Floyd's resume against major names is flawed

[lparm]

Corrales never fought at 140...while Floyd has shown he can win at that weight

Yes he did and you're wrong.

I'll edit this Corrales fought above ww so I guess you're right he never officially had a jr ww fight but he sure as **** fought above lw.

[-EX-]

So Corrales being about 6 feet and weighing 130 is normal? I want to make sure you agree that such a low weight was natural for a guy his size. And if he didn't have weight problems why did he later fail to make weight at 135? I don't believe the it was his age argument if you look at Hop he made 160 in his 40s.

Ali Funeka is 6'1 and fights at 135...

Tommy Hearns is over 6'0 and fought at 147 for years...

He struggled making weight at 135...4 years after he fought Floyd at 130...

Who did he fight at 140?

Your right he fought Castillo and got knocked out in 4...Corrales didn't do **** above 135...

Diego still made 135 for that fight, he failed to make 135 for the Casamayor fight and got beat in a rather lackluster fight. I would not call either of those 140 pound fights though as they were both against recognized 135 pounders.

Chico did not do **** over 135 however.

He got older and his body probably didn't aloow him after a certain amount of time to make the weight the same thing that happened to nate cambell.It happens when it happens maybe later or sooner for others.

Are you saying he never fought above 135 or he did badly when he fought above 135?

I am saying he never came into a fight trying to weigh the JWW limit so it is different, the only fight he did above the weight was against Clottey and got clobbered.

Trying to fight at 140 and failing to make weight at 135 are not the same thing.

But failing to make weight indictates weight problems right? So forcing himself to 135 for the 2nd Castillo fight might indicate he was weight drained. By the same token if he couldn't easily make 135 isn't it plausible that he forced himself down to 130 to have the advantage of size over those guys?

Sounds like a personal problem not Floyd's...no one forced Corrales to stay at 130

And he didn't struggle making 135 until 4 years later...
