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.
    Look son, you really don't know anything. Mayweather had a group that the boxing writers always referred to as his "Brains Trust". I'm sure you never heard of this. They decided what was what, at least for many years of his career. They slipped up a few times , like against Augustus, and Castillo. He didn't care about a 2 mth. actually 6 week holiday. He knew that he deserved a much longer sentence, and many times before they finally decided to jail him.

    Corrales actually cared very much about his family, and knew he behaved badly, but he had a lot of provocation that he hadn't revealed, but was going to, in an appeal, A friend I had was very close to the Corrales family, and was at their home 3-4 times a week, a publisher of a Las Vegas Boxing Journal. He told me all about the couple. Then all of a sudden, Corrales, desolate at losing his home and family, said "to hell with it" and didn't appeal. You better believe it. Everything I've written about the whole thing is absolutely true 100%. One day there'll be a movie of his life, or a biography and then you'll know what I'm talking about. Essentially he was a good kid who hadn't quite grown up.

    Mayweather cared about nobody hut himself. A psychotic narcissist.

    Now go away and stop bothering me with your silly exculpations of the inexcusable. I was boxing, and studying tactics and absorbing strategies before you were born.

      You couldn't win an argument about boxing so you turned psychologist lol. Get lost with the pseudo psychological b.s. you just tried.
      So Corrales got mollywhopped because he "felt bad" about abusing his wife but Floyd remained undefeated because he didn't feel bad?
      Is that now your reasoning?

        Your semi-illiterate and simplistic answer avoidance shows your limits. Thank goodness I won't have any more of your rubbishy excuses and ignorant pugnacious twaddle.

          You haven't responded with a single answer to any of my questions. I don't even think you are semi-literate. You're just plain illiterate.

          Oh and using big words doesn't make you intelligent
