at 130- floyd beat everyone,, genaro was a great fighter, manfredy was a solid contender of that era, corrales was another great win, chavez and famoso would both go on to be champs,, I think floyd's 130 resume is fantastic,,,
at 135 JLC was not the weakest link,, JLC was the lineal champ, and has beaten corrales, diaz, casamoyer, johnston,,, JLC was a legit champ and was a really good fighter
at 140,, yes floyd's resume is really weak,, he was gonna fight tsyzu after the gatti fight, but hatton spoiled those plans,,,
at 147- floyd beat zab and baldomir, the former lineal champ and the current lineal champ,,, i dont know how you can complain when a guy fights the lineal champ,,
at 154- oscar and canelo were both considered the top guy at that weight,, Oscar was in a pretty weak division at the time, but was still the #1 guy there, Canelo solidified his position at 154 by beating trout,,,
being lineal at 130,135,147,154 is an incredible feat,,, Yes floyd has cherrypicked at times, but he still is a 4 division lineal champ,,, that is a very rare feat
