    Corrales had been beaten by May. So it is up for grabs whether or not he could do great things to be a-level after the KO and be an A level prime win for Mayweather. Nope, he got repeatedlt Koed and then clottey ended his careee. He is not A level! And Hatton the same!
    This is why I'm not big on P4P. Especially during a weak era, a lot of guys on that list usually aren't that good, much less great.

      No he wasn't a consensus top 5 pound for pound fighter unless you don't know what consensus means. No comparison between Broner and Corrales at that stage of their careers.


      Corrales beat Joel Casamayor and Jose Luis Castillo. Name one fighter Broner beat on that level. Get your box rec out since you don't actually follow the fighters career's. I'll wait.

            A lot of Floyd fans all of a sudden came out and makes thread about how Floyd's resume is the ATG and should be compared to SRL, SRR, Ali which is laughable, whom of which all three fought Prime A-level fighters and beat them cleanly.
            definition of A-level Fighter: A fighter with exceptional world elite-level skills that had done great things in his career, and can hang on with other A-level fighters with great resume or building a great resume.
            Definition of "PRIME": Prime, a person at the height of his physical strength and capabilities.

            So give me 1 Prime A-level fighter that Mayweather has fought in his ENTIRE career.

            Moseley - Passed his prime
            Pacquiao - Passed his prime
            Corrales - Prime, but lost his big fights, got KO'ed by castillo and multiple times by other fighters, can't be classified as an A-level with those reasons alone
            Castillo - Obvious B-level
            Hatton - Lost all his big fights, and lost AT WELTERWEIGHT to Mayweather instead of his natural weightclass, got a gift also against Collazo, got KO'ed all too easily against an A-level fighter in PAcquiao not really having a good resume, B-level
            Dela Hoya- Passed his Prime
            Shamba Mitchell - LOL
            Andre Berto - LOL
            Carlos Baldomir - LOL
            Victor Ortiz- Even more LOL
            Robert Guerrero - Lost literally to a cab driver
            Maidana - Never did anything great other than beating Broner
            Marquez - Passed his prime, got pulled from lightweight also.
            Miguel Cotto - Damaged Goods, beaten by Margarito and Pacquiao

            So........is this the great resume that you all have been clamoring for? Not having fought a Prime A-level fighter in his entire career?
            This is very nitpicky. The truth is, when Floyd and Pac werent fighting eachother, he faced the absolute best outside of Pac, within his weight class. And when their was no one to fight, he went up in weight. What should he have not faced Mosley at all, since Mosley was apparantly shot, with back to back KO loses!?

            Or since Canelo and Ortiz were "green", he should've faced a bum to let them get better!? Lol

            Floyd's resume is awesome. Faced all those bigazz young fighters, while he was old as dirt, coming off layoffs, and HUMILIATED them. Those dudes where too big to even be in the ring with Floyd.

            I wouldnt change anything with Floyd's resume. Had he and Shane fought, in the late 90's or early 2000's, who would he have fought, after the Pac negotiations fell through!? Berto wasnt ready yet. But when he had his shot, he lost to Ortiz, and Floyd fought him instead!

              Casamayor and Castillo, then was repeatedly knocked out by the same guys. That doesnt make him A-level. Castillo was then knocked out by Ricky Hatton, and Casamayor got knocked out by JMM. His wins are already not that great abd Corrales himslef is not great by being repeatedly knocked out repeatedly. He is not aLevel.

                It depends on what you consider an A Level fighter.

                Is a P4P Top 10 fighter an A Level fighter? I'd say so.

                Floyd's beaten 7 and a few of them were in their prime.

                  manny lost to morrales then morrales got beat,then manny fought morrales again and won.
                  but the dude who beat morrales first was nothing special.
                  marquez won most of his fights against manny,and some of mannys wins were against guys floyd beat first.
                  and canelo was a 2x undefeated world champion with 43 pro fights before floyd beat him,
                  and floyd is the only person to beat him.

                      A level to me is top 5 in a weight class. People are to harsh on boxers IMO if you have got close to the top of your weight class in the world your a top class fighter.
