Mayweather's Greatest Performance is Not Corrales

Figure the quality of opposition. His performance was equal in those fights, yes, but against Gatti a B-, C fighter and N'Dou C fighter. Corrales was at one time (when they fought he was 5th by Ring P4P) consider one of the 5 best in the world. You have to start taking that into consideration.

 

True. Agreed. Pac and JMM were #2 P4P by Ring Magazine, each. Mosley was #3 while Hatton was #8. There are several options from which to choose from depending on personal criteria. Same when discussing greatest performances of most the great fighters from the past.

 

First off, NONE of those guys are my faves.

Secondly, against Diego, Floyd was a BEAST on the offence and a WIZARD on the defence.

You know nothing about the game, so stop talking about it.

 

He was still prime enough to KO6 the #2p4p in the world 3 years subsequent to his boxing lesson from Foyd.

 

The Corrales and N'Dou fights are like comparing Roy Jones vs Toney, Reggie Johnson fights.

Both are spectacular performances and you can't go wrong with either one.

Floyd was entering into his prime defensively going into that fight with N'Dou. But that perfomance at 130 was masterful. He damn near turned every punch over against Corrales, footwork was out of this world too. Can't go wrong with either option.
