Who is Floyd Jrs greatest win vs?

[-PBP-]

Diego Corrales is Floyd's best win, but Shane Mosley and a lot of other people say Corrales had to lose 30 pounds in 2 weeks before the fight, he wasn't healthy, he was drained, so how good is the Corrales win really?

He won a title at SFW 3 years later.

Drained fighters, partime fighters, fighters off layoffs..
Anyone flat out prime in beast mode

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Corrales may be limited but he was effective, especially at that time. He was knocking out everybody.

I can understand why he was P4P. Maybe not as high as #5 but still, he was doing well at the time.

true but in 2000-01 i would say the list should have looked like this

roy jones
lennox
oscar
shane
tito
barrera
morales
prince
hopkins
tszyu

Just off the top of my head....

but yes corrales was a beast at 130... i think he was 32-0 with 30 ko's going into the floyd fight...

You calling Shane Mosley a liar? If Corrales was drained and had to lose 30 pounds in 2 weeks how good is that win?

If you genuinely believe Corrales was 160 lbs 2 weeks prior to that fight then I don't know what to tell you.

I'd doubt he was even close to 160 lbs before his camp started.

When people have trouble making weight they move up. They don't stay at the weight and win world titles.

If you want to discredit the win talk about his legal issues.

[Rocky_Balboa89]

IMHO, his victory over Marquez... it was flawless... comin back out of retirement and putting on such a performance, incredible job! Marquez was #2 P4P at the time, lost a SD to pacquiao and won two knock out victories over Casamayor and Diaz before facing Floyd.... i honestly don't know where to rank him in ''all-time'' since i haven't seen that much fights of his.

Why would Shane Mosley lie?

Corrales was certainly not having an easy time making 130 at that time and he actually missed the weight and had to return to the scale an hour later to make 130.

But he wasn't dead at the weight evidently.

And he certainly didn't lose 30 lbs in 2 weeks which is of course physically impossible.
