    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.
    no one thought mayweather would beat corales? revising history sounds fun. can you revise history so floyd didn't duck anyone and guys like phillip ndou and henry bruseles were the top challengers of his time.

      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.
      Dude, no way on all accounts. You give Shane more credit for a VERY tough first fight with a shot Vargas, and a KO over a completely shot Vargas than Floyd's win over a plenty game Oscar? That's crazy to me, but we're just gonna have to agree to disagree.

      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?

        Bullcrap for all the obvious reasons I'm sure you won't acknowledge. Also, Jake LaMotta fought SRR 6 times. Does he have the greatest resume of all time in your opinion?

          My man....expert predictions were split about 50/50 for that fight.

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

            Yes he was a slam dunk stylewise admittedly in hindsight. there's no way you can't think that corrales wasn't tailor made for floyd after seeing hoew their careers panned out.

            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

                Lets be clear Tito ruined Vargas.

                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.

                      why are you telling me this tell that fool that said no one thought mayweather would win. lots of people thought he would win but he's trying to lie to make mayweather look better.
