the corrales undefeated beating with a move up in weight for starters... that was a show

even the genaro hernandez fight was good


along with countless fights since his debut that showed near perfect form, ring generalship etc...


but none of us here expect a loser like you with 88 posts in 2 days of joining to have seen any of those fights

He has consistently made very good/great fighters look average.

Hatton
Judah
Castillo
Corrales
Oscar
Ortiz
Mosley
Marquez

Nearly all of those fighters were p4p at some point in their career, and in quite a few cases they were p4p when Floyd fought them, most of them have won multiple world titles, in multiple weight divisions. Yes you can break down that list and make it look less impressive, but he got the job done every time and hasn't lost many rounds at all.

Would I have liked to see him fight a prime Mosley or Oscar? Hell yes, I think they would have been extremely tough for him. But Oscar still had a lot left imo when floyd fought him, even if he had seen better days.

His general body of work has been ATG worthy, believe me many guys who you would probably consider ATG's, I could put a slant on their career, and make them look less impressive. The question you have to ask is would Floyd have been at the top or near the top in any era of SFW's, Lighweights, Light Welterweights, Welterweights?...IMO Hell Yes!

The thing missing from Floyd's career is a special fighter, a truly elite prime fighter, we all know who that man is. If Floyd had beaten the equivalent of a Prime Oscar, Shane, and Pacquiao, that would put him right up there for me. But he hasn't which is why I have him in my top 30-50, we will wait and see what he does from now on.

Yeah, he certainly is.

Of course Mayweather is an ATG and so is Pacquiao.
