    A weight drained fighter can't go to jail for a year. Then comeback and beat a damn good fighter in Casamayor at that same weight, 2 years after without being comfortable at that weight.
    When Corrales came out of gaol, he was very fat, but lost it quickly. He was going to take a fight at 147, then 140, but didn't. Had a couple of fights at around 135. I remember one of them was a guy named St' Kitts (?). He actually eventually got down to 128 1/2. I recall the report of it and it was said that he'd lost a lot of muscle in gaol, with no training etc.

      I guess he didnt think he was weight drain enough, Because if he did he wouldnt go on and fight more time at that same weight.

        how great of a fighter are you when your best win is diego corrales? a guy who is basically a borderline hall of famer? then your second best win is a 38 year old 1 year 5 month inactive shane mosley who almost KHTFO?

        floyd's resume is lacking when compared to other atgs.

          People often think there should be rematches of fights that were one sided and shouldn't have rematches.
          So to prove to everybody that the first victory was not a case of Corrales being drained, if nothing. And because Corrales asked for one. He was entitled to a rematch I think, dont you?

            No he wasnt, Again he fought for years after he lost that fight at 130, Again he was beaten and humilated for 10 rounds, again a fight like that DOESNT deserve a rematch, Yes a rematch to a close fight, a rematch to (Castillo-Mayweather type fights) but a one-sided beat down? Nah

              Re-post for this female or ****sexual. Has to be one or the other since those are the only people who are fans of Oscar De la Hoya.

              No it would have been a hoe move if Floyd gave somebody he dominated a rematch. You know that's something that Oscar would do, like when he gave a shot to **** JCC a rematch after dominating him.

              When Floyd won a very disputable decision he gave an immediate rematch to Castillo. That's what true warriors and champs do. Again not like Oscar, who has won 3 very disputable decisions and never gave Whitaker, Quartey, or Sturm a rematch. What a hoe that cross dressing **** is.

                Mosley is like 4th IMO. I rank the Castillo and Chicanito wins higher.

                    What? Errr it makes complete sense. If he had troubles making weight that terribly during the Mayweather fight he would've gained a hell a lot of weight after the fight considering he was inactive and in prison.. Again you're making a wild uneducated guess. Look at his post fight interview where Merchant asked if he was going to move up in weight... he was very doubtful and didn't suggest moving up - now if he had serious issues with the weight he would've said yes.

                    Corrales admitted he was outclassed by Mayweather fair and square why can't you? You know nothing about Corrales' body and weight, obviously 130 was his _OPTIMAL_ weight since he had a lot of success there not to mention beating Casamayor after a prison stint. Now stop talking out of your ass.
                    Where do you think Corales was during those 2 years.. in a country club. He was in prison.. Obviously he is not goin to gain weight. And will obviously lose some. In fact I wouldnt be surprise if he was malnourished.

                    But all of this is not important because all you have to do is know that he was shredding 8 lbs the day of the weigh in. Plus he was 132 even after going through rigorous process (on the day of the weigh in) tryin to cut the weight...

                    I dont need to make an uneducated guess because all I had stated was what happened the day of the weigh in. He was gaunt and totally out of it.
                    There was no uneducated guess because it happened.

                    What you are doing is making an uneducated guess when you are using his weight 2 years after when we all know it had nothing to do with what happened in the weigh in.

                      Corrales made a mistake in trying to tire out Floyd. He tired out Freitas, but Floyd was just too clever for him. Chico waited too long with mounting an offensive and was subsequently grinded down.
