    It was OK, but ranks behind a 56 year old Pacquiao's win over pound for pound number 3 Tim Bradley. :good

    ^^^Hell no. Pacquiao beat a feather fisted Really 140 pound Bradley who beat pac in the first fight which yeah it was a gift win and Bradley barely survive vs a very unknown 1 dimensional prov.


    Corrales at that time was unbeatable and was undefeated and most ppl pick corrales to beat a smaller feather fisted Mayweather.

    Corrales was the favorite he was the huge punching machine similar to Trinidad but when he faced a pure boxer in Floyd he was out gunned ..It was his best performance no doubt ..

    Oh stop with that stupid bs excuse. If he was that drain, he wouldn't still be fighting at 130 pounds when he fought twice at that weight vs casa so please stop it.

    He fought Casamayor at 135 and I think 140. I remember Corrales eating a bunch of food right before the fight. He was clearly starving

    The Corrales fight is unquestionably one of the best Mayweather wins. That fight made me a fan of Floyd's skills.

    It was his speed and the timing of his shots.

    I don't think Chico was prepared- at all- for what hit him.

    I am BTW NOT someone who likes Floyd, but his performance in that fight is undeniable.

    Irc Corrales was in no shape to fight, set for jail, divorced, practically killed himself to make weight, and pushed by Floyd's taunting. His managers stole his belt. It's ironic that Floyd is the wife beater now haha. He was cherry picking them since the beginning? Chico was 2lbs over weight. Ya think shedding that to make the scale had an effect?

    Negative. Mayweather was the slight favorite according to Vegas oddsmakers.

    Yet Chico fought at 130 years after the fight and even won a title there as well. Log off. PBF beats any version of Chico period end of discussion.:deal

    This is mayweathers best win but many seem to forget a couple things. First corrales tried to move up to lightweight before this fight as je clearly couldnt comfortably make weight anymore, second he was overweight at the weigh in and according to the media clearly looked drained BEFORE shedding the extra weight, third corrales did fight for a 130 title nearly 3 years after this fight and both were shaky performances which prompted his move up in weight.

    Too bad to much potential and still is the best performance and win for Floyd. After that are just good wins nothing elite.
