why was Corrales soooo weak against Mayweather?

[Thread Stealer]

wtf is a "stan" ??

FROM THE EMINEM SONG.

OBSESSED FAN.

dude just didnt seem like himself. he looked spent and tired. i know floyd's a fast dude so dont give me any of this "floyd is so good he makes everyone he fights look slow and weak" bull**** you PBF stans are gonna post.

same reason Casamayor beat corrales and freitas gave him hell for 7 rounds.

Corrales never dealt with movement well. The castillo fights were abberations because Catillo would stand in and fight.


Corrales has never been more than an infighter.


watch the fight closely and see how corrales just couldn't let his hands go. thats because Floyd never stopped moving the entire fight. Unable to set, Corrales just couldn't let his punches go!


It was more a case of Corrales being one dimensional than Mayweather being great!

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Different talent level. Corrales couldn't handle a guy with the speed of Mayweather. He was used to fighting straight ahead guys taht gave him the same things. Mayweather was brilliant that night and wouldn't let Corrales establish any rythym.

Agreed.

If you look at the Freitas fight, Chico looked the exact same as he did vs. Mayweather. The difference is that he was slowly-but-surely getting to PoPo, and all he got for his trouble whenever he caught up to Floyd was a left hook to the chin, and then some fresh air to swing at.

Chico's style is just tailor made for PBF: a slower stalker with low activity rate and iffy defense. What more could he ask for.

The rematch at 135 or 140 would be even worse.

mayweather's just outclassed him, corrales couldn't hang.. there's no excuses, floyd's just better

I actually think Floyd's win over Corrales was one of his greatest wins. It's one of the few Floyd wins that lives up to the hype. Oscar was his greatest win, but Corrales was his most real win, if you can see the difference. IMO

I would also add the Judah fight to that. Because the advantages that Floyd typically brings into the ring were offset by Zab's strengths. So FMJ demonstrated tactical superiority.

I maintain that was the best Zab Judah we've ever seen.

You can maintain that, but I disagree. I've seen much better Zab. He was never the same after Tszyu shook his brain loose from its connective tissues.

[Ranger2408]

I participated in an online interview with chico,on another website, he said he would win the rematch.
When asked what he would do differently, he said he "would have used the jab".

moot point, chico would never have beaten him.

OK, I'll take the bait.
In which fight was Zab "much better" than he was in the Mayweather fight?

All major fights before and up to the moment of the Tszyu knockout. I like Zab. You may not believe it but I have always respected his balls. He will not dodge anybody. So I've seen him and after Tszyu he lost his mental confidence. It was a very hard loss at that time in Judah's career. One great right hand shot, Judah went from superstar to scrutinized. He just never was able to cope. IMO
