History will look back kindly on Floyd, they will see his resume is plastered with the big names of the era, 13 world titles, 5 weight classes, 10 #1 ranked fighters fought in the divison being fought in, 7 Top 10 P4P fighters beaten, a long list of HOF'ers.
Floyd's resume is insanely good on paper. It's a lot better than it actually is. Obviously Floyd has a great resume but on paper? ****, on paper it's one of the most impressive resumes.
All of the above whilst being undefeated? That's big recipe for being ranked highly.
In 20 years time people aren't going to look back and dissect his resume like the people who hate him who lived through his era do.
All they will see is Floyd beat Cotto when he was ranked #1 at JMW? Floyd beat Pacquaio when he was P4P #2? Mosley when he was #1 WW and P4P #3? Undefeated Canelo who was P4P ranked? Undefeated Hatton and Corrales who were P4P ranked? Etc etc etc.
