    Jesus Chavez. Best Mayweather you will witness.

        Diego Coralles was supposed to be a close fight. Total annailation complete beat down. Made to look like a guy out of the stands.

          - -I'd say when he was choking Maidana in fight 2 before running squallin' to his Crack Daddy while El Confuso Bayliss reads Maidana the riot act.

              It’s interesting that of your favourite mayweather fights, he faced opponents who were a no hoper(gatti), a guy who had beaten nobody(ndou), a guy coming up in weight(hatton), 2 cw fights(Marquez/canelo) one of which he cheated on the scales, and a guy who was old and out of the ring for over a year(Mosley). To each his own on what fights are you favourite, but these are the types of opponents you’ve been very critical of other fighters over.
