actually corrales fought twice at 130 within 6-8 months of fighting mayweather.When I read your post, above, I was sure you were referring to Mayweather.........because you took the words right out from my keyboard. Most of the guys that manny fought and beat over the past few years, were in their prime, dominant champions like Cotto and Hatton, and really not worn down by either too many hard fights or excessive weight drainage.
mayweather, on the contrary, has made an art out of picking guys on their way down, or never any good, or with some other glaring flaw. He ALWAYS, wants, needs, and gets, a specific edge.
NOTHING could point this up more than the infamous Corrales "fight" where the poor guy, demented by debt, legar burdens, family disintegration, and looming prison, was in the middle of a downward life spiral, when, on top of all the foregoing, was tempted and enticed to fight at 130 lbs- a weight he'd found impossible to achieve, and had abandoned 6-8 months before.
The poor guy was dying on his feet, well noted and documented by several writers, one in particular who noted especially that ........"he made a few trips to the scales, and had to be helped away. His bones were sticking out all over, his skin was grey, and he could barely walk. I knew, then and there, that even though he was the favorite to win, he had no chance". I'm paraphrasing only slightly. It was a well known fact amongst the buys in the business, like Larry Merchant, who commented on it, and stated, in astonishment, that on passing Corrales' dressing room, just before the fight, had seen him "sitting there, stuffing a huge hamburger into his mouth".....
I was keenly awaiting the result of this fight, and was horrified at the spectacle. I've never forgotten it, nor the way in which Gary Shaw treated his supposed, prized fighter.

Its hard to tell just how good the Mosley PBF fought was. It could be that age caught up with him in that fight, we will have to wait and see how he peforms against Mora.
The 1st Castillo fight doesnt mean much as PBF was injured. The rematch happened and that proved who the better fighter was.
I give credit to Pacquiao for being competitive with JMM but he lost both fights in my opinion.Comment

First step should be fighting someone which is -35 years old and we all know his last 4 of 5 opponents were 35+ years old !Comment
