    What Corrales did to Freitas is what he had wanted to do to Floyd but Floyd was just that much more superior.

      and mayweather is a stamina freak. ur not gonna make this guy gas himself out. Freitas has good stamina as well, but not good enought to dance the entire fight.

        Tell me this though, If Corrales ever caught Floyd do you think It could have been Mayweather getting up off the canvas.

          was it the first time in his career that freitas was dropped? that would really hurt your pride. And i do think he was ready to be knocked out.

            Yeah Mayweather can run around for hours on end and still not get tired. If he is going to face Spinks at Light Middleweight though he is going to get tired.

              IMO, yes. Had Corrales been able to land anything significant and clean Mayweather probably would have been on his ass too. Too bad it's almost near impossible to hit Floyd with anything flush.

                Mayweather has never fealt power like corrales's. Had corrales landed a couple powerpunches in a row and had a better gameplan corrales could have come out on top simply because we dont know if mayweather has a good chin. Any pro can eat a good power punch...

                  Corrales was just walking straight at floyd, not even throwing a jab or try to set up is punch. He cant' expect to land a good punch like that. And yes, it would have been nice if he tested floyd's chin.

                    Corrales punchs like a Heavyweight and can take shots like one., so does Jose Luis Castillo thats why both of them can trade huge shots in their first fight. George Foreman while commentating that fight said that Corrales should cut the ring off and nail him. but Corrales did something you should never do with speed guys and that is to chase them.

                      I'm not sure what the Vegas odds were at the time but I know that many people heavily favored Corrales to upset FLoyd. I was one of them, when I saw Corrales beat down like that I was like holy ****!
                      Floyd is that good !

                      Corrales problem in that fight was that he was just relying on the one big punch.
