That's incredible that a guy this hyped up; his best win is against a prime or near prime Marquez. Corrales was a paper champion who did he actually beat? Hernandez never beat an elite fighter in their prime. Gatti was not an elite fighter, he never beat an elite fighter himself. Castillo never beat anybody great. Baldomir, Maidana, Judah meh. They never beat A level fighters. Hatton paper champion. Who has Canelo beaten?
I know Floyd cleaned out 130, but that was a weak division at the time. He never fought a prime Mosley and Pacquiao like he should have.
Let's look at Pacquiao. He took on a prime Barrera, Marquez and Morales. He lost to peak Morales, but then destroyed Morales twice after he was over the hill. He fought some even matches with Marquez when he was at the top of his game. And he pummeled prime Barrera twice which are probably his signature wins.
Floyd may have actually beaten Mosley and Pacquiao (who he should have fought), but we'll never know because we have no idea how good Floyd was because his signature win was against a blown up Marquez where Floyd took every pound advantage he could get.
