    This is the same guy who keeps popping up in classic claiming Pacqiauo is already the best fighter of his era, which he isn't.

    Morales beat prime Pacquiao at super featherweight in the same era. That alone counts for something. There has been no better win since then. Even though he mostly campaigned below 130.

    If there was only 2 belts between 126-135 like there used to be. Chico would have never sniffed a world title. No way he could compete with Morales, Barrera, Marquez, Pacquiao, Mosley, etc. Just no fricking way.

    It is such a shame that in order to sh!t on Floyd, you have to denigrate such a great fighter such as Corrales, who gave so many boxing fans so much joy over his career. Switch off your computer and go kill yourself.

    Depends how you define what great is versus good. To me any fighter in the P4P top 5 is a great one.

    "Morales lost to Maidana and Barrera lost to Khan, wow they must be terrible!"

    - The average idiot's logic.

    I agree completely with the emboldened part. If you want to **** on Mayweather, go right ahead but don't drag Corrales into the hate fest.

    As a fan I don't by into the Corrales is Mayweather's best win, maybe most visually destructive considering the opponent but Mayweather beating Castillo 1/2 years later is a bigger win. As far as elite fighters Diego, Ricky, Saul, Jos ect... even Zab to an extent where prime elite fighters at the time of the fight.

    People say Floyd ain't fought nobody but anybody with sense will tell you the careers and legacies of guy's like Castillo or a Corrales sh*t on guys like Williams and Margarito's career. I'm a Martinez fan think a fight with him and May at 160 would have been huge 3 years ago would even pick Sergio to win anywhere above 154 but the fact is Canelo is already damn near more accomplished then Martinez and he's still considered green.

    True but Canelo was drained for the Mayweather fight so that puts a stink on what would likely have been an exceptional win

    Corrales rehydrated to 145 from 130 after the weigh in. I'm not going to buy into him being weight drained because that's a cop out. But........ it surely wasn't optimal. At that point Corrales was killing himself to make 130. He challenged Floyd at 130 or 135 because Corrales was no ducker. He would fight anybody. Of course Floyd thought it would be best to drain him down as much as possible though and said let's fight at 130.

    Hey according to Victor a leading ***** Corrales is a bigger win than Barrera. I'm worried about him and trying to gather funds so we can have an intervention and get him to put down Sr.'s Crack pipe.
