I just gave you the real reason he "dominated" him. And...yes he DID win fights after he came out of prison against no-hopers at first.. But he was a junior middle, and took off a lot of weight and fought welter and after 4-5 fights back down to 130. He had lost most of his muscle in prison and with that bad diet,. so he could actually make the weight...for a few fights. Then he went up again. to light, had 4 fights then welter...finishing with a loss to Clotty. (in his 4rd fight against Casamayor for the light title he was 5 lbs overweight and couldn't take it off so it was cancelled.)

The guy had weight problems for about 3 years before prison, and they seemed to continue through his career. Nobody's fault, it happens.

Read what the highly respected author and boxing writer T.K. Stewart had to say about Corrales and the weigh-in for the Mayweather disgrace. He was there... Amongst other things, he wrote,, ON BOXINGSCENE.... "as soon as I saw him, skin grey, ribs sticking out all over, being helped to walk, leaning on the arm of a friend, I knew he had no chance.".... and MORE...!!

So shut op and don't bother me any more.

No, what you're doing is nit picking just so you can weasel your way into taking credit away from Mayweather. It seems you don't even know that other fighters have struggled to make weight in the past and still got the job done while others did not.
Sugar Ray Leonard once said Tommy Hearns looked like a dead man on the scale before their first fight. He knew well beforehand that Hearns was struggling to make 147 pounds. Do you suddenly take credit away from Ray because Hearns had weight issues? I'm guessing not.

Your decision making is being purely driven by hate because if you knew ANYTHING about boxing history you will know that Corrales is far from the first fighter to ever have weight cutting issues.

Lopez beating Lomachenko, clearly, he was a big underdog in that fight.

Yes Leonard took advantage so it was not a fair fight. Never mind the PR. And Leonard made Duran fight the return only when he knew that Duran was about 60 lbs overweight and had been partying like crazy for months. And when he fought Hagler, he secretly had a spy in Hagler's camp, rehearsed a serious fight secretly, and knew that Hagler had had a very tough fight with John Mugabi in his last fight, which took a lot out pf him, THEN he made the Hagler fight.

Look what a scoundrely thing he did with Donny LaLonde, made him come down to 168 with his light-heavy title on the line too. He was another dead man walking. after a few rounds, actually a better fighter than Leonard, but with no chance when drained to bone and skin.

Mayweather had a corpse, and would never have fought him without that advantage. Do you suddenly become blind to the fact that he NEVER fights anyone without already having a winning advantage. You know this well, because it has been amply pursued. I was objecting purely on the grounds of SPORTSMANSHIP, which with the proven facts make that certainly NOT a "fight" to be considered for the question asked. That's all.

Corrales was much MORE than struggling wth weight, he was a man with his life in a shambles, cared about nothing, ruined, desolate. He was going to jail immediately after the fight with no home to come back to, and only took it, in his rotten circumstances because of the money. It is burned into my brain that, in a video interview of about 15 minutes, BEFORE the fight, he was asked why he took the fight when he could no longer make the weight. He llike a badly beaten dog, and said... "they made me an offer I couldn't refuse"...

So no more of that nonsense talk.. You don't seem to realise that there is so much more to boxing that the fight. that's only the tip of the iceberg. I look into EVERYTHING before making a judgement. I liked Mayweather before that, but AFTER,....to me he was no more than any other crooked gangster. Actually worse, because he "dedicated" the fight to all battered married women, a jab at an already beaten Corrales...and shortly after he was accused and proven himself , that he was a woman batterer, and eventually after getting off many times, went to jail himself. Nothing but a "dirty dog".

I am a sportsman, always fought sportingly never took an unfair advantage. You should look up Young Stribling to see how a fighter should be, or Benny Leonard.

You say Mayweather took advantage of Corrales by fighting him when his life was in shambles and he was going to jail. Well, didn't Cotto fight Mayweather when Floyd was in the same circumstance? Floyd was fighting Cotto one month before he was going to jail and STILL got the job done so stop using the "going to jail excuse for Corrales." Calling Floyd names like dirty dig just confirms that you're coming from a place of hate.

You say Floyd never fights anyone without an advantage? Floyd was significantly smaller than Corrales, had less pro experience, and was coming in as an underdog. How is that having an advantage?

Floyd fought Oscar completely under Oscar's rules. Oscar chose the weight class they would fight, he chose the ring size, chose the ref and chose the gloves. And Floyd STILL beat him. Oscar literally had every advantage over Floyd except for age.

You seem to be holding him to a double standard that you don't hold other fighters to.

Freddie Roach said he chose for Manny to fight Oscar because he knew Oscar would have trouble making 145 pounds, which he did. Do you take credit away from Manny Pacquiao for that win? I don't think so.

You're extremely biased and seem to expect Floyd to only take a fight if he's in a no win situation.

[real raw]

JMM in his first fight vs Pacquiao. Marquez was down three time in the first round and fought his was back to a draw. Truly a display of superb boxing skill.
