Actually he beat 2 undefeated prime HOFers Corrales and Hatton, in addition to Canelo.

Neither one of those guys would be considered all time great fighters.

[djtmal]

I think corrales is a tier below guys like Duran, hearns, Benitez, and Hagler but that's my opinion

He's a full 3 tiers below those fighters imo.

Hatton was never good at 147 so Def not to great win but, but if you want to give him Corrales that's fair. I think corrales is a tier below guys like Duran, hearns, Benitez, and Hagler but that's my opinion

Hatton's only fights at 147:

--Collazo (extremely close decision win)
--Floyd (loss)
--Senchenko (retirement loss)

Well maybe 2? I don't know how many tiers there are but they are top level and he's definitely below.

Hatton was never good at 147 so Def not q great win but, but if you want to give him Corrales that's fair. I think corrales is a tier below guys like Duran, hearns, Benitez, and Hagler but that's my opinion. Canelo is on a somewhat similar tier but 2 154 Champs fighting at 152 tarnishes that fight. So like I said 0 great wins imo.

Of course its a great win. An undefeated HOFer in his prime. Not like he brought him up 2 weight classes like Rigo.

Yes, he is tier below.

Of course he has great wins. If it was anyone else, you’d call beating Manny, Cotto, Corrales, Hatton, Shane, Canelo great wins.

Yes I agree with that

Tank studied Floyd's career very carefully and thats why he fights a lot of smaller guys moving up. Just easier. Or I should say Floyd studied his own career and knew which were the easiest fights so now hes passing that knowledge on to his Lil son aww

They are HOFers. They were prime and undefeated as I said. I didn’t suggest they were ATG’s

The ATG’s he beat were ODH, Shane, Manny, Canelo.

Never fought Kostya, Margarito, prime Pac, Paul Williams, Lara, GGG. Suddenly retired when the division started heating up. Kept on fighting stinker after stinker instead of fighting the best at the time.

———-
Kotsya quit on his stool against Hatton in June, 2005. That was exactly the same time Floyd moved up to 140 Ibs to destroy Gatti so when exactly should Floyd have fought Tszyu?
A prime PAC was destroyed by Marquez in 2012 so when was his prime?
Margarito was destroyed by Mosley who got beat up by Floyd a year later.
Lara and GGG fought at 154 and 160. Floyd’s first fight at 154 was in 2012. So when exactly did Floyd duck those guys? Why didn’t they drop to 147 to challenge Floyd who started his career at 130 Ibs?

Whose career did Loma study?

Duck Shakur to fight Kambosos. Not fight Walters at 126. Bring Rigo up 2 weight classes.

You’re fine when he does it. Why the difference?
