Floyd Doesn't Have A Terence Crawford or Spence ype of fighter on his resume?

Canelo ?
Pacquiao ?

Corrales was hyped like Spence was it was considered to be Leonard/Hearns at Super Featherweight division and Mayweather destroyed him similar to Spence/Crawford.

 

The OP said from 135 - 154. Corrales was at 130.

 

Why would he need to? Who have Spence or Crawford beaten that's anywhere near the level of competition Floyd dismantled?

 

Watching Barrios demolish Ugas last weekend made me second-guess my original reaction to Bud's win over Spence.

 

Look, Floyd had to have been pretty damn good if we're still starting threads on him...

 

Don't see any Pacquiao threads being made, though...

 

Floyd has a bud Spence level guy in every division really.
Diego REALLY should have been a unification bout but the IBf stripped Diego for his domestic charges 5/6 months before the fight. Chickanito might be the BEST SFW of the 90’s. Castillo is arguably a top 5 135 fighter from 1990-now if we looking at body of work.

140 he never got a chance because guys like hatton/Cotto didn’t want to fight and hbo/sho didn’t try to make the tyszu fight. At 147 I mean manny a current champ won the lineal title at 147 after losing to Floyd and we know what he did before Floyd. Marquez even tho they downplayed it at the time lineal at 135 arguably had just whooped manny the yr before, we’ve seen Canelo jump 2 weight and also Kova, we’ve seen bud move up from 135-40-47, Shane Mosley jumped from 135-47 and beat Oscar twice technically. Marquez KO’d manny after arguably beat Bradley as well..

154 Canelo and arguably Oscar as well, Oscar had just KO’d Mayorga who was the #2 guy and WBC champ at 154, a guy who was a former UNDISPUTED 147 champ. And after that win Oscar was the #1/2 guy at 154.. ppl just don’t like Floyd the person or Money May the character but Floyd the fighter was really unreal.
I rock with Errol Spence he in my top 3 active fighters and I got a lot of respect for Bud and his accomplishments but being a unified champ isn’t some new thing, being undisputed isn’t new either the 4-belt era is only since 2007 which seems like a long time now but it’s really not that long. In 2006 Judah-Baldomir was a undisputed 147 fight with the WBC/WBA/IBF and ppl crap on Floyd for beating both of them back to back, I say that to say that while undisputed is cool what you do and who you do it against matters as well not just the accomplishments.

 

I think most of them beat Spence. Skill would always be a considered in a fight, no?
