    So because Ali couldnt knock out Ken Norton or Mac Foster how the hell would he KO George Foreman? :rofl Nice logic.


    Floyd KO'd Corrales. Please point to who did a similar deed in Corrales prime.

    Corrales wasnt quite as Durable as Marquez, Morales or Barerra imo, and although he was a very good fighter he didnt have the skillset of those three either.

    I think certain posters here at ESB would like to think Erik Morales would do very well against Mayweather, but I struggle to understand how anyone could come to that conclusion after watching the man's career. Perhaps it's just because Morales is everyone's favourite?

    True story. I mean, not only did Jones knock Barrera out, but so did Juan Manuel Marquez, Manny Pacquiao, and Erik Morales himself. Oh...wait.

    The 130-140 version would probably stop Barrera, Morales maybe, and JMM maybe.

    The "more pop" only makes sense when he was fighting smaller guys in lower divisions and he could hurt them better. As he moves up and fights bigger guys his power is less effective. But that would make no sense with Marquez, at 147 he hit Marquez harder than he would have at 130. Especially since Marquez hadn't even properly adjusted to 147.

    Just like right now Manny is gonna hit Marquez harder than ever.

    He already dragged Marquez two divisions up and all he did was drop him once. He was hitting him too with kitchen table and sink. If you think that the 126 version of gayweather hits harder than the 146 version, im out of here.

    So, it is unlikely he is going to stop the other two.

    And please, stop putting corrales and Castillo in the same sentence as man, em, or jmm.

    It might help that Pac has much more power than Floyd and he landed everything he threw on Barrera. Barrera wasn't even sparked out. I doubt Floyd would knock any of them out. Especially Morales.

    My apologies. I don't think he'd spark them out. I think it'd be stoppages.
