    #1 2010 Floyd Mayweather (40-0) vs Shane Mosley (46-5)

    The punch that shane threw which landed spot on, everyone thought it was game over, that punch was felt by Mayweather’s great great ancestors. When Floyd recovered from that I knew he has one of the best ever chins.

      Yea that was a tense moment. Probably the tensest one in Floyd's career. The fight wasn't THAT interesting really, but that 2nd round punch was.

          I'll be honest I think the last fight on a Cinco De Mayo weekend I actually cared about was Castillo-Corrales I. All those fights I watched but they weren't fights I really cared for. To me it's a whatever weekend. Just a regular weekend that there's fights on.

              Oops lol. My bad thanks for the correction.

              For some reason I was thinking that fight was in September when I was coming up with that list but didn't fact check it obviously.

                  I like it when casuals get into boxing for these random big fight weekends. Makes boxing feel as big as I think it should & could ideally be all year round if boxing was ran correctly & with the mindset of boxing first over all the bs & money.

                    Yeah if only say one fight a month had that attention it would be great. Too bad for the most part the Cinco De Mayo fights have been largely boring since Castillo-Corrales and that's probably part of the reason the casuals don't come back to watch other better fights.

                      When it place in the timeline, I am shocked at how bad the fight was!!
