For me it has to be vs Juan Manuel Marquez, Floyd was coming back off a 1 year lay off, so you'd think he'd be rusty, but he was sensational. At times JMM was like 2 inches away from Floyd, but he still couldn't hit him, wizardry stuff from TBE. If you watch the vid below you'll see it, [YT]JnlX8RouG0c[/YT]
Floyd's best performance period was his fight against Corrales. I'd say since his comeback his best performance was his fight against Canelo. He looked good against JMM, but as Zim indicated he cheated the scales and pulled JMM up two weight classes giving him no time to adjust to the new weight so it's tough to give him much credit there.
I'd say Corrales or Gatti, performance wise. Canelo was his latest. I'm nitpicking but hear me out because we're almost on the same page. 1) Marquez voluntarily left his weight class so I'd hardly say "pulled", he wasn't forced by any means. That's on Marquez. 2) Mayweather cheated the scales, add to the fact that Marquez was dumb enough to jump 2 weight classes, and Mayweather loses credit for this match.
1. Corrales 2. Chavez (2001) 3. Mosley 4. Judah 5. Augustus 6. Ndou 7. Canelo 8. ODLH 9. Pac 10. JLC II
It's a weight drained Corrales, no question about it. Still not a bad win, I guess. The Marquez fight was a farce.
I love his Hernandez win. He was being aggressive, fighting on the inside with Hernandez and right when he breaks his hands, he straight up outboxes him; switching from southpaw to orthodox. Completely change of style and game plan and still puts on a class. The dude is incredible. His Gatti win is one of my favorites too.
That was a good one. Genaro did a hellava thing giving Floyd a shot. He didn't have too.. PBF looked amazing in the Gatti fight but Arturo just wasn't competitive enough to make my list...
