Better win? Mayweather TKO10 Corrales or Lomachenko TKO10 Linares

Exactly

 

Everyone who picked Linares has been put on ignore.

 

No it’s not. Every fighter reacts differently. Life is not a video game. Corrales beat up his pregnant girlfriend - I don’t remember how much time he was facing or if he already knew his sentence before hand but as someone who has dealt with numerous people facing prison sentences I can tell you each man handles it differently.
To me- and this just my opinion it bears no influence on yours or anyone else’s opinion -Corrales seemed distracted in the fight with Mayweather. I’ll be honest i’m Not a fan of Mayweather’s but i’m Not a hater either. He looked great that night and took full advantage.
The question by the Op was which win is greater. I picked Linares because I feel he was fully focused for this fight. He was damn good last night. Plus Lomachenko jumped a division to face him. Corrales was mentally beaten entering the ring vs Floyd. I can’t prove that- i’m Just going on body language, and his post fight and how he reacted to his corner. Guy’s head was not in the sport.
Anyway pretty incredible that Lomachenko is even being mentioned with guys like Pac-Man and Mayweather and De La Hoya after only 12 fights. That is special.

 

truth is though that Corrales beating someone up is his failing as a boxer and a man, and if he couldnt cope with it, its his inability at the top level, theres noone else to blame for his lack of grace.

A more consummate pro, and better boxer, would have ensured he'd never get in that position in the first place.

 

Sure is his failing as a person and as a man. It was a despicable thing to do. I don’t believe he should of stepped in the ring until that matter was settled but I understand people gotta get paid. It’s all on him.
I’m saying he was unfocused and that wasn’t the best version of him. I thought last night was the best version of Linares.
I freely admit that Corrales has a better career resume than Linares. I just don’t think you had an optimal performance from each man on the chosen night selected.
This is obviously an extreme example but it would be like someone saying who had a better career rematch Lennox Lewis vs Oliver McCall 2 or Mike Tyson vs Razor Ruddock 2. I would say Tyson cause McCall was not mentally in the sport despite the fact he was stopped and Ruddock wasn’t. Now that’s through no fault of Lewis or Floyd both did what they had to do but in this sport so much is mental wins over prime focused opposition rate highly.
Now some ppl feel it’s an excuse on Corrales part or that it’s an excuse used by Mayweather haters, that’s fine- it’s really subjective and hard to prove how distracted Corralles was.
To me- imo- corrales looked distracted and not ready for that moment.
Linares clearly was last night

 

Like Ray Robinson?

 

You're making yourself look even worse by comparing Corrales to Oliver McCall.

1. Floyd blew away an undefeated, pfp number 4 champion as an underdog
2. Lomachenko had a tough night with a decent champion who wasn't pfp rated and was expected to lose to Loma more easily than he did.

 

oh sure,. but he was too damn good for it to make him look bad.

i bet you it took its toll on him though.

 

I said it was an extreme example. I’m using the logic of a focused fighter against an unfocused fighter.
You’ve exposed yourself as a hater.
Lomachenko jumped a weight and dethroned the top guy. With a body shot.
You’re bringing up a fight from 17 years ago - to try and diminish what happened last night. Which by the way was the highest rated combat sport program of 2018 so far- great news for the sport.
Let Floyd enjoy his retirement and just relax and enjoy the Matrix

 

Draw.


Corralles has a glass jaw. FACTS!

Linares fades gets cuts against competition his level.

I would say a draw is a fair assessment.

Why? because both these cats are not known for their durability.

You can almost tell. From round 4 that Linares was starting to cut and fade.

And you can always guarantee that Corralles would get dropped any minute someone lands on his jaw.

 

Had a glass jaw. He is brown bread.

The thing is even if Corrales was distracted he would never beat Floyd. He has 1 chance and that's landing a random haymaker out of nowhere. Other than that he cannot win. He does not have the skill to land on Mayweather and utilize his power. He tried to land and if they had a rematch he would try to land again. But he can't land his punch.

 

I agree with that but that is hindsite going in - it was on paper a legit 50/50 match. Floyd was too good and style wise the match up was in his favor. However, Floyd aside- I feel it was a very poor effort from Corrales.

 

Definitely Floyd. I don't know anyone who picked Linares to win against Loma.
