      Trinidad was either #1 or 2 pound for pound and had just demolished Joppy for the WBA belt. Joppy was a respected long reigning champion and Tito was reigning fighter of the year. Can't really use what he did post retirement into context of his standing at that time. Tito had a lot of hard fights, nearly 3 years out and left pieces of himself in the ring with Hopkins and Vargas. Also, FYI the Jones fight was in the light heavyweight division after yet another 3 year hiatus.

      Tito's wins over Joppy and even Mayorga are more impressive than anything on Corrales' 130 ledger.

      Tito was also a 4-1 favorite over Hopkins so surely if you are going to point out that Floyd-Chico was a pick'em fight then this fact must be raised, no?
      What is that you said about p4p? LMFAO!! I just gave his record for context, obviously I am not counting fights after he fought Bhop to judge the Bhop fight.

      Context! He had 1 win at MW, against Joppy, who is about the same level as Manfredy, who Corrales defeated.

      Trinidad wasn't a great MW, yet you consider it a great win. That is gerrymandering.

        Hopkins vs De la Hoya/Pavlik/Tarver/Pascal II - Except for Oscar, consider his age.
        Mosely vs Margarito - No one really saw this coming.
        Marquez vs Pacquiao IV - No one saw this ending coming.
        Martinez vs Williams II - Another shocking ending. And he said he would get a KO!
        Mayweather vs Alvarez - This fight will be judged accordingly in the future
        Morales vs Pacquiao I - A great performance from Morales.
        Garcia vs Matthysse - The Matthysse fans made this one special.
        Pacquiao vs Cotto - One of his best performance.
        Maidana vs Broner - Just for the hell of it.
        Joshua vs Klitschko - One of the best fights in a long while.
        Ward vs Kovalev II - Almost forgot this one.

        I'm considering everything! A win is a win!
        some real good ones there that people either underrate or dont want to acknowledge

        its funny you mention floyd/canelo...thats prob one most dont wanna recognize....but i agree...i think you are right that in due time history will look back on that one and give floyd more credit than hes gotten so far

        its funny tho...the same guys that want to give floyd basically 0 credit for that desperately want davis to fight loma.....strange huh?

          Trinidad had been on such mythical lists since 1994 and in the top 5's and was rightfully considered one of the top 2-3 boxers in the whole world by just about everybody whereas Corrales got overrated and put into the Ring's list after beating Manfredy.

            You are being extremely hypocritical. You are picking and choosing p4p status when it suits your argument. You can't have it both ways.

            My point remains-no matter how great a fighter Tito was, he was not a great MW. Joppy had no significant wins before he fought Tito. Cherifi had lost to Joppy and was a journeyman at best. Mayorga was coming up from 154 when Tito beat him.

            It is beyond unreasonable for you to call Bhop's win over him great given the context, and then say that Floyd beating Corrales is not.

                I am aware he hates Floyd and that is what is driving his opinion.
