    Absolute nonsense. Aside from the fact that Corrales was going through serious turmoil and strife in his personal life at the time and was due in court literally only a couple of weeks after the Floyd fight on charges of beating up his pregnant girlfriend, he was also severely weight drained hence why he weighed in 2lbs over the limit. He was so weakened by trying to get down to 130 that pity pat puncher Floyd hurt him everytime he caught him and dropped him on his ass about 30 times. :deal

    Source Cyberboxingzone

    'Diego Corrales looked dead at 130 lbs. He failed to make weight on his first attempt, scaling two pounds over the junior lightweight limit. An hour later, after some downtime in a sauna, Corrales made the weight. By the time the bout began, Corrales had rehydrated to the tune of 146 lbs., although some of that weight could be attributed to a large club sandwich Corrales was seen scarfing in his dressing room a few hours before fight time. Once the fight began, Corrales appeared lethargic and later in the bout, his skinny legs frequently buckled under Mayweather's pinpoint accuracy.'

    Chico had lost that fight long before he climbed into the ring. :deal

    All the super featherweights I've listed and posted videos of (including Morales) >>>>Floyd H2H and accomplishment at the weight. :deal

    Hell, Morales paddled Floyd's ass in sparring when he was a 122 pounder and Floyd was the champ at 130.:deal

    'WBC 122 lb. champion Erik Morales recently spent a few days training at high-altitude Big Bear, CA. While there, Morales sparred with WBC 130 lb. champ Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather. According to a Los Angeles newspaper, for tworounds the smaller Morales put some serious hurt on the larger Mayweather. Mayweather didn't like it one bit and stormed out angry.'

    Mayweather beats Arguello H2H at 130 IMO via competitive decision, but Arguello arguably ranks higher at the weight due to his opposition there.

    JC Chavez ranks below Arguello at 130 and I favor Arguello H2H at the weight, but Chavez has a better chance at beating Mayweather. Chavez might win there, I think the Chavez beats Mayweather at 135 based on their fights at that weight (Chavez peaked against Rosario, just amazing that night).

    Camacho would give Mayweather, and just about anyone else, all sorts of problems but would probably drop a close decision. Mayweather would probably catch Camacho with enough pop and consistency to make Camacho go into a defensive shell, and Floyd wins. He was more resourceful and a better fighter, despite Camacho's ridiculous physical gifts.

    Mayweather wins a dull, safety-first decision against Nelson.

    I don't like Barrera or Morales's chances at all against Floyd. Mayweather is bigger and better.

    More damn excuses is that a common theme with PBF 's wins? PBF was facing jail time when he fought Cotto did anyone say hey PBF is facing jail time lets take it easy on him hell no. But with everyone else it's an excuse. The weight thing is an excuse as well. Chico fought at 130 for years after that fight and even won a title there. So tell that **** to someone who doesn't know any better because I do. The weight or jail had nothing to do with the boxing masterpiece PBF put on that night.

    Don't even bring up sparring you ignorant ****boy when discussing a possible fight bewteen PBF and EM. Sparring has nothing to do with how a fight will play out. It means nothing ask anyone, Spadafora got the better of PBF in sparring do you honestly think he would beat PBF in a fight?

    You can't draw up a scenario as to how EM would beat PBF at 130 in a boxing match, this guy went 4-3 at 130 nothing great about that record average at best. EM isn't going to outbox PBF and he's not going to knock him out so how in the hell does he win? I've been waiting for an answer to this but no PBF hater has provided it yet.:deal Em can't deal with PBF at 130 he's too complete and has literally no obvious weakness there and if a fight took place you wouldn't put one cent on EM to beat PBF and after the fight you'd be full of excuses saying PBF ran or he was too big or EM was shot just like you have for all of PBF's wins.:hi:

    They're not excuses Chico was clearly seriously drained for that fight and his personal life was in tatters, which I'm no doubt sure probably contributed to his weight making difficulties. I don't care about Floyd's other fights I'm specifically alluding to this one, the one you're holding up as a benchmark to Floyd's greatness. I bet even you could've put on a ''boxing masterpiece'' against that version of Chico. :deal

    Yes sparring is relevant I'm afraid. Morales was the champ at 122 but he paddled 130 champ Floyd's ass something rotten, so much so that Floyd fled the gym in tears never to return. :deal

    And yes I do think Spaddy would've paddled Floyd's ass in real fight actually. Floyd couldn't deal with his slickness at all. Watch the tape again Spaddy gave him a boxing lesson. It was such a one-sided humiliation that Floyd refused to allow outside cameras into his gym to film his sparring sessions after that. :deal

    How would Morales beat Floyd? Via giving him a good old-fashioned stiff whack on his whiskers and putting his lights out. :deal

    All the super featherweights I've listed and posted videos of>>>Floyd H2H & achievements at the weight. :deal

    Serge forgot the most important part about the Corrales win...

    Corrales isn't an ATG.

    It's one thing to beat Corrales. It's another to beat Pacquiao.

    Greatest exhibition of boxing this era?

    NO that was Pacquiaos destruction of barrea. Other notable ones include Hopkins destroying Trinidad and morales decisioning pacquiao.

    Morales is a great fighter without a doubt but I don't think 130 was his best. He has a great resume and fought and beat some ATG fighters, but H2H at 130 Mayweather beats Morales. Everyone knows that sparring doesn't count. Honestly, I think Mayweather was his best at 130.

    Pacs win over MAB wasn't even n the top 10 of the greatest boxing exhibitions of this era it was flawed boxing over a guy with brain damage. Pbf clinic over Chico is what the sweet science is all about at its highest level and would stack up in any era.:deal

    That "brain damage" didn't seem to bother him against Morales and Hamed.

    Chico just doesn't rate that high. A win over him doesn't carry the same significance as a win over an ATG does.
