why was Corrales soooo weak against Mayweather?

[Thread Stealer]

He wasted all his energy beating up his pregnant baby momma.

lol.

i dunno about chico being so weight drained. maybe he was but he made 130 for another 3 years so it wasn't like he outgrew the division.

chico just had a terrible game plan and mayweather took full advantages of his weaknesses. very rarely has any one fighter's weaknesses fell so much into another's strengths as mayweather-corrales.

it was more of a style mismatch than a class mismatch. corrales and castillo are around the same class/caliber of fighter. floyd struggled with one and "looked like willie pep with power" against another. just a style thing.

thing is Diego was used to things 1 way, a brawl, he wasn't used to a brilliant Boxer/Puncher (he was a puncher in that weight class), he may have gone as far as under estimating Mayweather because it was Floyd's step up in competition, Diego had all the physical skills to beat Floyd but in terms of in-ring ability which is what it really boiled down to Mayweather had him in every way, his punches were faster and had more impact because Mayweather was stepping in with his punchesto increase the damage, Chico was being hit more than what he had ever been hit in ways and in places he hasn't felt before, of course he's been hit worse afterwards but at that time in his undefeated days Chico had ran threw just about everyone he faced with little to no problems, against Mayweather it took more than what Chico had to offer that night, he was hit with too much adversity and he couldn't do nothing but resort to his Knock you out style which didn't work on the elusive Mayweather, Floyd would almost land at will at one point, Chico just wasn't ready mentally for the fight but he wasn't weak, thrown off maybe but weak? nope.. 100

Corrales couldn't handle the side to side movement. He should of used his jab more too. That's exhibit A of why you cant just be a brawler/pressure fighter to beat Floyd. You have to have actual boxing skill behind it.

He got hit a ton of times before he went down... I don't even know if he was that weak, he never really connected with a significant punch.

Simple...

If you watch the fight over and over till the cows come home, you will conclude that Floyd, in one of his best performances ever, completely befuddled Diego, who just couldn't figure Floyd out that night.

Floyd rained left hooks, jabs, and lead right hands on Diego while fighting going backwards at times.

And when Diego hesitated, Floyd launched another assault.

All this while Diego was the champion, and at the top of his undefeated career.

Nuff said.

Damn some people will say and do anything to discredit PBF.

I love Diego, but he was never on Floyds level. He came into that fight undefeated and actually the favorite (if I remember right) but when the fight started Floyd just out classed him. Nobody expected that one sided of a beating and Diego was probably in shock.

when people make excuses for corales in that fight, that just means they are just finding a way to take the victory away from floyd. floyd dominated and thats it. corales spent 5 more years at lightweight and his weight seemed fine until the begining of this year when he had to move to welterweight. at the end of the day, floyd still dominated, and he is still a 5 division world champ.

do me a favor, DO NOT carry that SOHH/allhiphop.com mentality by using the word "STAN" please please please, post whatever you like, but please dont make "stan" a trend on here also

wtf is a "stan" ??

It's not Quantum Physics.

Diego Corrales was never anywhere near Floyd Mayweather's level. One was an exciting, hard punching B+ or A- fighter who was being severely overrated........against an A+++++ boxer/ defensive specialist.
