Both, without question.
Explain, he was nothing more than a heavy hitting belt holder, who did Nelson beat to be ever considered Elite, that is why I hate giving the olders fighters a pass over this generation just cause, when you know damn well he lost to the B class fighters of the 90's like Leija, and Henendez.......................

Considering ODH destroyed Mayorga like no one else including Cotto, a year before he fought Floyd means he was he was close to prime huh, and the same goes for Mosley who looked spectacular in dismantling Margarito in a prime esqe performance, then fights Floyd a year later and gets dismantled................................But but but things is different when it comes to Floyd huh.........
Name one great fighter he beat in those lighter divisions, I'll wait................................
Margarito was tailor made for Mosley who grew up sparrin with Mexicans fighters anyway. Mosley hadnt been prime since the Winky/Forrest fights, maybe push it to Vargas (but he was done himself then). Mosley of the last 5/6 years Everyone knew if you put Mosley up against anyone with speed and good movement he would gas in the latter rounds, Margarito has none of those things he jsut comes forward.

First ballot Hall of Famer. Nelson was also a pound for pound entrant for many years. Ruled 126-130 in the 80's with wins over Juan LaPorte, Wilfredo Gomez and capped off his career with an incredible win over Jeff Fenech in their rematch in Fenech's native Australia...then came back at 37 and knocked out Ruelas and Leija in succession. At the time he fought Whitaker, his only loss was to the legendary Salvador Sanchez...in his 13th pro bout...in a fight he took on 8 days notice. Was up on one card when the green Nelson wore down and was stopped in the 14th. A truly great fighter--maybe the best ever out of Africa.
He's not great Gomez was his only chip, do you ever here Nelson mentioned along the "greats of that era, Hell No, and are you gonna act like Leija the fringe contender didnt beat avenge Nelson his L.....................By your logic I guess you think Cory Spinks is Elite and ATG
You do know you are hanging your argument on a guy that had 6 l's and 2 draws, right....

First ballot HOF'er. On pound for pound list from 1984-1994. Yeah, not great.
So he won the belt 3x in a weak division taking 6 l's in the process and.........
Do you want me to start throwing out some names of ok fighters thats' on p4p list, HOF of fame I have no issues with, but even that is subective, Aturo Gatti is HOF.................
I guess Felix Sturm is one of the greatest Middleweights of all time since, he's always high on p4p list and has held his title, for nearly a decade

First ballot HOF'er. Pound for pound entrant for a decade. Seems the rest of the boxing world doesn't agree with you, Skippy.

On another note
Floyd got better d den sweet pea
And is clearly ahead of him in all time rankings
Even if he stopped fightin today
Floyd woulda beat sugar ray too to b honest
But sugar rays resume (atleast officially) is more impressive

He's good, not great or elite, that's what some of yall boxing fans have a hard time differentiating, the truth is when Nelson started fighting the bigger names and B class fighters he started taking L's after L

That's your opinion. Don't know any "good" fighters that get into Canastota first-ballot. Do you? Or good fighters that just so happen to remain on the pound for pound charts ten years straight? Do you?
