    Going by Boxrec, Floyd's reach was 2 inches longer than Corrales'

      But, as I was watching the fight last night, I was thinking this is what it would have looked like if Floyd had fought Golovkin.
      Golovkin fighting tall behind his jab and Floyd swarming in applying pressure, slowly wearing GGG down with power punches to head and body?

      I'm having trouble seeing it like that, tbh.

        And unlike Campbell Corrales was a world champ and a p4p top 10 fighter

          He and Floyd both started out in the same division, so Corrales had no natural size advantage and his reach was 2 inches shorter than Floyd's.
          His reach was longer then Floyd...Oscar,Baldo,Mosley pick whoever you want but all were bigger and more accomplished then Campbell

            Of course those guys were more accomplished than Campell.
            Oscar (38-4-0), Baldo (43-9-6) and Mosley (46-5-0) all had more fights than Luke and
            all were years past their best days.

              Don't know where you're getting that from, Boxrec gives Floyd's reach as 2 inches longer than Diego's.

              Baldomir and Mosley were no taller and longer than Floyd. Oscar was, but his reach is only slightly longer than Floyd's, and he didn't fight tall and make Floyd come after him.

              For sure, Floyd has beaten bigger and better opponents than Campbell, but I'm not trying to argue that point. What I'm saying is that Floyd never fought anybody who had as much size, height and reach over him as Campbell has over Loma, and also the right kind of style to make those advantages tell.
