    What are some examples of fights where one fighter made a highly-ranked fighter look average?

    I would say Roy Jones against Hopkins or Toney.

    Floyd against G. Hernandez or Marquez would be good shouts as well.

    Floyd definitely has a lot of those, Rigondeaux made Nonito look VERY ordinary, Ward has done the same with a couple of fighters. I know Macklin is not really a top opponent but it was ridiculous how easily GGG beat him.

    You could probably take the last loss of many greats and put it in the same category.

    With fighters in their prime I'd say Rigo- Donaire, Mayweather-Corrales is the best example

    Salido vs Lomachenko?

    I mean it was only his second fight but he didn't look like a 2 time Olympic gold medalist, Multiple World amateur and European gold medalist.

    Pac didnt make bradley look like ****. Because Bradley found success against Pac.

    We're talking about completely outclassing fighters. Bradley looked good against Pac, he just lost.
