Reality is PBF fought an older, slower, beaten, ODLH and a Hatton who was above his best weight class. That is reality. Along with the other real premise that PBF was the favorite to win both of these fights.......by the vast majority of those in the boxing game...
At the end of the day though.....Don't get me wrong. As I've said many times (and for years, go back several years ago on here......I've been saying what a hell of a boxer PBF is).

WW is the only division where PBF didn't fight the best in the division. Excuse him for not doing it at a weight way over where he started. SRL didn't fight the top SMW's either.
SRL would not have fought Hearns or Duran in today's boxing landscape.
Funny Hatton is above his best weight but no one mentions PBF being above his best weight also.
Edit - at the end of the day it is all opinion because there is no way to compare eras
