    Chico fought him at JMW after jumping up 3 weight classes from his previous fight. This is also have having wars and rubber matches with Casymayor and Castillo.

    Reguardless Chico, Mayweather fought wasn't the same Chico that Clottey fought. So simplistic statements like that don't mean much.

    Either Corrales or Castillo. I lean towards Chico out of bias.

    Bojangles and Church's were both in their prime and Floyd whoop them.

    KFC the best.

    If Popeye want some he can get some too.

    While the issues did take something away from him, I don't think those are the reasons he got dominated.

    It's debatable but if you're going to scrutinise Mayweather's comp be fair and do the same to Pacman. Who has Pacman beaten that is better than Floyd's opposition? Pac beat a Barrera who had already been dominated by Jones and been beaten by Morales - why is that better than a much bigger Delahoya again? He beat a Morales who lost every round to Raheem - why's that impressive? He beat a protected Cotto who was coming off a brutal KO loss to a bum (Margarito) and a controversial win over someone who lost to Baldomir. He beat a drained Delahoya fighting his first fight at 147 for 8 years

    What is so good about Pacman's resume, seriously? Mayweather's beat fighters coming off career best wins, Pacquaio has beaten people coming off career worse losses that took the wind out of them while weight draining them

    Now you are just making this into a completely different discussion, now about Pac, just to defend Floyd.

    YOU are the one who said JMM, JLC, and DLH are rank BETTER then any win Pac has. THAT is what I was commenting about.

    Besides, judging from what you posted, I should just save my time. According to you, because Raheem beat Morales, NOW beating Morales is nothing. That's the EXACT type of logic that tells me I am just going to waste my time with you. No offense. :thumbsup

    Corrales #5 lb 4 lb when Floyd fought him and undefeated

    Hatton #8 lb 4 lb when Floyd fought him and undefeated

    JMM #2 in the world and Floyd was coming off a 19 month layoff; arguably never beaten (I have not seen the Norwood-Marquez fight so I could be wrong on that one)

    as far as being prime-Corrales and Hatton were both "prime"...Castillo x2 was a great couple of victories.

    :patsch Wow....OK..so HBO callls it that. I guess that made it so. :rofl Really?

    Dude, cut this **** out. And no, you are wrong. There was talk up to the fight about that ****. Are you seriously trying to tell me there was nothing said ever until AFTER the fight? :patsch You are outright LYING dude. I care less to further disacuss anything with posters who outright LIE just to try and win something. :-(

    He fought Clottey at 149 because CHICO failed to make the weight. Go figure.

    He is not lying but just getting it mixed up. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYgDG8JZ2rA&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PLCA1D88D6442B0C51[/ame] Chico did say that making weight wasn't an issue and that it wouldn't affect him. Ariza should have done a better job. His legal stuff was talked about before the fight but Chico himself never made excuses.
