Lol what?
Mayweather was a big favourite to win that fight and everybody pretty much expected him to.
He was a slight favourite not a big favourite.
Many thought Corrales would win.
Corales was the defining fight IMO....
That was a highly anticipated match up and nobody knew the outcome. There were no special treatments to give Floyd an advantage.......

He is not 'TBE' or anywhere even near it. You would have to be a complete spastic if you thought he was/is. Baldomir and running away from Manny with his ocean full of excuses define this arsehole's career to me. The bloke has done more to damage the sport than any fighter I can think of. Cant wait until he retires and takes his circus and all his racist, bumsniffing fanboys with him.
Hernendez=1st world title
Oscar=5th division title turned him into a huge star
Canelo=got him his 10th world title and 4th lineal title, and 1st unified title
Yet someone with accomplishments like that aren't ATG in your book. TBE favoritism.
Too many but I would probably go with the Mosley fight just due to the ridiculous "He ducking doe" dumbness that you read into around boxing these days.

That fight against Chico elevated his status as a world beater in the eyes of pure boxing fans but that fight against hoya elevated him to world boxing superstar status.
He's afraid of pacquiao doe.
genaro was shot, he lost to castillo, lost to oscar, and drained a green canelo...
These are all opinions son, again thats the thing. Floyd detractors ALWAYS rely on the opinions. It's the facts that make them sick to their stomach..
You guys need to understand that Floyd Mayweather Jr didn't start "calling thr shots" until 2007. Everything prior to that was Mr. Scumbag Arum on the steering wheel. Also, you guys need to take into consideration that Floyd Mayweather before 2007 was high risk, low reward for big stars such as a prime Mosley and De La Hoya. Floyd kept calling them out with no answers back, well Shane actually responded saying he had a messed up tooth or something along those lines..
Prime for Prime both Mosley/ODLH would had beaten Mayweather. ODLH wouldn't beat Pacquiao though while Mosley @ LW likely could..
As for Mosley being ranked #2, that was just an over-reaction due to beating Margarito.
yea,,,mosely was done well before then. marg was nothing without those loaded gloves as cotto showed in the rematch. I agree that a young dlh also would have beaten him with that jab. he gave him fits with it when he was well past it in there first fight
mosely was well past it when pbf fought him. I still feel strongly that a young prime mosely would have beaten pbf
but mosley was p4p #3 according to ring magazine. i mean an old guy who looked terrible for years then scores an upset clinchfest win is definitely one of the best fighters in boxing right?
Genaro Hernandez
Diego Corrales
Jose Luis Castillo x2
Oscar De La Hoya
Saul Alvarez
Those 5 right there are my fav Floyd performances. I know a lot of guys in here making it seem like Floyd's resume is "weak" but who is missing really? Antonio Margarito damn sure aint no HOF and he was just another slow come forward fighter. Sergio Martinez was just too big for Floyd i know u guys really want to see the man lose but cmon lol. You could make an argument that he should of fought Paul Williams but Floyd still fought Shane Mosley when Sugar was like the # 2 best welterweight in the world. The only one that's really missing on Floyd's HOF resume is Manny Pacquia. I really wish we get that fight sooner rather than later!

as much as I dislike mayweather I thought the corrales fight was his break through and most impressive performance. I really thought at the time that corrales was going to hurt and stop Floyd but he really did a number on coralles. that was an impressive win. as far as legacy defining win he doesn't have one
