Corrales Sr.: Floyd only beat Chico because they threw in the towel

Besides Roy Jones, name a better more dominant fighter then Floyd was at 130.

Given you only know about 2 or 3 guys, this might be hard for you.

 

Arguello?


and wtf do you mean jones at 130?

 

He looked utterly limited against Mayweather, who looked untouchable in that fight.

There is no reason why that fight could have extended.

 

Chico forgot he was allowed to jab in that fight. He suffered a complete schooling from Floyd because of it.

 

In the fight against Castillo, Chico had a chance of winning. He was not beaten on the scorecards but against Mayweather...yeah. The scorecards were not even in effect. He was so far down, they needed to start back over.

 

To weak, too distracted and Floyd too good at that weight.

 

Arguello and Floyd are virtually tied at the weight. Some say Arguello was the best 130lber ever, some say Floyd.


However doesnt really matter, I was referring to the time both were fighting. When Mayweather was at 130 he was the most dominant fighter on the planet, with the exception of Roy Jones.

 

Corrales was a good fighter, but Mayweather was just much better.

 

I'll never forget the end of that fight where his dad stopped it and Diego started screaming "What the **** are you doing!?" over and over at his dad. Reminds me of the accounts of both times when the fights between Carmen Basilio and Gene Fullmer were stopped in the 12th round. When it happened in the rematch Carmen screams at the ref "What the hell are you doing!?" Then he holds his glove up to him and says "I'll give you one of these!!"

I feared for Corrales' father's wellbeing when he stopped that fight much like I'm sure the ref for Basilio's second fight with Fullmer didn't feel very safe with Carmen threatening to beat him up

Both these guys are all time favorite fighters of mine who wanted nothing more than to fight to the bitter end despite the odds.

 

Yeah, you're right.

I remember now.

 

Void lost to Castillo and Oscar, good thing he had his judges.

 

floyd's win over chico is one of the most overrated wins in all of boxing history
