    I guess he fought Jesus Chavez again, not Diego Corrales.

    Big name, low risk.
    Cherrypicking as usual.

    Here are some questions:

    What year was Floyd first #1 P4P, and who did he beat?

    Of course it is... Probably not an intentional joke, but a joke non-the-less

    And most of the responses are jokes too

    I believe he first became universally recoginized as p4p #1 after he beat Gatti in 2005. Hopkins was number 1 and lost to Taylor a few months after the Gatti fight. After that loss, Mayweather was elevated to the number 1 spot.

    That's such idiotic bull****. Where the hell do you get your "facts" from?

    I think most people realized that Diego Corrales was a huge underdog long before this fight started. Go look up the betting odds for it if you don't believe me.

    lol "DumbOldBoy". Mayweather was ranked no. 7 pfp at the time of the fight and Diego was ranked no. 5 by Ring Magazine. Do some homework before you post next time.

    Hype Magazine.... who cares?

    Diego Corrales +110
    Floyd Mayweather Jr. -130

    It was painfully obvious to me that Diego Corrales had 0 chance to beat Mayweather, he had everything working against him for that fight.
