Corralles was a good fighter but tailor made he was slow as mollasses. What slick african american fighter did mayweather beat who was in his prime with a run like danny? A guy who was taller, bigger, just as fast, good amateur pedigree, and one punch knockout power.
Did mayweather ever face a guy in his prime like Jacobs?

I am tempted to say Diego Corrales but Corrales was just so ****ed up before the fight with all the court, divorce, etc. etc. he was a dead man before the fight, nowhere near the focus of Jacobs beating GGG. I would also say Zab Judah, but he just didn't have the discipline. -
You could say judah. Although I don't think zab was in his prime anymore after the kosta ko. Corralles was much slower and destroyed by the weight cut.I am tempted to say Diego Corrales but Corrales was just so ****ed up before the fight with all the court, divorce, etc. etc. he was a dead man before the fight, nowhere near the focus of Jacobs beating GGG.

Judah was relatively young when he fought Floyd. Twenty eight I believe. So he was still in his prime, but was coming off a loss against a bum in baldomir.Comment

Castillo
Chico
Judah
Ortrees

All had ko power and in Chico and Judah both had speed wait not sure abouthe Chico speedComment

Corrales was taller, bigger and KO power.
Judah was just as fast if not faster, just couldn't match ring IQ.
but there was no one fighter during his era that had all those qualities.. taller, bigger, just as fast and one punch KO power.
the closest one was Paul Williams. it's a shame him and Floyd never clashed.Comment
