You could say nel o and pac wins have ages well but don't mean they are great wins. But surely you could have been more imaginative and named someone other than floyd?
But why not cotto? He beat Sergio didn't he?
But most of Floyd s wins didn't age too well. Most disappear soon after losing to floyd
Marquez over salido is a good shout. A couple that come to mind for me:
Roy Jones over Bernard Hopkins
Salvador Sanchez over Azumah Nelson
Margarito over Sergio Martinez
Andrey Kotelnik over Marcos Maidana
Freddie Norwood over Juan Manuel Marquez
Beat me to Sanchez's win over Nelson. I think it really is a good example as he was getting it handed to him by a 14 fight pro, from what I see anyway. Azumah's ensuing HOF career makes it a bit easier for me to watch him beat Sal up for a lot of that fight
Was gonna say the same thing, Floyd v Pacquiao at least is ageing badly so far, I think it's likely gonna be forever looked upon as a flawed fight

Floyd beat drained green nelo. Floyd s win over jmm He bloated jmm up and cheated scales. Pac, most think he lost to Pac, Pac was gun shy still not long after jmm ko. Pac today is a better versio n.

Nope, a lot of his wins DID age well.
Pacquiao went on to after the Floyd fight beat Bradley, Vargas, Matthysse and Thurman. Which fighter from 2016 on has a better resume than that? Can count on one hand for that and you still won't use all of your fingers. I'd say that win aged well, not to mention Pacquiao was P4P #2 fighter in the world at that time.
Canelo just a year later went on to beat Lara and then went on to beat GGG, Jacobs and Kovalev. I'd say that win aged well.
JMM showed he can compete at WW by his performances against Pacquiao and Bradley, but that win was what it was. Odds were actually closer than people think but he went back down to LW after the fight before making his way back up to WW.
Cotto had some nice performances post-Floyd against Martinez, Geale and even was solid against Canelo. Did get clearly beat by Trout and later Ali years later. But solid win for sure.
Funny how you mention he drained Canelo but then said cheated the scales of JMM. All he did was prevent JMM from draining him!!!!!!! See how that works?
