    Too many great victories to name, but heres a few
    -Manny Pacquiao - made the lightning fast Pacman miss most of his shots. It was like he was punching thin air most of the time
    -Undefeated Canelo Alvarez - Alvarez was young, but it was an impressive win. Some say he never lost a round at all to him
    Oscar De La hoya - Close fight with the 6 division champ
    Juan Marquez - was much heavier, but he dominated him and Marquez KO'ed pacman
    Phillip D'Nou - beast with 34 knockouts out of 37 wins
    Robert Guerrero - was unbeaten for 8 years and mayweather schooled him
    Cotto - schooled
    Shane Mosley - landed a few good hits but May recovered and kicked his ass

    What a legend. Which win was most impressive

    1. Corrales - punch perfect clinic against a man some predicted would destroy him

    2. Hernandez - Handily won his first world title against a very seasoned champion who only previously lost to the brilliant Oscar

    3. Gatti - Far from the greatest guy ever, but Floyd made him look like he never boxed before and he really let his hands go for the fight

    4. Castillo 2 - Many (including me) believe he lost the first fight, but he gathered himself up and left no doubt in the immediate rematch

    5. Oscar - De La Hoya wasn't quite at his peak, but he was certainly not shot either. He looked seriously impressive in the previous fight with Mayora and you bet your a** he was seriously motivated to get in prime shape for Floyd. He was the aggressor and he looked the much bigger man, but floyd's sharp punching and composure won him the fight and made him the breakthrough star

    It would be easy to add Canelo, Manny and Mosley to this list, but I picked fights were nobody can argue that Floyd 'bought' judges or called all the shots.

    Not sure about quite a few parts of your list.

    Anyway, top 5 in no order probably something like: Canelo, Castillo 2 (given context of their first fight), Corrales, Pacquiao (given Pac is still a top WW years later) and maybe Baldomir.

    Been a while since I've seen most of these fights though

    1. Hernandez. He couldn't dance for the title he had to take it. He took it.
    2. Corrales. Undefeated, wasn't supposed to get dropped 5 times by the little guy.
    3. N'dou was riding a hot streak, threw everything at Floyd. Probably his best schooling/beatdown, but against a good, not gr8 fighter.
    4. Augustus. Like that pesky fly @ a cookout that won't leave PBF alone. Floyd threw, Emanuel did, tit 4 tat until PBF sat down on his punches.
    5. Canelo- Advanced boxing. Made it look easy.

    Cotto, Marquez and Canelo did not go at all how I expected it.

    Mayweather had no respect for Cotto, rather dominant in that fight.

    I'll add Corrales and Gatti too.

    I'm glad Mayweather retired, but now we have an even worse Mayweather called Canelo. Less talent and a lot more A side BS.
