    Floyd fought both Hatton and JMM so it's a wash. I definitely rank Judah and Baldomir (both undisputed WW champions) over David Diaz (a mere title holder). It has nothing to do with the weight classes.

    What is wrong with you? Floyd was NOT the underdog OR the smaller man in his last five fights. Baldomir was the only natural welter and he was not winning unless Floyd had his shoes glued to the canvas prior to the opening bell. Three of them(Marquez, Mitchell, and Hatton) were fighting their first fight at 147 against Floyd and were certainly not favored.

    What boxing needs is a mega talent like Floyd signing to fight the best natural welters and no more of this fighting smaller fighters who have no chance in hell against him. He said "No smaller man will beat me" Well how about proving your worth at 147 against someone your own size if that is the case?

    Floyd put his belt on the line against hatton as well as his underfeated record and p4p number 1 status?:lol:

    What more do you want? Hatton must have thought he won the lottery:rofl

    The JMM that Pac fought > the JMM that Floyd fought. This is pretty obvious since JMM was in his natural weight in this one, he wasn't as slow and his punches had more power against a junior lightweight than they did against a welter. This was JMM at his best.

    The Oscar that Pac fought < the Oscar that Floyd fought. Again, pretty obvious, Oscar was in his natural weight class (at that age), so it was definitely a better version of Oscar (which isn't saying much)

    The Hatton that Pac fought = the Hatton that Floyd fought IMO. Hatton was fresher against Floyd but in a weight class he wasn't very good in. Hatton was in his natural weight class against Pac and was coming off a great win against Paulie, but had already been KO'd.

    Cotto + Diaz > Judah + Baldomir. Cotto did beat Judah after all, and I think we can all agree that Diaz and Baldomir are sort of non factors compared to the other names here.

    The question isn't which wins are better, it's which opposition is stronger so I'd give Pac the edge. Even if Pac loses to Cotto, Pac still faced the stronger opposition over all.

    Why does everyone bring up DLH, it would've been a good win in the 90's... but DLH was out of it for awhile

    The smaller man is going after the BIGGER guys. In floyd's case he's the bigger man going after the smaller guys. :deal
