Corrales was a slam dunk for floyd style wise. He never turned out to be more than a slugger. Vernon was all the way wrong for Shane, yet shane still fought him and had worthy efforts. Winky was is and always will be a pfp better fighter than castillo and corralles will ever be.
Floyd gets ,imi,a; credit for that win. I think Shne's wins over Vargas are more impressive than Floyd's win over an oscar that went life and death with forbes right after.
So you give Shane credit for taking fights that, styles wise, were tougher? Corrales was held in just as high regard as Forrest at the time Floyd beat him, but Floyd gets credit taken away cause it was a good style matchup? Come on, that's bull****.
Winky's probably better than both, but Shane lost to him twice, the first fight was pretty one sided too.
Shane was ****** for taking those fights, Winky was supposed to be a tuneup fight for Trinidad. Sorry, but I don't praise Shane for that. Corrales and Castillo were the highest rated fighters in their respective divisions when Floyd fought them....what more did you want from him at that point?

I was shocked as well, trust me, but I was proven wrong.

You know that Oscar beat Vargas right?
He also did not go life and death Forbes man...lol. He arguably shut him out. That fight was also a year later at 150 Pounds.
I think I do know that burner, but you are so shortsighted that you can't comprehend matchups. Oscar outclassed Vargas waaaaaaay before he fought floyd, like 5-6 years before. shane beat vargas' ass at a weight that he wasn't all that good at a few years before floyd finally cornered dela.
delahoya struggled with steve freaking forbes and you can't tell me otyherwise. i saw it with my own two eyes

So in hindsight was Cotto, Hatton, oscar and Diaz all tailor made for Pacquiao? Just wondering if this logic applies for all fighters or just Floyd.
ODH was at 150 Pounds a year after he lost to Floyd.
