All anyone i saying is that Floyd has beaten guys that were at that level. Corrales was Top 5 P4P undefeated, and that was a push betting wise. People legit felt Floyd would lose that fight, probably the last time anyone even doubted him.
Castillo though not P4P is the best Lightweight of his era. Was Bradley the best JWW of his era, he could have proved it against Khan but didn't unfortunately. Is he the best WW of his era, not even close. Castillo was way way way better then anyone ever gave him credit for. Wins over Johnston, Casamayor, Lazcano, arguably beat Floyd himself just to name a few. He was a real real good fighter.
Hatton was also undefeated and Top 10 P4P. Was the consensus man at 140, much like Bradley the first time Pac fought him.
Mosley was Top 5 P4P and the real #1 WW. He had just beaten Margarito, and everybody and their brother said Floyd would avoid him, and Team Pac openly said they weren't interested in fighting Shane at that point after what he'd done to Tony.
All of those wins are as good as a win over Bradley.
And time will tell with Canelo. Canelo was coming off a huge win over then unbeaten Trout. That was a very good for Floyd. Canelo just abused Angulo, a Top 10 154 guy. And if he beats Lara, who along with Floyd/Canelo/Molina is one of the best at 154 and should be undefeated.....well that Canelo win looks even better if that happens.
