I think we should count the Pacquaio bout, personally.

Not just looking at the names, also the stuff surrounding the fight.

1.Manny Pacquiao
2.Oscar De La Hoya
3.Shane Mosley
4.Miguel Cotto
5.Canelo Alvarez
6.Juan Manuel Marquez
7.Ricky Hatton
8.Marcos Maidana
9.Robert Guerrero
10.Victor Ortiz
11.Andre Berto
12.Conor McGregor

Canelo is not that high because of the 152lbs Catch-weight if anyone is wondering. De La Hoya is second because he beat him while Oscar had most of the advantages. Mosley #3 because he beat Margarito just before that and Floyd came back from adversity.
Cotto at #4 because he beat him at the best weight at the time.
Marquez isn't that high because he came up 2 divisions and most importantly since Floyd missed weight intentionally to have an advantage (can't think of another reason).
Hatton is not over the others because Floyd didn't beat Hatton at his best weight and I don't feel like he is as skilled as the wins ranked above him.

DLH was a gift, I had Oscar winning 115-113

Hatton - this was the fight that saw Floyd coming out of a "retirement" so that he could duck a rematch with Oscar. Ricky came up from 140, and Joe Cortez refused to allow Hatton to fight on the inside, which was his only hope. Took Floyd ten rounds and help from Joe to do what Manny did in two rounds.

JMM - came up two weight classes while drinking his own urine. Floyd didn't make weight for the catchweight and refused to be weighed the day of the fight.

Mosley was past his prime. Had been chasing a fight with Floyd since 135, but Floyd ducked him at his best. A familiar pattern.

Ortiz - he had to beat Berto to get his shot, and has proven to be a marginal B-rate fighter since he was hyped prior to fighting Floyd. Of course winning by cheap shot wasn't a good look either.

Cotto - also not at his best, but it was a good win nonetheless. I'd actually count this as his best win since Corrales.

Guerrero - see Ortiz

Alvarez - got him green and at a catch weight. Perfectly timed cherry pick as Canelo's popularity was peaking with Mexican fans.

Maidana - another gift for Floyd. Maidana was robbed. He was a cherry pick gone wrong, I don't think Floyd anticipated the fight he got from Marcos. Floyd crying about gloves and threatening to call off the fight that day was a b!tch move.

Maidana II - Floyd brought in some help from Kenny Clueless, cried about fouls and being bit, all along fighting dirty himself with elbows, clinching, and pushing.

Pacquiao - where do we start? Pac was not at his best, had an injured shoulder, and Floyd came into the ring fresh off the IV that likely masked whatever PEDs he was taking. One of his worst "wins".

Berto - do we really need to bother? He was already beaten by Ortiz and Guerrero, who Floyd already beat. Garbage fight against a human punching bag.

McGregor - took him ten rounds to beat a 0-0 MMA fighter. Should have never been a sanctioned fight, his 50th win was a glorified exhibition.

Then you shouldn't rank JMM over Hatton if you say he had to come up two weight classes and that's why the win isn't ranked as high.

Canelo didn't seem all that bothered by the catchweight. His punch resistance didn't suffer nor did he tire compared to prior fights. In fact, he was able to throw more shots against Floyd than he was against Trout and had more left in the tank to close the fight. It was just a terrible styles match up as Canelo at his heart is a boxer/counter puncher and you just aren't beating Floyd with that style....Since he does a lot of the same things with faster hands and quicker reflexes.

I'd go:

1. Pacquiao (#2 ranked P4P and beat Bradley shortly after)
2. Canelo
3. Mosley (#3 ranked P4P and beat the dog ish out of Margo a fight prior)
4. DLH
5. Cotto
6. Hatton
7. Maidana II (First fight was close and he handled business better in the rematch)
8. JMM
9. Maidana I
10. Ortiz
11. Berto

What a run he had. Turned me into a hardcore boxing fan.

It impacts the rating for me. I rank Marquez over Hatton because Hatton was a 140lb fighter at the time and Floyd didn't beat him at his best weight. And for me Marquez is just a way better fighter. So if there is something with the weight in both cases I pick Marquez over Hatton

And for me the Catch-weight does hurt where I rank the Canelo win. It was there for no reason.

[giant_king]

Lol I don't know how Conor made the list.floyds dad just called Conor out and I believe he can beat him.he's a old geezer but man if you look at some of his YouTube videos the man still has alot of skill and energy

Being there and impacting him are two different things. There was a catchweight for Porter/Broner and no one talks about it. Why? Because Porter clearly beat him.

And what is Floyd's best weight? What does this even mean? So if Canelo beat Floyd, would the win have been discounted since Floyd's best weight was 130? So any loss for Floyd after he left 130 wouldn't have meant much? Hatton at 140 wanted ZERO parts of Floyd and turned down the fight multiple times. He gets no excuse for that, especially when Floyd's best weight wasn't 147 either.

But hey it is your list, so have at it!
