Both side wanted this fight, and both fighters would receive full credit if they won. Nothing else matters.
I'm wondering will Floyd be Pac's best win if say Pac beats Floyd considering they love to argue about Floyd not beating a prime atg considering MAB was supposedly in his prime when Pac beat him. Will they still say Pac's win over a prime atg b better than a "past it" atg.
If Pac beats Floyd they'll make make Corrales and Canelo to be Leonard and Hagler caliber guys. Just like they say Barrera is an "atg", when the only real elite name on his resume was Morales. He lost to Marquez, Junior ****ing Jones twice :rofl. If he's an atg he's ranked somewhere in the thousands. Now I'm not saying Pac's resume is ****, as an overall it's very good, but a notch below Floyd. Pac deserves more credit if he beats Floyd since Floyd has always been clearly better, but that doesn't mean Floyd deserves no credit.
To be fair, MAB beat McKinney, Hamed, and won and lost to Morales. Was MAB an atg at that time? No. :good
What has Hamed done though? He was all flash, he doesn't have any elite guys on his resume. Augie Sanchez? lol. I'd say the Tapia win is better than hype job Hamed, but still it's not an ATG caliber resume. He'd be ranked in the thousands in most people's atg list. There are just way too many guys that have done more.
