      Sorry but by the time Floyd fought Judah and Cotto both were past prime and washed up. Especially Cotto, Judah was a never was and can't be in the category of an A-class fighter.

      Canelo was green as *** and no where near prime who got weight drained.

      Hatton was also imo never an A-class fighter who also imo lost to collazo prior.

      Corrales and Castillo are really his only prime A-class fighters he's beaten in his career.

      Floyds career wins ae just littered with washed up past prime has-beens and never was type fighters or the not that good champion types.

        How was Williams in his prime or A-Level when he had just lost 2 Quintana.

        Margarito had 2 losses already maybe more. I know Williams and Sergio had already beaten him.

        Sergio was coming into his own and that would've been a great fight.

          I get Canelo was young but some fighters peak earlier than others. He had 43 fights, a world title and half a dozen or more defenses and had just beaten Trout. Not my idea of a 'green prospect'.
          He probably wasn't at his peak but he was clearly in the start of his prime.

          Stylistically it always favoured Floyd and he was so good that night he made Canelo look like a novice. Its not that he was he just made him look like one.

          I'd also add Cotto to the list, A+ no but he's at least an A- level fighter, he's still going strong now.
          Cotto at 154 was his strongest, he was a monster for that fight.

          And do people forget the fact that Floyd went to 154 to fight Oscar, Oscar took all the advantages in that fight, glove size, weight, ring size, etc. Floyd regularly gave up 15+ pounds on fight night. Madaina 2X, Oscar, McGregor, Canelo, and Baldmir all had 15-25 lbs on Mayweather.

            Knocked Quinatana out in the rematch, beat Prime Sergio Martinez, then beat a past it but still good Winky Wright, beat Prime Antionio Margarito, Prime Cintron, Phillips. Williams resume is FAR from lacking.

              Not for me though it was his best weight. I struggle to call him A class.
              Very handy fighter I just don't think he's quite what I'd call A class/level.

                  Paul Williams was never close to an A class fighter. Quite possibly the most overrated fighter I've seen.

                    pacquiao did not beat morales in his prime. this myth has to be stopped. you guys probably weren't watching boxing when morales was prime if you really believe that manny beat him when he was at his best.


                    what gives strength to the morales win for manny was that he got a hell of a lot better in the series, and after it. he was a much more complete fighter at welterweight, even if he was very small for the weight.

                      That's after the fact. When he rumored 2 wanna fight Floyd he lost 2 Quintana.

                      How is Kovalev A-Level when he lost his only BiG fight and hasn't fought since.

                      At the time Corrales was p4p hadn't lost neither had Canelo nor Hatton
