Re: With Both Now "Retired," Who Had The Better Legacy, Oscar or Floyd
I agree with that, Its really impossible to say how either guy would have faired against someone they never fought conclusively. I just dont see more than a few great wins on Floyd resume. I dont rate Castillo or Corrales that high even thogh I liked them as fighters and were among my favorites. Though Coralles was an undefeated powerhouse at the time so that wa definately was a very good win. Id say Hatton and Oscar are probably his biggest wins. I have no problem that you think Floyd has a better legacy, thats your opinion and others feel the same way. Im just curious what your reasoning is. He is a multi division champion and he did beat every man in front of him, thats in the books. But did he fight the best in those divisions? I will say this, he was one of the greatest Super Featherweights ive ever seen, one of the best. A very good lightweight, a good light welterweight, and a good welterweight.
