    Hatton elite? he was a very good fighter at 140 but showed in his outing at 147 v Collazo he didn't belong above 140. Hatton was never elite either, but he was very good, underrated by some but not elite either.

    Corrales is the best win of Floyd's career and great win.

    I'll always give credit where credit is due. Floyd is probably the best of his era, the time he lasted in the sport at the top level is exceptional but i call a spade a spade too. He never showed any willingness to fight a true elite prime fighter for the last 10 years of his career, he himself admits he makes fights at the right time and it's not just financially. He also should have at least 1 loss on his record.

    GGG getting robbed by against a supposed elite prime fighter in Canelo is better than anything Floyd did in the last 10 years simply because he always picked opponents at the right time for him, not them. I respect the business sense behind it, but that's about it. Andre Ward challenges himself far more than Floyd was willing to.

    I'd never for one moment suggest GGG is better than Floyd or anything like that but i'd much rather be a fan of a man who has the mindset to rule his division instead of a man who fakes retirements when the division is getting a bit dangerous and waits for all those he's avoiding to take something out of each other before he fights them.
    Hatton was willing to move up and fight the best. Why didn't GGG do the same? And GGG hasn't challenged himself as much as floyd has wtf are talking about? Anyone from 154 to 168 my a$$.. .Floyd went up 4 divisions and beat the champions and contenders everyone demanded him to fight......yall only started crying like b1tches went he beat em. Andre Ward is this eras tbe but he aint THE TBE because his resume doesn't stack up yet but he is on his way.
