    Mosley hurt in the 2nd badly. Corley hurt him twice. Once with a left that buckled his legs but for some reason Corley did not attack him. Then he hurt him again at the start of the next round.

    In the Cotto fight, either the 5th or 6th round towards the beginning of the round, Cotto came in with a odd left hook and I think he hurt Floyd. His legs buckled but he played it off well. If you don't look for it, you won't see it. But he was hurt for a second.

      probably the best vid u can find of Floyds chin gettin checced. Goes thru his whole career basically. Funny thing is Sharmba Mitchell is like the only person to catch floyd with a CLLLLEAAAN 1,2 before floyd could get that high guard up lol

        I'm gonna go back (shocking for the internet!): Corley > SSM

        I've never seen the Augustus fight (just one of those that i never got around to).
        I've never seen any boxer enjoy fighting like Augustus did. You should watch that fight, as I do about 3-4 times a year. Mayweather had always said that this was his toughest fight...even though Augustus had a record of about 20-15 or worse. He's another lost champion, for want of good management and trainers. Never a dull moment with him. If he'd had any sort of heavy punch he's probably have stopped Mayweather somewhere in that fight. It was "hammer-and-tongs" all the way and Mayweather really was pushed to fight and took more punches in that fight than any other, at least unitl recently. They were fighting at lightweight and Augustus, although a 130 lber used to move un and down between that and 140 and would fight at a few days notice. Often got jobbed..

            Always loved watching Augustus, I remember around 2006 he had a documentary crew following him and would continue to do so until he won a world title.

            That never happened but wonder what happened to the documentary footage, would love to see it.
