, Hatton is probably a B at 147 though.

                      I love how people rip calzaghe saying he has never thought anyone although there really isnt many options for him , where as floyds division had so much, yet he didnt fight most of them and is considered a great.
