    Floyd's best performance by far..he was sensational that night .not sure if corrales landed double figures in any round..but I doubt it...Chico got absolutely destroyed

    I guess I was confusing "best" and "dominant". I meant not outright dominant performance, but best performance in that his ability to change the trajectory of a fight in his favor (adapt) after having difficulty early on. The fight with Cotto comes to mind as well.

    I worked at an Elementary School in 2013 and met his daughter. She said he took her to watch WWE at the Thomas & Mack Center.

    I told her I was a fan of boxing and was sad to hear about his death.. (motorcycle accident)

    She looked just like him. Very uncanny resemblance.

    This is one of my favorite fights of Mayweather. He put on a master class boxing performance that night.

    That was a master class performance by Floyd against a great fighter in Chico.
    Sweet science at its best.
