This list is still garbage. Consider when he fought these guys, and who the guys were at the weight classes. No to mention, anything from 130-140 is tailor made for Floyd, and he still had trouble with JLC. You can't just put numbers to a name, and not put the fights into context.
Genaro Hernandez (#1 130)
Angel Manfredy (#2 130)
Diego Corrales (#1 130/#5 P4P)
Carlos Hernandez (Top 10 130)
Jesus Chavez (#4 130)
Jose Luis Castillo (#1 135)
DeMarcus Corley (#6 140)
Arturo Gatti (#1 140)
Zab Judah (#5 147)
Carlos Baldomir (RING 147)
Oscar De La Hoya (#3 154)
Ricky Hatton (#8 P4P)
Juan Manuel Marquez (#2 P4P)
Shane Mosley (#1-2 147/#3 P4P)
Victor Ortiz (#2 147)
Miguel Cotto (#1 154)
and now....Robert Guerrero (#3 147)

Theres a saying becoming a champ is the easy part, staying there is the hard part. Floyd tries making staying there as easy as he can get away with, by either ducking, or not fighting.
If Floyd fought every six months or so, those fighters he faced, he would get more credit for it than he does. But having the luxury to fight when he wants to does make who he beats easier.
