    Pac was still a better win even despite his age imo.

    Corrales is probably a slightly better win, evens if we are being generous (i only know the big names on DC's resume, as i wasnt a hardcore fan of the sport until later on), though the standard of performance was worlds apart. Floyd completely dismantled Corrales where Ward arguably (and imo did in a close fight) lose to Kovalev.

      Mayweather is a punk, Ward is a chump. Ward knows he didn't deserve the Killa Kov win, so does Mayweather. Ward also knows that in a rematch, he won't make it to round 6.

        I did say "all controversy aside". Saying "yea but Ward lost to Kovalev" holds no water. Your opinion means nothing, the manner of the win doesn't matter. Many people think Floyd lost to Castillo but the win from the first fight still stands.

        Also, Hatton "iron-chinned"? Really? Worst eyes for cuts in the business and almost knocked out by Collazo and Laszcano before getting in with Mayweather.

          A close win that could've gone either way? Pretty sure he does. Kovalev is also getting overrated a bit.

            Hatton almost got ko'd by Collazo? I certainky don't remember that. The Lazcano fight was also after the Floyd fight, so I don't know what you're getting at there.

              No. Floyd's resume is often criticized. You can't criticise kov.
              Its a debateable win though.

                An official win, in this manner, doesn't mean much though.

                A clear win, that would be a difficult one. But the win wasn't clear.

                Its easy to hide behind an official decision, but its an excuse not to think

                  How can PAC be a better win when PAC is smaller than Floyd.? Don't even hgave to mention PAC wasn't far removed from being koed by jmm and wasn't the same.

                  Historically corrales just isn't that good.

                    Changing the goal posts with 'all controversy aside' makes it a pointless exercise though, as its a fantasy situation

                    With Castillo, Floyd has the rematch. The first one was controversial (debatable as to who won), but it was settled in the rematch. Hopefully the same happens with Ward/Kovalev.
