Hagler had trouble with Leonard and Duran because he tried to box too much with guys who could box better than him.
Roy had trouble with age, and an unconvential Griffin
Floyd has had trouble with tough a** guys comming forward, but so have all the great boxers who as they've moved up were less powerful punchers, Robinson had that with Lamotta at middleweight, Leonard against Hagler or even Duran at his own weight, Pep vs. Saddler. Besides Sadler and Hagler these were guys who Leonard and Robinson should have easily beaten, but Robinson had a lot of trouble with Lamotta in more than just their first fight, and Leonard altered his style in his second fight and didn't even beat Duran as convincingly as Mayweather beat Castillo the second time, and yes I think Castillo would hold his own against the ATG's at lightweight, he would probably lose, but he would give them a hell of a battle.
I totally agree with this statement. No fighter wins every fight convinsingly and probably no fighter every will. BUT...it didn't stop the true all time greats fighting the other greats of their time. Floyd simply hasn't done that...
