    They're fairly even, but I give Floyd the edge for what he did early in his career.

      130 lbs? corrales?
      Castillo at 135.

            Corrales, Castillo, Baldomir, and De La Hoya were all ranked number 1 in their division by The Ring when Floyd fought them.

              not true, Baldomir was rated in the champion status, which is different from #1, simply because he was not rated highly at all before fighting Judah. I mean, Gatti was favoured to beat him.

              DLH was not #1 in the division at the time, he was rated from 3-5.

              anyways, Floyd.

                Baldomir was the lineal champion at WW cause he beat Judah who was the Lineal champion.



                I'm gonna look in to De La Hoya right now.

                  Karmazin, Ouma, and Spinks were ranked above him.

                      If Floyd stayed at one weight for most of his career it could be close but he didn't...him jumping up in weight capturing titles triumphs Calzaghe...

                      This question shouldn't even be asked...
