    I think so - flloyds best win is probably Corrales or DLH and this is WAY above those

    I'd say Hatton, Corrales and Castillo are Floyd's 3 best wins, with Hatton and Corrales being undefeated and in their prime but Ricky outside of his division, and Castillo beating Floyd on my card in their first fight.

    Pac has Barrera, Marquez, Hatton and Cotto, with Barrera, Cotto and Marquez being in their prime altough most experts had Marquez winning at least 1 fight (the 2nd), and Hatton, past it but in his natural division. You could make an argument to put lineal champ Sasakul in the "best of" pack, that's an often overlooked win. Pac was just 19.

    When it comes down analysing victories, RIP Champ, but I just don't rate Corrales that high, especially pre-Casamayor and pre-Castillo. Therefore, I'd say the 1st Barrera win is bigger than anything Floyd has ever done, and Cotto being even bigger than that.

    I agree. Money's best wins might be against:

    Corrales: Underdog and many thought he would lose but floored him about 5 times!

    Castillo 2: Showed he was able to beat him convincingly after getting a gift the first time.

    I think Floyd going up to fight Oscar at his weight is slightly better than this win. But this performance trumps anything Mayweather has ever done considering class of opposition.

    I wouldn't say floyd's career as a whole, more like floyd's career at welterweight...this is pacquaio's 2nd fight at welterweight and instead of having a safe fight he goes and demolishes one of the division's best. Floyd hasn't really fought a true welterweight since Baldomir
