    But Corrales was not at his best.

    He wasn't focused because he was waiting to be sentenced for beating up and injuring his wife.

      Hatton was prime and elite, former wba ww champion and was 140 lineal champ and undefeated when they fought

      Corrales was in his prime and elite, not Floyds problem if the fighter struggled or not making weight. He still did a jail stint and went back to 130. won titles after at 130 and 135

      Jose Luis Castillo was in his prime and elite....was the best lightweight of the 2000s 2 time lightweight champion

      why you reaching bro?

        Hatton was from a smaller weight division and Joe Cortez protected Floyd in that fight.

        Castillo beat Floyd and was robbed.

          sounds like excuses to me....they were elite when he fought them and their prime.....Castillo 1 was close number 2 not so much, either way he still beat those 2 fighters who were elite. If you believe Castillo was robbed the first fight cool, did he get robbed in fight 2?


          Why are you reaching man? How was Hatton smaller when Floyd turned pro at 130 and only had like 7 total fights over 135 when he and Hatton fought.....Hatton walked around at 170+ is an inch shorter but thicker boned and stockier....Hatton was shorter, not smaller

            Hatton was smaller, Floyd was thicker boned an an all-round bigger man. Hatton got fat between fights from drinking too much beer.

            Floyd grew into a BIG welterweight. Let's not forget he couldn't even make the catchweight for his fight with the much smaller Juan Manuel Marquez.

                Floyd has been in the same position, and no one made excuses for him, and he still went out and won his fight.

                  Different situation.

                  Floyd beat up many girlfriends, but unlike Corrales he was never married.

                  Unlike Diego, Floyd had no remorse over anything he did.

                    Corrales was weight drained to hell. It's well documented.

                      Lol how can Floyd ever get the credit he is due lol lol. Corrales wasn't at his best because Corrales felt remorse over a beating? Didn't Floyd's best friend kill himself whilst on Facetime to eachother before the Pac fight? Lol.

                      Accept it dude lol its just boxing
