    Floyd's best win is probably Corrales. Other than that he has some good wins over a few faded HOF fighters, but nothing outstanding.

    His resume is weak for his skill level, he hasn't achieved anywhere near enough.

      hatton was undefeated lineal champ at 140

      baldomir was lineal welter champ

      oscar was the #1 guy at 154

      Cotto was a 154 champ and future 4 division champ

        I'm very partial to the Castillo rematch. He came back in an immediate rematch against a fighter many, including myself, feel he lost to, and he won a clear decision. I think more of it because I feel he lost the first fight.

        Plus I think Castillo is the best opponent, taking into consideration not just who but when, that Mayweather ever fought.

          Honestly the best thing about floyd that impresses me was that he fought the 140, 147, and 154 champ in 3 straight fights, then went on hiatus and cameback and as tuneups fought the lightweight champ marquez and welter champ shane.... Those were his tune-ups...

          Im not a huge floyd fan but you gotta give him his due

            Dictating the ring, ref, gloves size, and running in the 12th like no other fighter i've seen in a huge stage while hearing boos in the audience against a C-level fighter who have been beaten/outboxed more decisively by a B-level fighter in Alexander doesn't sound TBE to me..

                      It's weak when you put it into context and base it on his skill level.

                      ODLH, Mosley, Cotto are all good wins but they were all faded and not at their best. Neither was Marquez and he was cheated on the scales.
