    lets be fair Diego Corrales was a very good fighter but he was he was not an Elite fighter he had a questionable chin & Defence

    Floyd struggled with J L Castillo just aswell he has never faced a J C Chavez or a Prime Roberto Duran

      Exactly.

      Why do people try to pass Coralles off as an elite fighter?

      I know he died n' all but really, he wasn't that good.

        Yes Diego was a very good fighter whom Floyd took to the whooping shed.

        Why would you bring up Chavez and Duran? Might as well hold it against Floyd that he never fought Willie Pep.

          just trying to show how overated the kid is ,Burner thinks he is the best fighter ever

          Diego was a good solid fighter but he was not Elite ,PBF whipped him as badly as Oscar whipped Mayorga whats the big fuss

            Well nobody is making Diego out to be an all-timer, but he was very good.

              None of these sports are boxing. He is facing top level fighters. Why do people treat the measly **** like he is a greek god who shouldn't struggle with anyone he faces.

                Diego was elite, he proved this by beating the elite of his division. DUHHHHHHHHHHHH

                    there is no fuss............some of you guys here who criticize floyd are just plain phony.......and then when you compare floyd to the fighter you like, and check the resume of the fighter you like......you look like an ass..........floyd and chico were undefeated.........and someone had to lose.......now chico wasn't that good..........if you had the chance to speak to a room full of boxers, and you said what you said, they would laugh you out of the room.............for once, try to care about what you say..........i know this is the internet..........this is my day off......and i have to sift through the phony posts just to get to the post from knowledgable fans.............
