Dude, that is still a heavyweight vs a middleweight...Sugar Ray Robinson lost to what you would call a C-list heavyweight when he tried to become the 1st middleweight to beat a heavyweight...and he lost too because that weight much of a weight difference matters (plus Ray Robinson was extremely fatigued because of the temperature in the ring)
Wasn't like he was going to make his 1st heavyweight appearance against Lennox Lewis lmao
>Floyd beat prime: Canelo, Hatton, Castillo, Coralles
I said an all-time great fighter lol - the only one on this list who qualifies as great is maybe Castillo who many feel beat Floyd in their first fight...Corralles was still *green* when he fought Floyd and so was Canelo...and Hatton was barely a 'good' fighter lol
BHop was 21-0 w/16 KOs when he fought Roy
