    Some consider Canelo to have been in his prime but since he has obviously improved that seems to have been jumping the gun a bit. Not sure wether José Luis Castillo who in my opinion beat Floyd was then in his prime when he did it. I think Maidana might be considered to have been in his prime since he had improved technically. Not sure weather Judah or Ricky Hatton were in their prime though the crowd seemed to feel as if Hatton was .

    The only reason I call him overhyped is because he's a get hit to hit fighter and his resume consists of mostly the same brand of fighter. Raheem would've got his ass too. Junior jones was his daddy who did get beat by morales but both Barrera and Morales were kept away from purists because they would've got exposed early.

    Although both are sound students of the game, their skills would not translate into higher weight classes like the Floyd's and Manny's of the world and both are decent size guys. Morales is taller than Floyd. Their ring age was shortened because of their styles and limits as well.

    Neither one is an ATG. Their great showmen as far as going to war and putting on exciting fights but so was Arturo Gatti. That doesn't mean anything when it comes to actual greatness or skill. If neither guy fought Manny, none of you would even talk about these guys period.

    And Pacquiao was roided to the gills up until 09 (His last knockout). What's your point? Karma caught up to his a** and he got put to sleep. So what

    Marquez was 35 years old when Pac beat him in their second fight.
