Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather vs. Diego Corrales: revisiting Pretty Boy's best outing

[Oregonian]

Floyd was a beast in this fight. Against pac he was ***** cat

——-
And PAC was a püssý cat against Marquez, Morales, Horn, Bradley, Sangsurat, Torrecampo and Ugas.
Notbto mention the many dubious catchweight delights we got from him.

Corrales was weight drained at 130 and recovering from bronchitis. Floyd’s best win.

——-
So why take the fight if he was “weight drained” and had “bronchitis”?
PAC also had a “rotator cuff injury” when he lost to Floyd and a “calf muscle injury” when he lost to Ugas.

David Haye had a “toe injury” when he lost to Wladimir and Nonito had a “shoulder injury” when he lost to Rigondeux.
Spence was also “weight drained” when he got beat up by Bud.
The list goes on

So out of 50 fights, which ones did he cherry pick?

PAC also said he was going for a KO against many nondescript guys but he didn’t KO them.
How many times have we heard fighters saying the are going for a KO and then fall short?

Corrales wasn't there mentally or physically. He had legal problems and weight problems. He was very flat in the ring, marching forward with no jab, no feints, no head movement. He didn't have the energy, the hunger, or the passion. Because of this, you can't say it was Floyd's best performance, because that was just a shell of the best version of Corrales. Having said that, Floyd would've always beat Corrales because he was flat footed and heavy on his front foot. For a taller guy, he didn't really use his jab nearly enough. He basically gave his height and reach away because mentally, he just wanted to go to war. So someone who boxed in a circle and had a good jab and knew how to tie him up in close, was kryptonite for Diego. Not just any old boxer was going to whip Corrales though. He was a man's man, he was mean and fearless in the ring
I think Floyd's best fight was vs.Emmanuel Burton (Augustus), just because of the high skill level involved on both sides

Walk up to Manny P & tell him, slowly, loudly & clearly that he got beaten by a puzikat.

Then stand your ground & don't run away.

Just like Manny Oscar, only Corrales wasnt quite that badly drained but he was weight effected maybe the Manny Cotto level is closer as Oscar was dead man walking, and like Manny Floyd looked so destructive when a guy in front has issues, great win on paper and Floyd was sharp as a tack.

Augustus wasnt skilled he why just unorthodox weird and thats why he posed so many problems, if I had to pick Floyds best boxing Id say Cotto and Canelo really showcased the IQ Floyd has.
