Why does Floyd have to win 7 titles to be great?

But, by most people Duran ranks higher than Leonard. Duran beat Leonard and then lost 2x, then Duran also lost to Benitez, Hearns, and Hagler. Leonard beat all those 3 guys. And, again beat Duran 2x. Yet still most people rank Duran higher than Leonard.
So H2H match ups does not decide for me who is greater.
I hold Pac higher than Floyd all time. And, I would have to see in what kind of fashion does Floyd beat Pac for me to rank him higher than Pac. And, if Pac beats Floyd he would not move that much more spots to me either. But, it depends on the fashion. Either way a win from either guy would be the best win of their careers.

Manny has Fighter of the Decade and also has a better resume.
To me, just beating Manny isn't enough. He has to accomplish a few more things to get on Pac's level (accomplishment wise).
Also what would be Ironic, and something you guys might not wanna hear, is that they could possible give the Lineal/Ring WW title to Manny if Shane beats Berto and Manny beats Shane. That would be funny as hell, and people wiould be pissed, but Manny would have the WBO/WBA/WBC belts at WW.

Timing is everything. What made Duran so great is that he went on to accomplish so much more after Leonard. I don't see such a scenario with either fighter here.
I think that means a lot is the fashion of the victory. Floyd really moved up for me by the fashion that he beat Shane. And, him beating Pac similar dominant fashion can have him rank ahead of Pac. But, if he beats him like he did with Castillo or to a lesser extent with Oscar. That it was just like an eh type or performance. Than I am not sure I could put him ahead of Pac.
Same with thing Pac if he beats Floyd like he has beating his 4 opponents he might move a significant amount. But, if he beats Floyd like he did JMM. Then he stays around the same spot IMO.
But, like I said either way a win would be the best win of their career. Floyd>Barrera, Pac>Corrales.

I think the biggest myth on NSB s that Manny accomplished "way more" then Floyd.
Its pretty damn close.
