I'll take his wins over Hernandez, Corrales, Manfredy, or Castillo anyday over the win over a terribly overmatched Gatti.

I wasn't too impressed with the performance against DLH. DLH is bigger and all so that helps in Mayweather's favor, but Floyd was rather underwhelming and disappointing in that fight.
I agree. Those aren't the best fighters he has faced...but those are the three names that have given him the most publicity and hype. As i stated earlier, he fought and beat some good fighters early in his career...but nothing on his resume jumps out for me and says "top 10 greatest fighter of all time." I have in the top 30 or there abouts....but he doesn't come close to top 10.
Top 30, is really, really, really impressive.

I'm a fan of him but I'm thinking that ranking him that highly might be a bit of a stretch.

It's very hard to compare anyway.
I rank him more for his skill and defense than i do his resume. I am not huge Floyd fan, but i can appreciate that he is a highly skilled fighter. Skill wise he compares favorably with the all time greats.
