    Pacman obliterated Cotto
    Cotto then clearly lost to Trout and Canelo. Cotto a good fighter, but not in the top of Floyd opponents.

    Cotto gave him a much more competitive fight than Pacquaio. But that's just my opinion

    He did. Styles make fights.
    Pacman a better win P4P than Cotto

    Also consider that Manny was pre KTFO version. Marquez took some bite out of pacman

    Yeah mannys scalp was worth more but to be quite frank. I was highly disappointed with how uncompetitive the fight was between Floyd and Manny. Let me preface by saying I expected it to be a easy win for Floyd but not that easy.

    Two older versions. Two rich dudes. Kind of hard to be hungry when you getting paid 100s of millions

    Let's be honest Manny never had more than a punchers chance. Even if we roll it back to 2010. Granted Manny would have definitely made it more interesting. He still doesn't and never had the footwork to be competitive with a pure boxer like Floyd. I'm still under the impression he didn't beat Marquez that 3rd time. I felt he got out boxed.

    Back to the thread at hand Cotto, Corrales/ Cinnamon , Gatti/Manny interchangeable. But how the questions worded matters his best fights is subjective do you mean most competitive. Or just fun fights to watch

    Not in Floydland. Floyd told Cotto in that Max Kellerman thing that Cotto was undefeated because Margarito cheated and PAC fought him at a catchweight. According to Floyd, if you are suspected of cheating or drain someone your wins don't count.

    It takes a lot of discipline for Floyd fans to not only accept those arguments, but then not apply them to Floyd himself. But believe it or not, they're doing it right here in this thread:

    The best fighters he beat, and how dominant those wins were.

    its why I rank the Canelo and Corrales wins so highly. He dominanted them, two real tough and good fighters.

    I'd say a prime Castillo in the rematch was his best win, best opponent, best rival h2h. Both Floyd and Pacman were past their primes when they decided to finally fight and Pacman got brutally ko'd by Marquez, but Pacquiao was still very capable and even today is p4p. DLH, tho past his prime, was also p4p.

    H2H
    1. Castillo
    2. Pacquiao
    3. DLH

    Most significant wins
    1. Pacman
    2. DLH
    3. Hatton

    Wow. A fairly civil Floyd thread. Who would have ever thought?!

    1. Castillo 2 (avenged his earlier loss to Castillo)
    2. Canelo (Canelo was majorly stylistically disadvantaged but he's still huge and elite)
    3. Semi-shot, surgery requiring Pacquiao (who's still good enough to beat a Bradley with relative ease)

    I would've said Corrales but Corrales was very drained. I had no idea to what extent until about half a year ago.
