Of course a Floyd fanboy thinks moving up is the only path to greatness. By that logic, Broner and Guerrero are greater than Hagler. Some people have clearly never watched boxing before 1990, or 2007 for that matter.
You can't apply today's standards to a boxer from the 80s. Winning a title used to be the pinnacle of the sport, now it's just a way to get your foot in the door so you can market yourself for easy money fights.
Hagler fought every tough fighter from his weight class regardless if they had a "name" or not, and even gave rematches to guys he lost or drew with. That's almost unheard of in today's era of fighters.
But Floyd made more money than Hagler, so Floyd > Hagler.

WBO welterweight champion (147 lbs) (3×)

How many is that? Can you count?
you forgot to add two divisions:
lineal featherweight (barerra 1)
lineal light welterweight (hatton).
but forget about the 8th division, it was phony title anyway.

You can't you spastic, because he doesn't have 8.
What world title did he win in the Hatton fight?
