Completely one sided fight.

Ironically Floyd is simply too far superior to his contempories for his wins to enhance his legacy. He makes his opponents look so bad that beating them doesn't seem a big deal.

It's a strange paradox, but if Floyd wasn't quite as good, he'd actually be more highly regarded.
It's true.

Similar thing with Calzaghe when he fought Lacy and the Kessler. I know it's a different level, but if Calzaghe had beaten Kessler in the same way he beat Lacy, he wouldn't have got half the credit for it. Same with Mayweather, who's doing it to opponents of a much higher level.
