    Your opinions?

    I think it's not easy to make choise when we talk about Floyds best win.
    He had some great performances in super featherweight. Later he dominated and KO'd undefeated Hatton. Floyd also clearly outboxed 154lb champion De La Hoya in my opinion.

    As for his worst fight, it's Jesus Chaves. I watched that fight and couldn't believe how close was it till Chaves ran out of gas, Floyd looked FAR better in every other fight at super featherweight. Floyd explained later that he was completely weight drained prior to that fight. He simply could no longer make the super featherweight limit

    Corrales, Castillo II *, Genaro, JMM, Cotto, Hatton, Mosley, Oscar in pretty much that order.

    *Castillo I is kept out of my lists on this site for the sake of having possible productive dialogue...

    His most meaningless fights after he first won a title are Carlos Rios, Henry Bruseles, ****** Juuko, and Victoriano Sosa.

    What?

    Almost every ATG in history around the weight would have trouble putting Hatton away in the first half if they weren't known for their power.

    best performance : easily corrales (alot of people were tossing up this fight, though floyd was a favorite) and floyd just made EASY WORK of him, dropping and finishing the bigger corrales


    worst fight: the cotto fight, floyd said he was dissopointed with this fight and i can see why, he took alot of punishment im not sure if it was floyd not being able to move as well at 154 or because he wanted to fight cotto and beat him at his own game but i remember watching this fight gobsmacked at how close some of the rounds were

    I'm actually watching the Coralles fight as we speak, either that or Gatti. Amazing.

    jmm does not look good against other counterpunchers especially when he's the one leading the fight.
