coralles landed in single digits in every round against floyd, who put on a masterpiece-----and that is the best example of sweet science-----also, watch floyd vs tony pep and justin jukko for more examples-----damn near flawless performances----there's none better when it comes to sweet science----

ANY pernell whitaker fight in his prime... Hes the definition of sweet science..

15y ago

Pac vs Marquez II my thoughts exactly, KO Power unbelievable speed and phisically gifted fighter being delt the time of his life with a fighter with unbelievable timing and great counter punching abilities

Raheem / Morales

B-Hop v Pavlic gets my vote... B-Hop was masterful that night...

As boring as people say the fight with Baldomir was, Floyd put on a textbook performance. Victory was without flaw.
