Corrales. He dropped him like 5 times in that fight and just thoroughly dominated a bigger man in Corrales.

I needed the money and they gave me an offer too good to refuse". He was not only broke, but his marraige had broken up and he was headed to gaol immediately after the fight. The money was for the lawyers.
Mayweather took bad advantage. It was a disgrace.
Make some more excuses for Chico like he got kidnapped by and sodomized by aliens the night before the fight~ he was just to man to admit that.
If rearranging his girls face was an issue, he didn't have to take the fight then he could have waited his stretch wasn't that long.

Corrales x5, great fight against a damn good fighter. Gatti simply wasn't that good at that point.
After his trilogy with Mickey Ward he was considered a Top 5 Jr Welterweight. He only moved up to #1 because the fighters above him either vacated or lost.
Still, he was #1 when Mayweather fought him and for the fights that were available to him in fairness Gatti was the highest ranked and one of the best available considering 140 was generally a weak division besides Cotto and Hatton who weren't available at that particular time.
But agree Gatti was well past it at that point been in many wars and no where near as good as Corrales.

But Corrales was definitely the better performance and win.Last edited by puga; 10-15-2011, 07:05 PM.
