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

[Code Red]

Yeah try to rationalize with what happened 2 years later to the struggles that Chico had during the weigh-in. That makes sense..

U and your logic have a serious problem

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..

"He had 2 years to re-adjust his body down at a lower weight. Could be he was malnourished after his stint 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.

Chico said before the fight its not that bad as far as making weight, you just have to be disciplined. Looking weight drained and fighting weight drained are two different things. Chico kept trucking and was a step slower than Chico the whole night.

strange..he got out of jail and continued at 130..so what you mean 1 last time??

Describe the jail house meal and you'll see why he got accustomed to the weight.

lol...........

[Jack Napier]

aside from Castillo 1, take nothing from Floyd at lower weights
Chico was ok, just destroyed by Floyd, back when he had balls
this win can't be discredited

[sinmiedo]

Chico was badass but his style was set for a skilled, patient, and defensive fighter that may is.

It wasn't right before the damn fight lol, they showed it right before the damn fight. But, he wasn't actually eating it right before the damn fight.

Morales looked bloated at 135.. You could see it in his body that he was not ripped.. But yes, he was having problems making weight.. I am not dis*****g that.. But Corales was worse.

Corales was struggling to make weight as early as the Manfredi fight. If it wasnt for the 10M contract(which Floyd called as a slave contract) that HBO was offering to the winner of the Mayweather - Corales for the 130 lb fight, Corales would have move up in weight already.

He had already announced that he was moving up in weight, and in fact shortly beofr eht e fight there was a TV sit-down interview where this was brought up. Corrales said "well it isn't easy", and then said "they made e an offer I couldn't refuse".

At that time he was going to jail, was broke and his life was in a shambles. Mayweather's
Brains Trust" as they were called, figured that this was the time to get at him.

TK Stewart, the well known writer, emailed me about this fight, and particularly described the weigh-in. He said that ;

"Corrales looked very bad, his skin was grey, his bones were sticking out, and he almost had to be helped to the scales. He was still overweight although he'd spent the whole morning in the sweat box, and had had nothing to eat for weeks. Although he was the favourite, I knew right there that he had no chance".

Yes you are correct. The commentators were discussing how Castillo looked, and their conclusion was that he definitely could NOT make 130 but was flabby and slow at 135, it could be seen that he had not yet adjusted. One of these guys who falls between the cracks. I believe one of them also inrweviewed him.
