    Really, who at 130 that Floyd beat can match up to that?

    haha yeah Corrales was a beast...
    Manfredy I've always thought was overrated. That's one win I bet Floyd sometimes forgets even happened. I think Mandredy put more preparation into his ****** entrance (complete with mask & angel wings) than planning on how to not get stopped in the 2nd round due to lack of offense.

      Do you remember when people use to discredit that win claiming that Corrales was weight drained and couldn't make weight anymore. Seriously no joke, people said this.

      (Hints for some ****** people: Corrales vs Casamayor 1 and 2 was at 130)

        Corrales didn't fight at lightweight until very late in his career. He was, however, planning on moving up to lightweight before the Floyd bout.

        I do think that time in prison would not help you keep your weight, so, it does appear that he didn't have TOO much trouble making 130...

        I have also heard that the win isn't that good because he had too many personal distractions, what with beating the **** out of his pregnant wife, and having to go to court to plead guilty.

          Personally I feel that's the best Floyd I have ever seen. He was a BEAST and his right hand lead was so fast I had to replay the vid to see exactly when he threw it.

            Damn, with Dios back, this is kind of like a reunion of sorts.

            Where are Easton, Wiley and Azteca though?

              Let's just say we came out victorious in that 3-on-3.

                Wiley lost his interesting. When he posts now it's not even good. Maybe because he was the one preaching that he would give Mayweather full credit if he beat Hatton and then like 2 weeks like he didn't.

                Easton was a bit of a twat, didn't like him that much. I didn't mind Azteca/Smokin' though so he can come back.

                    Well apperently they were "twins", but yeah they were. Smokin' was just smokin' because he wanted to act like more of a ****, but when he wanted to talk about boxing (in which he still acted like a bit of a ****) he would switch to Azteca.

                    JoeyBB was also the alt of Azteca.

                      I would rank Manfredy under Hernandez and Chavez though. While Manfredy was good, he never ended up winning a world title. Just a good contender that never got there.
                      At 130, would you favor Chavez or Angel?

                      I liked Floyd's performance in that fight because at the slightest bit of 'hurt' from manfredy, Floyd went straight hunter and basically forced the ref to stop it.
