    You need to watch more Quartey fights if you are questioning the quality of fighter he was at his best. Prime Quartey would be one of the best wins on Floyd's resume.

    I think it's cool to admire Oscar for his ambition but not his achievements. In my opinion Floyd and Manny both surpass him on the "but who did you beat" list...real victory is greater than moral victory.

    I've watched Quartey, he never managed to reach his potential so difficult to say how great a win he'd be.

    How bout when Fernando vargas beat him at only 21 years of age and compiling a 18-0 record with 17 ko's? Quartey was a very good win for anyone up until 2006...:deal

    Fair enough, but I think the version that fought Oscar would have been a really hard fight for Floyd.

    Vargas had such an amazing early career.. Tragic the way it went downhill so fast.

    Oscar beat a roided vargas, close fight with quartey(win), arguably won against pernell, won against chavez, close fight with tito. those are 3 certified ATGs not to mention numerous good to elite fighters.

    He arguably beat roided Mosley too in the second fight. We saw what old clean Mosley almost did to Floyd.

    As much as i dislike tranny de la hoya there is no doubt his resume is great. lightyears above floyd.

    Asteriks by all his wins terms like "arguably" "possibly" basically Oscar has too many Marquez-Pacquiao type performances, can hardly beat anyone convincingly. Way too many it could go either way fights. A true ATG wins convincingly, don't have to rely on the public to make a case for him. Another reason why Floyd and to a lesser extent Manny surpass him.

    I think Floyd is the greater fighter.. But the opposition faced is not comparable, Oscar faced way better fighters throughout his career.

    Delahoya resume = A
    floyds resume = C-
