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

[Oregonian]

How about he got his bluff called and backed out because he was fighting a guy who was hard to hit, could hit him back, and it was a 50 50 chance of getting a real L.

Ryan Garcia told us he was fight Pitbull Cruz just a month ago. He then goes to fight someone else.

He sure ducked Pitbull. Amiright?

Let's see past prime Oscar lost a close split to Mayweather. Mayweather's pops actually thought Oscar won.

Mayweather retired to welch on the rematch which was to be a year later, so the same past prime Oscar cherrypicked Manny Pacquiao who moved up two divisions to beat the brakes off Oscar to a stoppage, and send him into retirement

The official Floyd Boy excuse for Oscar is he was drained, despite Oscar admitting to alcohol and possibly substance abuse during training

——-
So Oscar had alcohol and substance abuse when fighting PAC but he was fine and dandy when got beat by Floyd.
It’s understandable that you think Floyd fans are silly but the logic behind you guys justifying that multiple trash fights that your hero has been involved in, is out of this world.
Some of you truly believe PAC never lost.

When I mention Morales, I get “PAC destroyed him in the rematch”
When I mention Marquez, I get “Lucky punch”.
When I mention Ugas, I get “PAC had a calf injury”
Whenbi mention Floyd, I get “Floyd refused to allow PAC to take shots on his rotator calf” and “Floyd ran the whole fight”.
When I mention Bradley and Horn, I get “PAC was robbed”.
When I mention his KO losses, I get “PAC was young and green”
When I tell them Floyd fighting an exhibition fight against a kickboxer, I get “PAC will NEVER do that”. And then he fights a Japanese kickboxer and Korean YouTuber. And they justify it by saying “why not? He’s earned the right to do that”.

When PAC farts, they tell everyone that it doesn’t smell bad at all.

So that means Floyd couldn't fight a legit welterweight?

Cotto Margarito Williams was calling him out, and all he heard was a lightweight

Brian Kenny called him out on it

Would you like me to send you a link where Bob Arum states he will never allow Cotto to fight Floyd? I mean you can look it up but I can do that for you.
Did you forget that Williams got beat by Carlos Quintana in Feb of 2008? Why didn’t PAC fight him?

Margarito the cheat. Supposedly he offered Floyd $8 million to fight him. Let’s dissect that logic, shall we? Margarito’s biggest paycheck was vs Cotto. It was $3 million but somehow he was going to pay Floyd $8 million.
I know people in crack that make more sense.

If you look closely, you can see Pac trying to choke him out !
Pure loser move

HORN (CPGW) > Pac puts everything into perspective

Pac would never ever look in Winky's direction
Unless Winky weighed 140 lbs
"Yes. Me chase greatness."

Corrales was looking to move up to 135 permanently around this time. Though looking at his record he came back down again to 130 for casamayor which i didnt remember that he moved back down after this fight. The weight cut left him pretty lethargic and floyd could see this.


Floyd had a guy in front of him that he had zero respect for their ability to land anything on him. It is a lot like his fight with Gatti though Diego was much higher ranked. Those fights showed floyds true athleticism and offensive capability when he chosed to be less concerned with defense and take more risk. These fights we seen him throwing leaping left hooks like a roy jones. Normally he will not leave himself open like that but he had the speed and explosiveness to pull it off if he wanted to

There were some other fights where commentary play by play guy called a floyd punch a leaping left hook but those were a lot closer in range compact punches, not far from out of range distance closing punches like what i call a leaping left hook. basically they were less risky and more his normal style.

I answered the question.

Floyd and Manny beat the same past prime Oscar.

Prime undefeated Cotto called out Floyd after he beat Shane and Floyd beat Hatton, but Floyd went on a 2 year vacation to avoid Cotto, Williams, Margarito, etc. and emerged after all those guys beat each other up while he cherrypicked a lightweight who never fought 147. When Brian Kenny called Floyd out on this Floyd got hostile and defensive

It's a fact that Floyd was offered 8 million for Margarito which he backed out and backed out of the Winky Wright fight last minute.

Floyd has more excuses for his ducks, swerves, and cherrypicks than any boxer past or present. Every time the truth is presented Floyd boys want to change the subject to Manny Pacquiao.
