    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.
    People forget that alot. Corrales wasnt even close to being 100% in that fight. He was in jail, in the months leading up to the fight. He said it was the worst part of his life with the jail time and personal problems.

      I would say Hernandez, considering how early it was in Mayweather's career and the fact that Hernandez had only lost to DLH and that was at 135.

        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.
        Here is Floyd's best wins at 130 IMO:
        1. Corrales
        2. G. Hernandez
        3. Chavez
        4. Manfredy
        5. C. Hernandez

          Wrong... Corrales went to jail after the Mayweather fight.

            Corrales didn't go to jail until after the Mayweather fight.

            Corrales was pretty active leading up to that fight, part of the reason why he had moved ahead of Mayweather in the Ring's junior lightweight and p4p ratings before their fight.

              I was always impressed by the goyo vargas fight at 130 too.

              "This is the second time Floyd has switched to southpaw"
              "Third time."

                JoeyBB was also the alt of Azteca.
                I honestly don't believe they are/were the same person. Smokin' was a **** to me, regardless of what we were talking about, whether it be boxing or not. Azteca was always a pretty cool dude.

                    I had an alt while I was banned, trust me. Being a **** on your alt is pretty fun but once you get back to your username you can go back to normal.
