    Mayweather: -130 , corrales +110
    Floyd was actually a slight favorite. I looked into this the other day because I thought the same and someone told me otherwise and I didnt believe them haha . I mean at those odds iam sure there were some bookies with corrales as a slight favorite tho

        Corrales and gatti .

        Even tho gatti wasnt picked by anyone to win that fight floyd still showcased some phenomenal talent albeit vs limited defence or not . That was a masterful performance .

        As for the corrales fight .....**** . I dont even need to say why . I thought corrales was going to win that fight myself and floyd just dominated him . That version of floyd was next level , that's when it was confirmed this kid is gonna be great.

        As others have mentioned , although maybe not prime still floyd showed alot vs Shane mosely . He showed adversity , a great chin , and supreme versatility. He completely switched it up after he got hurt and started walking shane down and beating him up . I dont think shane win a round after that but I could be wrong ,its been a while Haha .

        Floyd is an all time great . I really wish he would have taken a few fights he had missed but hindsight is 20/20 and I appreciate floyd and his career . Its ****ing rare that fighters like him come around . Every decade or so if that .

              The Corrales fight was his most dominant fight against elite opponents IMO so I'd say he looked his best in there. To say his most complete fight, I dunno, he's a pretty complete fighter in any of his Pretty Boy Floyd era fights.

                  I'm tryin to tell you people. Mayweather/Chavez. Floyd had to pull EVERYTHING out to get Chavez off him.

                  If you want to see a fight where Floyd actually had to tap into his ENTIRE bag of tricks.

                  This fight right here is what told me that Manny Pacquiao had NO chance to beat this guy. None. Because Chavez was arguably the most impressive opponent Floyd ever had. Not Chino. Not Castillo.

                    Fight also proved Floyd can still win vs opponent throwing 100 punches per round

                    Remember the good old days when dummies thought 100/rd was the key to beating Floyd

                      actually that is hugely under-rated

                      hard to look past Corrales as the best win, but Canelo really was a masterclass performance

                      Gatti was a better performance, but Canelo is obviously on a different level so is likely a better win
