    Joppy at 160 WBA belt holder in his prime (robbed against Green, avenged anyway with two wins inc. stoppage) was a good champion and I'd venture to say a better opponent than the versions of Hatton, De La Hoya, Mosley, Maidana, Canelo, Cotto, Guerrero, Ortiz, Judah etc; that Mayweather faced when you factor in where they were in their careers, the weight etc; etc; Can't just go with the names on paper.

      BINGO. WE HAVE A WINNER.

      Say it one more time so the Floyd Boys can let that reality sink in.

      Hopefully this current crop of fighters realize the importance of fighting each other when everybody is prime, so there is no room for scrutiny.

        The Trinidad win is obviously much better than anything Floyd has ever done. It probably beats his best 3 or 4 wins combined.

          I think Floyd's best win was against Corrales and even that isn't better than Hopkins' win against Tito.

            Not even close. Most Floyd fanboys big that one up like crazy weren't even Floyd or Boxing fans when he had that win. Corrales was good, but not a great fighter who was also heavily weight drained and facing a prison sentence the next week.

                  ....is corrales even top 100 p4p all-time? I'd settle for top 75

                    your lack of rating fighters unbiasedly has been exposed thoroughly...

                      Those fighters you named were all rated higher than joppy with exception berto and conor. Joppy was a b minus fighter. And don't talk to me about bias you clown....you're at the other end of the spectrum.
