The way Floyd outboxed JMM, that happens whether JMM is the bigger fighter, Floyd is the smaller fighter, they are the same size, they could both be featherweights, they could both be HW. IT DOESN'T MATTER, the way Floyd outboxed him, that's a mastery of science over one of the greatest counter-punchers ever.
And people want to play it down because JMM came in the smaller guy, people who say that don't know boxing.
You aren't taking an easier fight or ducking someone if the more lucrative, and/or more challenging fight happens to be someone in a lower weight class. If size was everything then guys like Roman, and even Pac and Floyd when they were at the top of the p4p list would never be #1 because using that logic they aren't better than anyone in divisions above them.

If there is one thing I will always be is unbiased, and JMM is a great win, and GGG doesn't deserve flak for fighting Brook either, and that doesn't mean we still don't want him to fight Canelo or Ward, but those fights aren't happening yet so better a fighter fight anyone than noone.
