Good wins for what winning titles? That don't mean anything. Its not like he had some tough fights and was fighting the best. If he was the #1 p4p fighter i understand fighting these guys wouldn't make him lose that spot because they didn't represent a real challenge.
He was wasting time fighting Gatti, Baldomir, Mitchell.(In terms of legacy) And he was doing this fighting them one after another. Sure doing this for the time was a good business move.
Being undefeated is one of the things that helps him sell fights, but it doesn't make him the best and he will never beat close to being the best after many years of fighting low class fighters and fighters past their prime.
I dont think theres a name out their that was better now then before. Mosley is old although I think he can beat Floyd, Cotto has declined, he wont be a productive fighter after 30 he's hurt and has slow down. Pacquiao is the better of the three, but he's small and Floyd has reach and height advantages over him. But this all happen because Floyd retired for two years waiting for guys to be old and hurt. Timing is Floyds best weapon. He knew when to fight Mitchell, Gatti and Judah, but he did it when they were being served in a silver platter.
