My grades on Mayweather opponents

i would say Jesus Chavez was at least a B ... even though he was highly unknown and underrated at the time.Comment

Floyd isn't nearly as overrated as Manny.
He has yet to beat JMM convincingly...then he fought the SORRIEST mofo available at 135..not to mention a poorly trained DLH.
Next up for Manny is yet another Mayweather leftover..Hatton.Comment

the problem is that some people are convinced that Castillo was robbed.
IMO I could see that the fight could go to Castillo because there are many rounds that could have gone either side but I a going with Mayweather a narrow win.
Corrales is much better than Castillo, I think in the Mayweather fight he fought the wrong fight and didnt pressure Mayweather like he did at the round before he was stopped. He was only stalking without punching that didnt help at all.Comment

I agree with your thoughts on the Mayweather - Castillo fight. I think over time close decisions get spun into robberies.the problem is that some people are convinced that Castillo was robbed.

I don't agree with you saying Corrales is much better than Castillo though. I personally believe Castillo was the better fighter, but I can live with calling them equal.Comment

What admirable about Corrales is that he fought some fighter there fight and won them on there own game.I agree with your thoughts on the Mayweather - Castillo fight. I think over time close decisions get spun into robberies.

Example Castillo wins which he brawled and left hooked a hooker he basicly out brawl a brawler. Freitas he out punched a puncher. Casamayor he out boxer a boxer.
That fight against Mayweather was one of the worst fight he ever fought and it puts a mark on his career. Sometimes in boxing just one night will determine you career.Comment

I completely agree on Corrales, he was the one that made Castillo-Corrales the great fight that it was. However, I don't think he out brawled and out hooked Castillo. That fight was about as even as it gets, and you could even say Castillo out brawled/hooked Corrales moreso. He probably would've finished Corrales off too had Chico not lost his mouth piece twice. I don't want to take anything away from Corrales though. Either way Corrales and Castillo are both great fighters.What admirable about Corrales is that he fought some fighter there fight and won them on there own game.

It's funny how Mayweather is good for 5 categories (and expected to fight the biggest welterweights too) while Hatton is good for 1 lol and is expected to never leave it. Still props to Hatton for taking hard fights since he lost his 0.Comment
