Mayweather's performance against Corrales is one of the top 3 performances I've ever seen. Try hooked on phonics.
    Well if you're ONLY just worried about the former then the latter doesn't matter.

    Because, if the latter matters then yes you have to hold into account that version of Barrera was better than that version of Corrales.

      Both great wins for Pac and Floyd....but the difference is Barrera is an ATG, while Corrales was a good fighter/champ.

        No he didn't, it was a TKO, and Corrales was willing to carry on. In the Barrera fight you could see that he was relieved that the corner stopped it.

          its mostly because people think a win over Barrera in general is much better than a win over Corrales.

          domination wise Mayweather was better, but the 'more impressive win' is over Barrera since he was a better fighter.

            Or you could argue that the difference is Floyd looked much more impressive against Corrales than Pac did against MAB. It works both ways.

              it doesn't make a difference j,the point i was trying to make is everything is subjective and i used this example becuase depending on when the fights happen it makes some what of a difference just like many other things

                Impressive wins has to include who the opponent is whether you like it or not.

                If it's just sole performance, then I pick Floyd's dismantling of Reggie Sanders than Corrales. Who's that?

                  Barrera win is greater than the Corrales win, Floyds best performance was the Corrales fight but his best win is over Castillo IMO.

                    Yeah but Corrales was very highly regarded when Floyd fought him.

                      Or that Floyd's best wins were against nobodies or mediocre Champs versus Pac's successive dismantling of ATG.
