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

"Only" 20+ L's !!!!!

I wonder how many of those L's came from guys with a pulse
100+ W's era !!!!!!
When stat padding originated

Find some drunk, put gloves on him and send him out to lose.
"Here's your $5. See you next week."

I watched Corrales every time out, because he was an exciting fighter. However, despite his considerable skills, he often chose not to use them. It was viewed as a great win for Mayweather at the time. Since then? Corrales was a guy who was fortunate to get into the HOF, mainly because of the Castillo war. Yes, he has a win over Freitas. He went 1-2 vs Casamayor. He's kind of an Arturo Gatti level guy. He was never going to beat Mayweather.

Corrales was much better than Gatti. At one time he was number five on the pound for pound list. That's not Gatti level.

[joseph5620]

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

That's a lie. Corrales fought at that same weight for almost 3 more years and he won another title there.

[joseph5620]

So if you say Corrales drain level on a scale of 1 -10 vs Floyd was 4, it really was about a 7 because you are an excuse laden Floyd boy

Corrales fought at 130 for almost 3 more years after the Mayweather fight and he won another title there. So that lie and excuse won't work.

I sent you a list of the top ten P4P guys at 140 which was the weight Floyd moved to in 2005 and asked you to pick the guy Floyd should have fought. Instead of responding to that, you pull another rabbit out of your many deflection tactics by saying Floyd should have SKIPPED 140, 147 and 154 to go fight Winky at 160 Ibs.

?

First off, all of this is in hindsight

Second, you asked who did Floyd cherrypick and in hindsight yes Gatti was cherrypicked to make Floyd look good, and establish him as a ppv fighter as all of you used as your primary excuse, er, reason.

Guys like Oscar, Ali, even Srl, didn't have to cherrypick the worst fighter to make a name for themselves or to put asses in the seats.

Now you go as far as to list fighters who Floyd should have fought other than a badly faded Gatti, when obviously the answer is, the best competition, and obviously Arturo Gatti, was not it.

Winky Wright was brought up because when he was at 140 he called out Wright, (who was the guy at 154 not 160), went into negotiations with him, then backed out.

Floyd showed a consistent pattern of cherrypicking soft comp to boost his ppv, backing out of fights, and disappearing from the scene when tough comp emerges.

Bruh, you are so blinded by hate that I don’t even know if there is any conversation to have. All you keep doing is pushing for people to prove something to you and when they do, you come up with a new argument or shift your goal posts.

What did you prove you didn't prove Gatti wasn't a cherrypick.

If anything you proved my point by saying a badly faded Gatti helped establish Mayweather as a ppv star by volunteering to be his punching bag

"Floyd fighting Gatti was his first PPV event and biggest paycheck."

Those are your words right?

I am not avoiding anything

The thread topic is Mayweather

It was going to digress to his cherrypicking by default

You are LITERALLY avoiding the question you fat idiot How could you possibly say you're not?

You said;

That doesn't make Mosley prime.

Please don't leave out the part where you say Mosley was 38, dropped 2 a piece to Forrest and Wright, lost a brutal one to Cotto.

What does that have to do with Mosley being 38 with 5 losses

You have made a claim there, that Mosley was "shopworn" and not a good win because he was 38 with 5 losses.

To which I have directly responded with;

Yet Evander Holyfield was 41, 2-2-2 in his last 6, had 6 losses, even had to temporarily retire 7 years prior due to heart problems, yet you deem that "solid" and a "good win"?

How do you reconcile that?


Are you going to answer it? Or continue to avoid it?

You are going to have to make your mind up on this one. You have two options.

Either Mosley was a good win despite the reasons you've claimed it's not.

Or,

Evander Holyfield was "shopworn and not a good win" in 2003.

Which one are you going to choose? You can't have both.

Nobody gives Floyd Mayweather credit for waiting his entire career to fight a 38 year old 5 loss shopworn Shane Mosley, and those facts are all that is needed.

OK so as you've just stated again Mayweather doesn't get credit for fighting a 38 year old Mosley with 5 loss's. Ok, that's fine.

So Evander Holyfield was 41 years old, 2-2-2 in his last 6, had 6 losses, even had to temporarily retire 7 years prior due to heart problems.

Would someone get credit for that win?
