    Floyd destroyed undefeated Corrales -
    Manny smashed up Margacheato? -

    Nice excuse though I guess it only applies to little Mikey and big bad Spence the gigantic bully.

    Corrales started at 130 like Floyd did l. Not a good example. Maybe Floyd and Baldimor is a better example.

    Every boxer at sometime was 130. Corrales had the reach and height. I guess thats my point. But lets put Floyd aside what about Manny and Margacheato? A massive difference.

    You're ignoring the fact that Mayweather and paquiao once in generation fighters blessed with certain attributes which allowed them to move through the weights.

    Garcia while a very good fighter doesn't have those key attributes which would make up for his physical disadvantages.

    Speed and Power goes a long way when fighting a bigger guy. Especially a plodder like Margarito

    Bad examples, u know Corrales was the same weight as Mayweather right? And Margarito was drained to a catchweight and had been exposed as a cheating fraud. Find better examples

    Because Corrales doesn't use his height or reach and he was not a good boxer. Corrales likes to fight at close range despite his advantages and he leaves himself too open. That played right into Mayweather's style.

    floyd was faster than anyone he fought, he was also longer, and an elite fighter to boot. thats why floyd-jmm turned out like mikey-spence.

    You're an idiot and **** poster. Spence isnt a weight bully for starters and styles make fights. Margarita and Corrales were tailor made for Floyd and Pac respectively. ****ing pick up a boxing 101 book, get some world and life experience, open your mind and learn a thing about objectivity. Otherwise beat feet clown.
