Name a fighter that would have beaten Mayweather the night he fought Corrales

Floyd would beat 7 shades of shi.t outta' Chavez...Randall made him quit....Floyd would make him shi.t. Chavez couldn't handle Pernell on the inside...Floyd is way stronger than Sweet Pea. Chavez needed the virgin of guadelupe....don king ....and richard steele just to beat featherfisted Meldrick Taylor. Mayweather is wayyy better than Meldrick Taylor...not faster...but far more efficient...smarter.....and tougher. Chavez already had 90 fights when he fought Randell he also won the 2nd fight and Ko'd Randell in the 3rd fight you see Randall wasn't on EPO for that 3rd fight

Diego Corrales was weight drained.

For my money Duran, Whitaker, maybe Mosley

Pernell Whitaker has the best shot. The southpaw stance, elusiveness, and at 135 had hands and feet just as fast as mayweather. Mayweather was slighly quicker hand and foot wise, also had a lil more pop in his shots. Mayweather would have to be the aggressor. He wouldnt have the experience he has now or even when he was at 140. He accomplished a lot at 130-135 but he wasnt in his prime yet, his physical prime, but not his cerebral ring iq prime which was 140-147. this would be a chess match that becomes a brawl because both will struggle to outbox the other, too many close rounds and the last half of the fight will be decided by physicality. Watch Whitaker vs Roger, Mayweather vs Hernandez....both usually fought good boxers. I just dont get why people think it would take a puncher or pressure fighter to beat him. Arguello is great but was slow of hand and foot and although he was a very good technician, he was trouble by movement and speed. An upstart Mancini gave him all he could handle, imagine a faster, quicker more accurate guy. Duran had a good shot but at 135 and lower he wasnt as polished as he was by the end of his reign when he was outgrowing it and moved to 147. Duran was rough and tough but he was a sucker for a straight right( floyds best punch) and susceptible to left hooks( which mayweather threw as a counter, a lead and in combination.) Duran was a great fighter but the style match up just favors floyd a lil more IMO. Pernell is the only one I have confidence that he would beat Mayweather but it wouldnt be a whitewash

You must be talking about Pedro Duran because Roberto Duran was an absolute monster at lightweight. He only lost to one dude and that lost was avenged by KO; Duran was 72-1 when he moved up to welterweight. He could think and adapt, he could box or slug, he could hurt you to the body and wasn't shy about throwing low blows either. People did not want to fight this guy . . . Duran was that serious problem that other fighters at 135 and under looked to avoid if they could . . . Mayweather would have avoided him like he was Kostya Tzsyu (and I love Floyd). Panama would be to faraway to fight.

did you ever think that maybe a big part of Floyd's performance on that night had something to do with Corrales's short comings? he was a warrior, but boxers were his big weakness, let alone a quick one

Theres no difference between canelo vs angulo and mayweather vs corrales. It's the same script just repackaged.

I can't speak about Robinson, but Duran would have suffered the same fate as he did against Sugar Ray Leonard in their second fight if he had fought Mayweather. Mayweather, at 130 had the same type of speed and power that Leonard had at 147. Duran would have gotten his a.ss scorched if he had stepped in the ring against Mayweather at 130.

Im a hypocrite because Im not going to let you talk to me any kind of way? Im still not going to belittle you as a man and say gay ish. I have dudes I debate with all the time on here and we keep it just like that. A debate. Its everyone's own opinon. All that extra stuff with the gay comments, or talking down to someone is straight ish. Thats why I dont like that dude JSFD26. He does childish kid ish like that. He's not the only one on here. Their are alot of keyboard warriors and dudes who just have that immature nature anyways. Keep it classy with me and I will with you. Either way, lay off the gay ish. Im a man and I hate it when people come at me sideways with that kinda talk I apologize. I was wrong. I was being a bully. I shouldn't have done that. I hate bullying also, and it makes me no better when I do it to others. My apologies for making you feel uncomfortable.

Gotta love the "Chico was drained" talk after all these years. Dude was so drained that he stayed at the weight for about 3 years after fighting Floyd there. :lol1::lol1:

Kostya Tszyu Joel Casamayor prime Shane Mosley prime Oscar de la Hoya (who beat Genero Hernandez before Floyd) prime lightweight Roberto Duran He was distracted by his upcoming prison sentence when he fought Floyd and wasn't himself that night. genaro hernandez lost to a much bigger oscar in a weight class he had never fought it. i really dont understand why ppl mention oscar beating him before like it takes credit away from a 21 y/o fighter fighting the best 130lber in the world and destroying him.

So you're flaming me for saying "Take his dick out of your mouth" at you... Yet in your second paragraph you resort to using ad hominems against me. Hmm... You're a f*cking hypocrite.

Kostya Tszyu Joel Casamayor prime Shane Mosley prime Oscar de la Hoya (who beat Genero Hernandez before Floyd) prime lightweight Roberto Duran He was distracted by his upcoming prison sentence when he fought Floyd and wasn't himself that night. Yep and i guess thats why Floyd looked average against Cotto too

Off topic. Tyson is so bad he misses the bag in that clip. You don't know **** about boxing, that last shot wasn't supposed to hit the bag, he just improvised and worked on his speed.

Corrales wasn't moving down in weight his last fight he weighed under the 130 lb limit. He was destroying everyone at 130 at the time and went on to win more titles at 130 after Floyd. Pretty decent for a drained fighter. exactly. going into that fight was probably the only time before and since that about 50% of ppl thought floyd would lose.

dude said in and around Jr WW. Welterweight is not in but it is AROUND 140... Same as Lightweight....it isn't IN 140 but it is AROUND.. He said Jr Lightweight but I did miss that so y answer does change. That said Mayweather wasn't as good at 135 as he was at 130. The Mayweather that fought Corrales is a 130 fighter.

was corralles weight drained? who knows. what i do know is a fighter being drained at a weight that they are a champion at and a weight they campaigned at for years is not a legit excuse for a loss. that **** is weak sauce. thats no1s fault but the fighter who didnt prepare properly.

People like to use SRL as a measuring stick to what Duran/Castillo would look like. The same can be said for Castillo/Mayweather I. SRL had more firepower than Floyd. Enough to make Duran think twice. If we are talking about a 100% focused Duran then that fight is close to a toss up. On relentlessness alone Duran would make it a fight.

1st off Im a man. Stop talkin to men like that. So many lil kids on here are quick to say gay ish anytime someone doesnt agree with them. "Take his dick out your mouth". Ooh, Im cool now. I can say anything on the internet. Clown, he fought Casamayor twice 3 years later at the same weight. Stop talking what your newbie ass doesnt know. Probably wasnt even watchng boxing back then So you're flaming me for saying "Take his dick out of your mouth" at you... Yet in your second paragraph you resort to using ad hominems against me. Hmm... You're a f*cking hypocrite.
