The "Myth" that Corrales was some monster before he fought Floyd

[Khalid X]

I'm sitting here stuck..... if u don't understand it why not research it?
Corrales was a beast period, no matter the opponent. The hype came from what he had done and what he could possably do to Floyd.
Floyd waxed him, he went on to do great things which tells u rite there that he was no joke.

I'm not saying ur hating but if u know the def it sounds like it. Floyd woulda waxed him even after the hype "was" warranted. Just leave it at that

there is no research that needs to be done, because I was watching boxing a lot back then. I never understood it even at that point because it was all based off of how he looked against Manfredy. I knew even then Manfredy wasn't all that great, so I was never impressed with that win. Again, this isn't to take away from Corrales, because he had a great career afterwards.

Manfredy went south when he changed his nickname from El Diablo and turned into a born again Christian.

After that, his career was ****.

That is not true stop making stuff up.

Why do you always do that? What he said is basically true, I dont know about his coach. You never told me the ring ratings for April 2007 140lbs, you know them right off your head im assuming.

If you were not activelly following boxing back then, you cant honestly say you know what you are talking about. I my self thought Corrales was going to beat Floyd. I saw him upset Roberto Garcia on Tysons undercard. I saw his fights against Brown, Gainer, and Manfredy live on HBO and no matter what you say every one thought Corrales was dangerous. Corrales was the Marcos Maidana back then, you cant just boxrec fighters and assume ****. Just because you didnt see any belts on Manfredys boxrec does not mean he was not a formidable opponent. Go look at Miachael Katsidis's boxrec.

again I watched all of those fights and I disagree.

Gainer was a guy people were hyping up to face Hamed (my fav. fighter back then) but had about as much discipline as Zab Judah currently has. Manfredy (I guy who I followed and actually liked a lot back then) was not very good. Now I like Manfredy because I know his life story and I'm glad he fount happiness, but as far as his boxing career....I just gotta call it like I see it.

naah that was the best thing that ever happened to him. He was a messed up dude, and I'm glad he changed his life for the better. I still remember him falling down in tears after he beat Julio Diaz. That was one of the most touching moments I have ever seen in boxing.

FWIW, he was never really good. He is from the same mold as a Rocky Jaurez, Luis Collazo etc. Decent fighter who loses every time they step up against world class opposition.

Corrales was tall and had a 10-15 lbs weight advantage, but got beat like a rag doll against lil' Floyd. Mayweather was actually the betting underdog for that fight. He answered the critics and that's probably Floyd most exciting performance.

Because of that fight, guys like me criticize Floyd because we know what he can do. Can't take this win away from Floyd. People have already taken too much credit away from him.

putting on so much weight is not always an advantage. it's not so simple as good or bad. it makes you stronger and able to take a punch better perhaps but it also makes you slower, less agile, and effects your stamina. even pea-brain floyd understands this so why don't his fans?

Corrales did not have a longer reach then Floyd. And, he is saying he did. Is he not making it up?

Great win by Floyd not once have I said anything negative about that fight. But, don't say something which is not true.

Do we understand each other now Zarco?

Every single person on ESB and BS.COM have been watching boxing since they were 3 years old...

What ever man, just know that Corrales was the Marcos Maidana back then. 10 years from now there will be a kid just like you talking about how Marcos Maidana was no threat to Timothy Bradley because he only beat Ortiz who never won a championship, Victor Cayo who was not very good, and lost a controversial close decision to Kotelnik who was never really any one.
