I am going by what You said and what You used to back it up.
You do what typical Floyd boys do which is try to change the subject altogether, label people haters, or make it about Manny
You said Floyd beat a slew of Hall of Famers and All time greats, when asked how many of those guys from your backing list were in their prime you claimed all of them, but you listed many fighters who clearly was not in their prime and nobody would consider even a top 30 all time great. I would be interested in knowing actually how many are inducted in the hall of fame.
Your list wreaks of falsehoods.
You list Arturo Gatti and Oscar and Hernandez as prime? You do realize you listed Shane Mosley as "arguably" an all time great but in reality was a shopworn 38 year old fighter by the time Floyd fought him, yet made nothing but excuses for Floyd, and want full credit for it but it don't work like that.
If he was a prime all time great fighter Floyd beat, the accomplishment needs no excuses it stands on its own merit. Same thing for Cotto and Manny.
You want the excuses you are providing be facts for why Floyd can't count most of them as prime wins but that's not how it works.
Digging below the surface of your statement, only Hatton Corrales and Alvarez were in their prime, and none are all time great fighters. To save face you are claiming Canelo Alvarez is a "future" or "potential" all time great, but that is not reality right now.
You do what Floyd boys do, which is try to give him more credit than what is deserved for beating fighters who were clearly past their prime or not as highly ranked legacywise. You can't accept that Hatton, Alvarez and Corrales are the best prime guys Floyd beat, because legacywise it don't stand up to the 30-40 some odd guys who lap him in the all time great category.
