    His BEST win was his rematch with a prime ATG, Castillo.

    Past prime but still quite dangerous PAC being # 2.

    Corrales #3

    Past prime Oscar #4

    Cotto @154 #5

    Castillo is no ATG.

    Floyd hasn't got a SINGLE win over an ATG, in their prime, at their optimal weight.

    Easily the best career resume among active fighters.

    He has the record for number of former or future champions defeated. And most of those champions were long reigning or highly touted. Several HOF'ers in that mix as well.

    In a couple years it will look great. At the moment people will say "Oh this fighter was old and that fight was at a catch-weight" but after those thoughts subside people will realize he fought every big name in his era and beat them

    It's mediocre.
    Dude doesn't like taking challenges and history will remember him for that.

    While Pac obviously wasn't as good as he once was, he did have 2 back- to-back good performances against Algieri and Bradley, and Bradley is an elite fighter imo. And almost every fighter makes some excuse after losing a fight. Pac couldn't even get the necessary range to throw his right hand anyway so it didn't matter. And yeah Berto is a **** fight but in the large scheme of things Mayweather has fought everyone in his era.

    Pacquiao was still plenty fast in the Bradley and Algieri fights.
