I know you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer but it's a pretty simple question. Even so, feel free to read slowly......

floyd's highest profile wins are questionable when you consider context.
Castillo - even floyd fans admit he lost this one.
ODH- past prime, split decision - i.e. the win isnt even clear.
mosley - past prime. floyd ducked mosley for years.
ortiz - cheap shot in a fight many had ortiz winning to that point. (i read somewhere floyd may also have tested positive for PEDS prior to fight).
cotto - life and death fight with past prime cotto who had already suffered several beatings. a lot of people thought cotto won.
canelo - MD against a green weight-drained fighter.
Maidana - floyd needed a second fight since most people thought maidana was robbed in the first.
pacquiao - BS decision. floyd was outlanded almost 2:1 (see spoon's videos) by a one-armed, past-prime opponent. (Floyds TUE probably approved after a 6-7 figure payment to usada).

Yes he did. Even if the disadvantages were being stacked against Pac.. Pac in the eyes many around the world. Won that with a busted shoulder against an IV ridden Floyd who ran and hugged for 12 ***** rounds.. Amazing stuff.

yes majority of people outside of vegas think pac won the fight and proof is on the video that can not be disputed.

A few things
1) most boxers all time, 90+% of their resumes consist of fights vs solid pro types. Most fighters, if they are lucky, only have a few fights vs big names in their careers, and a few fights, maximum, vs 'great' opponents
2) Floyd has a number of big names on his resume
3) When you have a number of big names on your resume, it is extremely important to look at what version of the big name you fought/beat. Because, for example, beating Muhammad Ali in his prime, is much different than beating him when Trevor Berbick did.
Honestly I can't believe someone is arguing that we don't need to take into account the form of the fighter at the time of the fight.
