Is Floyd's best win tainted. Was Corrales really dehydrated and weak in the fight

[ADP02]

For Corrales, it meant making the dreaded 130-pound limit one last time; one final episode of long days with only a g****fruit to eat, of jogging in rubber suits and of endless steam baths to get down to the limit. One more time, and he’d be off to the 135-pound lightweights and living fat, never having to take off those terrible final pounds again.

He walked up to the scale, and the fight was, in a sense, lost right there. For all his efforts in the steam bath that morning, shedding 8 pounds, he was still 132--two pounds overweight. He went back and ****** the 2 pounds off in time for the weigh-in. A day later, his body both starved and waterlogged from his ensuing rehydration, he entered the ring--146 pounds at fight time--and the results were a disaster.

Hey Mike, I just got back..... I left you alone to fend from the wolves..... well, I responded in the other thread as well...... as I stated, Corrales was weight drained and showed them the proof too.

Funny how they are ready to discredit Manny vs Morales but then its different story for Floyd vs Corrales. Double standards at its best!

I think you're very wrong about that. His treacle-slow reactions, and puff-ball punches, showed there was a lot wrong with him in the fight. that wasn't Corrales the killer in that fight, that was a completely drained and long starved skeleton, trying to earn money to pay lawyers. T.K.Stewart, who often writes for Boxingscene wrote an article, in which he said that at the weigh-in when he saw Corrales, bones sticking out everywhere, grey complexion, and barely able to stand, he didn't need to know that he still had a couple of lbs to take off, to be convinced, there and then, that he had NO CHANCE. This even though Corrales was fancied to win, slightly more than Mayweather.

Larry Merchant tells the story that just before the fight, he passed Corrales' dressing room, and there he was, stuffing himself with a huge hamburger sandwich.........

I DON'T know, why boxing fans, even though they have been told the above MANY times, still seem to remain in ignorance of the true facts of the Corrales-Mayweather fight. it was a genuine mockery of the fight game. An d, as iexamined the circumstances, what I found out, sickened me.

Until then, I had disliked Corrales intensely, thinking he was nothing more than a bully.

Thanks Edgarg for helping put some truth to the matter. In another thread they tried to discredit Manny vs Morales due to Morales being weight drained so Mike and I told them that using that logic then Floyd vs Corrales should also be discredited. ...... naturally they didn't believe Corrales was weight drained but we know the truth. ...... Again it was their logic but it backfired on them.

Losing 10 pounds in one day will take a big toll on any fighter. Corrales was dehydrated during the fight and looks like a cancer patient that just came back from chemo during the fight.

Diego was drained/going to jail/flu.. fight was tainted.

Dude Corralles fought at 130 years after he fought Floyd.

/thread

Imdazed already ****d you in my thread now you come in here butt naked trying to make one last stand?

Cmon man.

Ceiling, you need to do some reading before you respond like that. I put the final word in your thread and if you read this one as well, carefully, you would finally realize that you are totally wrong in your assumptions.

Own up man! Is it that hard?

[DAN916]

He already was at 135 so he had to come back down 130 which was hard and the fight was 2 weeks before he had to turn himself in!!

So... Corrales kept fighting at 130 after he got out of jail. Being in jail, and not intensely training doesn't keep you at a weight class.

So... I guess that means that the loss should be blamed on Corrales for not training to his full potential, like the one he showed when he beat Casamayor in the rematch.

Is anyone going to crush Chambers's victory over Peter because Peter didn't bother to be in prime fighting condition? Kthanks.

Morales fought Pac 3 times at that weight. It's the same situation. Both Corrales and Morales were big men and had a very hard time coming down to 130. Especially since their natural weight was so much higher. That is, these 2 were not walking around at 130-135 when they aren't training.

After the Floyd fight, Corrales only other time to come down to 130 was the Casamayor fights. Here, it was a chance for his first title since coming out of jail. This doesn't include their 3rd fight where Corrales couldn't make the weight at 135.

Still the point was that for the Floyd fight, even his trainer said he learnt from those mistakes they made with Corrales. They admit that Corrales didn't want to fight at 130 anymore because it was taking a toll on him. If they admit it, I think it's time you all admit it too. Corrales had problems when he entered the ring with Floyd. Actually he had many...... flu, weight, prison.
