    Who said Corrales wasn't a monster at jr. lightweight?

    You seem to forget Carlos Hernandez gave him a good fight too. Though its been Mainly the Mexicans who have made close fights with Mayweather.

    Goyo Vargas, gets very little credit for his effort when he fought Mayweather.

      I actually never seen that fight, so I mispoke. I actually agree with you as well since Mexicans have generally ran the lighter weight classes, with Floyd being an exception..

        Honestly, i dont' think he would of ko'd either of them. Most times when Floyd had someone challenge him he boxed away. One guy you mentioned i know he wouldn't ko is Marquez, he has a great chin and when he was a counter puncher he was one patient guy and would counter punch anything Mayweather had to offer. I would love to have seen this fight, Mayweather being the bigger fighter would win but on points i would just like to see how Mayweather would match up with someone as good him in boxing, counter punching though i think Marquez counter punchs in combos.

        And Mayweather didn't ko the jr. featherweight in Goyo Vargas.

          I see Pac man being the easiest for Mayweather to fold being that he's so open all the time..

            He'd do what Marquez did but for 12 rounds. Mayweather wouldn't take him lightly and win handedly or tko him late in the fight. Morales toyed with Pac in there first fight, Mayweather would do the same.

                I notice in between rounds Floyd mentioned that his shorts were too heavy due to the water, yet he now fights with leather trunks...but anyways, during the pep fight he asked one of his cornermen to grab his other shorts?...did he think he could change between rounds or something?...wtf?

                  LOL! Maybe this is an insight just how much Mayweather would drain himself to make weight. There were rumors before he left for lightweight that he was having problems makeing weight for 130.

                    In the corner after round 2.

                    Floyd Jr: "Get my other shorts. Get my other shorts. They is in the back room."
                    Floyd Sr: "What wrong with your shorts?"
                    Floyd Jr: "They gettin' heavy daddy."

                    My favorite quote ever. Did he think he would be able to change trunks in the middle of a fight?
                    ..
                    On a more serious note, this performance is Floyd's Magnum Opus.

                    Mayweather v Pep is the best Mayweather to ever step in the ring.

                      No, that version of Mayweather would belong to the night he fought Corrales.
