    Considering Mayweather was the big favorite and Rigo wasnt I think it should be simple.

    Mayweather vs Chico was Floyds masterpiece

    Shame that Chico didn't become a top ATG :roll:

    Im pretty sure mayweather wasnt the favourite. Two undefeated fighters, Corrales with a height advantage and higher ko%. I remember commentators claiming Diego the favourite

    No he was my friend , and a pretty heavy one. I think there was inside information on Diego have weight and marital problems.

    I think Floyd was at least 3 to 1.

    Rigondeaux's win was better, but Corrales is probably Floyd's best performance.

    that's a flat out lie. Corrales was the favorite and was ranked ahead of Floyd at the time

    Floyd's performance, vs Rigo's?

    No contest. Floyd!

    5 knockdowns and a ko, vs getting knocked down, manhandled, and maligned by many, for an ugly fight?

    Are you sure about that mate? If floyd was heavy favourite then when has he ever been the underdog?

    thanks, there were plenty of experts and fans picking Corrales beforehand. "Floyd was a HUGE favorite" yeah right

    "I see this as a rerun of Hearns-Cuevas or Hearns-Duran. It's all about
    physics. Granted, Floyd is WAY more mobile than Cuevas or Duran but the
    principal remains the same. Corrales is such a freak of nature as a jr.
    lightweight. Floyd's only chance to win is to get inside like Sugar Ray did
    on Hearns ... But it ain't gonna happen. Corrales, unlike Hearns, is a
    mother****er on the inside. If Floyd's stones & ego are heavier than his
    brains, Corrales by KO between rounds 2-5. If Floyd decides to run, Corrales
    W12."

    "This fight is as close as they come. They are without a doubt the two best
    at 130lbs and are also the only two fighters who can beat each other. I
    think Corrales should win the fight. He is just too big and strong for any
    Junior Lightweight. Mayweather's speed will be the difference early, but as
    the fight goes on Corrales will get closer and closer. Floyd will have to
    stop eventually, and this will be the beginning of the end. He simply will
    not be able to keep Corrales off of him. Corrales will stop him in the late
    rounds..."

    People forget how well-regarded Chico was.

    p4p he was probably a better fighter at that point in time & weight than Donaire was last year at super bantam.
