    No. It's the fact that Floyd was PERFECT that night.

    That's arguably the greatest performance delivered in that division.

    It's become cool NOT to credit it as his finest hour, is what you mean.

    Defensively AND offensively he was AMAZING that night.

    According to Floyd his greatest achievement was Marquez knocking out Pacquiao.

    Both were very underrated performances I agree. The 3 straight right hands that PBF threw against Ndou was one of the most amazing things I've seen in the ring. People who have never been in the ring don't realize how hard that is to do.

    I was the most impressed with Floyd's ability in this fight.

    I think a prime Floyd would beat Khan, Brook, Porter, and Thurman on the same night.

    in terms of sharpness I agree N'dou has to be up there if not top of the list. For all round boxing ability I would say Canelo as his boxing brain and technique has naturally improved as his career has progressed.

    Who you calling a Floyd fan boy, you dunce. Augustus was tough for anyone because of his style; ask Mickey Ward if you don't believe me.

    And I've never said a word about Lomawhatshisname or Salido.

    Did you watch the N'dou fight or even Gatti? It can be argued those are just as good if not better performances than Corrales.

    Have you ever watched the Corrales fight? It was perfection on EVERY front.

    Gatti is a punch bag. N'Dou performance he still had trouble in.

    Gatti and N'Dou were nowhere near as big in name as Corrales was at the time of the fight. Corrales was THE MAN at the time, those two guys weren't.

    After watching the NDou fight I remember thinking that's the last time you going to see this guy in a non PPV event, sad thing is it would still be another 2 years before they (HBO/Arum) gave him his first PPV opportunity.
