Manatsch I usually can disagree with someone without having to make an argument out of it but you got this all fu*ked up. Corrales was a big time puncher and pretty skilled too. Castillo was like 65% of himself when he moved up to fight Hatton. I think Cotto beats them too at 140,but we are talking about these guys when Floyd fought them in their prime. Castillo and Corralles best weights were either Lt,or Jl. I liked Tszyu but he never wanted a rematch with Phillips. Randall,Prime chavez,Pryor,Taylor,Cervantes,Benitez,Pac,Mcgirt all kick Tszyu ass.
No way, JC Chavez is the most over-rated fighter of all time.he should have 20 more loses on his records, he got soooooooooo many gift decisions against bums early in his career. Mcgirt would get KTFO, Randall too. I only see Pryor and Taylor giving him problems. Anyways back on topic. Corrales was a B level fighter at best, his best wins where against shot fighters.
what I put in green...exactly. Manny always takes the bigger risks than Floyd!! Pac vs DLH was a huge risk Pac vs Hatton very risky fight Pac vs Cotto huge, huge risk Pac vs Barrera 1 massive risk Pac vs Marquez 1 epic, massive risk Pac vs Morales 1 huge risk Pac vs Morales 2 huge risk Pac vs Marquez 2 big risk Mayweather has refused to take on the risks in the second phase of his career, and phase 3 is off to a horrible start Floyd vs DLH (risky for sure) Floyd vs Hatton at 47 some risk Floyd vs Gatti somewhat risky at the time Floyd vs Baldo a bit of risk Floyd vs Judah somewhat risky Floyd wrestling Floyd retiring Floyd vs Marquez (very little risk) Pac consistently faces the most dangerous guys, Floyd does not. But now Cotto has done something Fraud can't touch, he beat one of the major names at welter, a prime winning welter of the era. A guy who has beaten Mosley and Clottey and Judah and likely got assaulted in the ring by Margarito. Queue up the guitars, queue up John Lennon's Give Peace A Chance "all we are saying is Floyd needs to fight!"
You can't be weight drained for one fight and than better prepared for another fight at the same weight on a different day? Surely, often, the weight excuse is complete BS but sometimes they don't lose the weight properly, it doesn't have to negate the victor's performance completely
You might be right about McGrit at jw. He seemed to be a better all around fighter at Welter,although his power diminished. At Welter i would pick Mcgirt no doubt!
Cotto barely got past guys at 140 waaaaay down the talent ladder from JLC and Corrales, and anyway we're talking about what they were at 135. Neither of them ever fought at 140 that I can recall, Diego skipped straight to WW. Are you trying to make a joke or something? Yes, KT beats them all except maybe PBF and Manny.
KT lost to phillips but he can some how beat Benitez, Pac and Pryor. Pryor would bulldoze through KT, he cant even handle hattons shitty preassure, yet somehow he can handle Pryor. Taylor, no, what are you basing this on, the way be beat Judah and Shambra Mitchell. Im convinced you forgot to take your medication when you said Benitez and Pac, this new and improved Pac would make him quit, Kostya Tzsyu breaks under any form of preassure, he probably even quits when playing COD.
:nut :nut pretty skilled against cab drivers that filled his 33-0 resume at the time floyd fought him maybe. head to head i'd take cotto to knock him out anyday. Resume wise, Cotto is still on top
PBF put on one of the best displays of boxing of the last 25 years in that fight I mean the very definition of boxing clinic log off.:deal Chico had no answers for PBF and would lose 100 out of 100 times to him.
