    PEOPLE MOVE UP. Realize that.

    Is Hagler's win over Hearns a throwaway because Hearns was a "Welterweight"?

    Floyd beat a FW in Marquez. Why is that a good win?
    He beat Canelo who once was a WW. That win sucks right?

    Get your own head out of your ass. Is Vargas not a WW now? He beat an up-coming Ali by knockout for a WW belt.

      Judah (coming off a loss to baldomir)
      Baldomir (worst lineal champ ever)
      Hatton (jww, looked bad against Collazo at ww)
      Jmm (moved up 2 divisions for this fight)
      Mosley (good win)
      Ortiz (jww, beat berto who has beaten nobody)
      Guerrero (lw, beat berto who again has beaten nobody)
      Maidana (jww, beat broner who has beaten no good ww)
      Manny (good win)
      Berto (has beaten nobody)

      The only wws floyd beat that did anything significant at ww were shane and pac. Marquez looked like a weak win at the time, but looking back it might not be quite as bad considering his ko of Manny and close loss to bradley.

        Bradley's best run was at light ww, not ww, at light ww he beat Miguel Vazquez, Kendall Holt, Nate Campel, Luis Abregu, Lamont Peterson and Devon Alexander, he beat all these guys in their primes but unfortunatley he didn't get the hype that he deserved at that time. People started paying more attention to him after the Pacquiao fight and some people don't like him for the decision, which is a damn shame really. However I think Bradley's best days were at 140 and he's past his best with or without Teddy Atlas or whatever, he can still compete at the elite level though.
        I agree, and to answer the OP, I believe Bradley, Pac and Brook (though he hasn't proved himself yet against the top wws) are above the rest of their division.

          Marquez had just KOd Pacquiao and looked in better shape than most 25 year old athletes.

          Compubox don't mean **** with me son.
          didnt say atlas was his trainer, just stated that his current trainer scored it a 7-5 and that was only bc JMM was staggered in the 12 th round

          i mean bradley got a split decision on a 40 year old dude,

          i don't care about his physical appearance, jmm looked really slow in that fight.

          mayweather really toyed with JMM and i hate mayweather.

          bradley had a way harder time.
