Castillo/Coralles was one hell of a fight, but that doesnt make them HOF material either. They were both good fighters but not great.

Originally posted by Michael Hall View Postthe corrales fight is what kind of put him on the map. don't get me wrong, hardcore fans knew of mayweather's talents long before the diego corrales fight. it was the way mayweather dominated a man that most thoght would ko him.
the other defining moment for mayweather was the jose castillo immediate rematch. i personally scored the first castillo fight 115-113 for mayweather. however, a large portion of boxing fans felt castillo won.
mayweather gave castillo an immediate rematch. he didn't wait until castillo lost to someone else, got older, or make any attempts to weight drain castillo.
that, imo, also defined floyd mayweather as a genuine champion.Originally posted by britton View Postgenaro hernandez

The more I think about it, the more I think it's the Mosley bout. Sure, you could make a case for Corrales or Castillo or even Hatton but I pick the Shane bout for a couple of reasons.
1. All of his critics never thought he'd fight Shane, from RA the Rugged Man down to Freddie Roach.
2. Even if they thought it was a minute possibility, they all expected him to either lose or run his way to a decision.
3. The reason they thought the first two things was, contrary to ******* opinion, Mosley was a legit threat; the best available opponent at welter, a future hall of famer and ranked high pound for pound.
Floyd's performance was brilliant and I think he showed everything anyone's asked for. That should count for something.

to bad he ducked his real defining fights when mosley,cotto,tszyu,were prime and still around. Those were the fights he should have taken when theyn were prime now he only has pac left, and look at the bs he is putting him through.
