    Elite - Hernandez, Corrales, Castillo, De La Hoya, Marquez, Mosley, Cotto

    World Class - Judah, Hatton, (Guerrero)

    Very Good - Manfredy, Chavez, Gatti, Baldomir, Ortiz

    Corrales would be the only elite fighter in his prime that Floyd Beat. All the others-ODLH, Mosley, Cotto were past it.

    Judah, Hatton and Hernandez were very good fighters though

    Below that level throw in Manfredy, Ortiz, and Gatti

    Maybe but he fought them at weight classes that favored them and coming off of big wins.

    Pacquiao did the catch weight thing and usually coming off of a loss / poor showing.

    I love the way most of you are calling Corales elite...

    If he was still alive you'd be calling him chinny,,,,
