Is Floyd's best win tainted. Was Corrales really dehydrated and weak in the fight

    Is it not true that Pac was having problems making weight with Barrera (second fight) hours before their weigh-in??

    Is it not true that Top Rank enrolled Morales with Velocity to start a program to lose weight months before he started his actual training??

    You make it sound like I am making this up.

      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.
      That took place 2 years after.. It does not translate to anything.. Who cares.. He was drained in the fight when he fought Floyd. He was drained when he fought Manfredi, 4 months before that... You are telling me you making that assumption based on what happened 2 years after that.

        You didn't know TS? Only Mannys opponents come in weight drained and that's how Pac beats them. Floyd on the other hand beats these fighters with skill, regardless of the weight situation.

          Thing is, did Mayweather make Corrales shed off an extra 2 pounds, how about an extra 4 pounds?

            But, neither of those 2 were weight drained either.

            So I don't get your point?

            Corrales wasn't weight drained. It's obvious that mikemurni doesn't know what he's talking about. Somehow a fighter can be weight drained for 2 fights prior to going to jail. But, not be weight drained 3 years at the same weight. In what World does that make any sense?

            Neither Cotto nor Margarito were weight drained.

            The only 2 fighters that Pac beat that were weight drained was Oscar and more than likely Morales. That's it.

              Yes Corrales was drained making 130, and I really love Corrales the fighter and the person he was but I would be the first to admit he was a limited fighter with limited skills. He had a real good punch and a giant heart which is why I liked him so much. He was a carefully selected opponent for Mayweather.

                The only 2 fighters that Pac beat that were weight drained was Oscar and more than likely Morales. That's it.

                He walked up to the scale, and the fight was, in a sense, lost right there. For all his efforts in the steam bath that morning, shedding 8 pounds, he was still 132—two pounds overweight. He went back and ****** the 2 pounds off in time for the weigh-in. A day later, his body both starved and waterlogged from his ensuing rehydration, he entered the ring—146 pounds at fight time—and the results were a disaster.

                You see that he was 8 lbs overweight the day of the weigh in..

                Quote:

                “I didn’t really realize ’til the third or fourth round that everything was going bad,” said Corrales. “And I was cramping up. … My legs started cramping real good, and I’m going, ‘What’s the deal here?’”

                  No, and I've never said Margarito or Cotto were weight drained either. Just that, at the very least Mayweather didn't make Corrales shed off an extra 2 to 4 pounds.

One more time, and he’d be off to the 135-pound lightweights and living fat, never having to take off those terrible final pounds again.

                    So you see folks, the history of weight draining was started by Floyd himself as early as 2001, months before Pac even had his first fight in the states.
                    @FLOYD STARVED HIMSELF FOR 4 DAYS TO MAKE WEIGHT TO FIGHT CHAVEZ...pac fans clutching at straws AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. L M F A O, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.

                      What does that have to do with Corales being dehydrated..
