That's why you're ignored.
I think those guys are just to big although I think he turns Alvarez into a human pin cushion. Welter was probably Oscars best weight or arguably 135 and Cotto's was 147. Trout is a big jr middle probably a weight class out of where he should be. I don't think Floyd would take the Martinez fight at 154 or a catch. To big an ego and should he win he would be burnt at the stake for making Martinez comedown even if Martinez once again offered to. He would get credit for beating a weakened Martinez and expected to meet him at 160.
As far as legacy-defining though, a win over Trout, Canelo or Martinez does more for him than wins over Guerrero or Alexander. I stand by that. Welter was Oscar's best weight, but he fought as high as 160, and Floyd legitimately fought him at 154. If the point is that fighting Cotto and Oscar at 154 is not as impressive (or the same) as fighting a natural junior middlweight, I see your point to an extent, but it decreases the quality of tho wins over Oscar and Cotto then, if he didn't face them at their best weights.
