Who Has The Better Resume?

[RimmyDelicious]

who was greater at the time? barrera or corales?

The Barrera win was greater, but I don't say that to trash the Corrales win which was spectacular as well.

[infamous larryx]

1-Corrales was going to prison and drained
2-Hatton was fighting above his optimum weight
3-Oscar was old and shot
4-Mosley was 38 turning 39
5-JMM was 20 pounds over weight and old

I can go on and on if you'd like

but if oscar was old and shot when floyd fought him..what was he when manny fought him??

[Spray_resistant]

ok..lets compare(but you listed mab 2 times second fight shouldnt be listed)
1-floyd fought the better hatton
2-floyd fought the better oscar
3-mab1-good win-best on his resume
4-morales 2-shouldnt be there he was coming off of a terrible loss to raheem and was drained at 130
5-clottey-coming off of a loss to cotto but ok
6-larios-moved up 2 divisions but ok
7-sasakul-dont know the guy so i cant comment


so how is his resume better than floyds??

You have to take in account the circumstances under which a fighter beats a common opponent of another fight. Pac's Hatton win >>> Floyd's because 1. Pac was going up in weight to fight Hatton at his natural weight class 2. he beat him in much more impressive fashion than Floyd did 3. Floyd beat Hatton at WW not his best weight class and where he has looked not good at before that fight.

Come on Larry, its like trying to use JMM as a measuring stick for who is better.....the circumstances are important.

YOU are the one who said Oscar was "drained" or whatever when Pac fought him, YOU are the one trying to put asterisks next to Manny's wins. I am only pointing out that the same can be done with Floyd's resume.

Manny's resume is superior, not light years, but clearly a better resume.

why was it greater???corrales was undefeated and a bigger puncher plus he was damn near 6 feet

naw floyd beat an undefeated hatton and mentally ruined him..manny fought a shell of hatton..2 trainers later

Larios won a title after that fight with Pac.

ok, maybe larios got a lil confident cuz he faced the number 2 p4p at the time and the first couple rounds with him and pac were pretty good....(same thing happened to amir khan lol)

but regardless, whether he won a title or not, that was a pacquiao tune up bout for morales 3....and the ledwaba knock out put pac on the american scene...

i remember merchant saying something like "we gotta see more of this kid!!!"...then he always brought exciting fights, nonstop action...the rest is history as they say

[fireman_ek50]

naw floyd beat an undefeated hatton and mentally ruined him..manny fought a shell of hatton..2 trainers later

regardless of what YOU think, manny's win on hatton was up there because he faced him at his prime weight...

u said it urself in floyd's top wins - "hatton lineal lww champ"...

hatton was a powerhouse at jr welterweight...

u bring up undefeated, but dude was undefeated there..he ruled THAT division for years and years...pac just put it on him...

dude said "shell of hatton" lol...u box? cuz hatton was outboxing the boxer against malinaggi b4 pac...he looked great in that fight

[guru]

i dont think theres any question manny has the better resume... just like theres no question floyd is the more skilled overall boxer... anyone who argues against those two statements is just being dumb....

Because Barrera was better than Castillo, P4P.
