How GREAT is Floyd if his 2 best wins are Diego Corrales & Jose Luis Castillo?

[King Tua]

Would of liked for Floyd to had fought Casamayor outta all those guys. But while those guys bring different things to the table, to say that their greater than Corrales or Castillo is a re/Pac-tarded thing to do.

those guys can be argued were greater.

if anything it's pretty damn close.

On April Fools day, Marg's greater than Corrales or Castillo. But only with plaster. The main reason you hold those fighters in such regard, is because Mayweather never fought them.

[daggum]

Your kidding if you think someone is going to spend their time with this list piece by piece. At the lower weights, he should of fought Casamayor. That's really about it. Could had fought Shane at 137, but he perfered to fight Oscar. Can't blame him. Manny Pac and all those featherweight legends made sure to stay at featherweight when Mayweather was at 130. Can't blame Mayweather for that. Hatton and Cotto were green at 140 and didn't want it. Tsyzu was getting to a point where he was capable of being beaten by Hatton.Harris would of been a good win, but May wasn't planning on staying at 140 long at any rate. Shane had chances in 2006, Marg is Marg, and it was a shame he didn't fight Cotto, but that's more Arum's and Marg's fault than Mayweather's.

manny pac wasn't even a featherweight then. morales also called him out(i thought he always fought people who called him out?) but he bailed to 135 to avoid him and casamayor and freitas.

Sure. Didn't eat for 4 days to fight Chavez at 130, faught Castillo in basically his first fight at 135, unless you want to count the Augustus fight, which I'm sure you do, since your an, well you know, but sure your absolutely right.

Don't quite see the point in argueing with someone like you, as I sure I can't compete with your quite amazing skills to bend reality as you see fit.

I don't think Castillo or Corrales are HOF level fighters but Floyd's ability to win titles in different weightclasses and for the most part make it look easy strengthens his resume...

His resume doesn't get iffy until 147...I thought he fought the best at 130 and 135 unquestionably...140 can be debated but I don't think that hurts him...

How great is Pac if he was KO'd in 3 by both Medgoen Singsurat and Rustico Torrecampo?

[2120]

All this im the greatest this & that rant from him & his ***** soldiers yet his best 2 wins are diego corrales & jose luis castillo.

In terms of ATG status how much are those 2 wins worth?

Add in his 3rd & best wins which were ricky hatton & gatti or oscar, seriously how great is floyd's resume?


Out of all the guys he beat, only oscar & juan manuel marquez are true legitimate hall of fame fighters. everybody else are borderline hall of famers.
Even those 2 wins dont equate much for greatness being oscar was 35 & the 6th best 154 pounder when he beat him & as for jmm win, juan drinking piss was more valuable than floyd beating a 36 year old career featherweight at welterweight.


I mean how great really is floyd's resume?



Im just hating... errr i mean saying. im just saying.

those are some legitimately good reasons to question floyds greatness

castillo and corrales wins mean much more in hindsight because of the success they had after they fought floyd and they are borderline fall of hamers

but say what you will about the random blood test dodger but he does have three sure hall of famers on his resume Marquez, mab, and Morales (these guys are a lock for casanota)

Oh, I guess Pac didn't do anything since.


LOL.

I think those Floyd wins are great. I often say he was one of the best super featherweights ever.
