Would beating Cotto be Floyd's biggest win?

How was corrales weight drained? atsch

 

Its common knowlegde he was completey ****ed..? Go and make a thread about it..? i am sure afew old school folk here maybe.? on the Classic forum will tell you all about it.

 

Hmm didnt know that, knew he had always been a 130 fighter so I assumed there was no issues. What had happened?

Always seemingly forgot about. Good breakdown, NS.

 

No. Corrales will always be his biggest win to me. It's the first and last time he ever entered a fight as the underdog.

 

I actually think he was a slight favorite.

I've always heard that the Genaro fight is the only fight in his career that Vegas odds-makers anointed him the underdog.

 

Not even top 5.

1. Corrales
2. De La Hoya
3. Hatton
4. Castillo
5. Mosley
6. Marquez
7. Cotto

 

No Cotton is on the down side.

 

surely Marquez rates above Corley?

 

I got a question for you and this came to my mind cause i've been wanting to ask you this. How come you don't appreciate Bernard Hopkins as a fighter? I'm only asking that because Hopkins is an old school fighter(a throwback) who mimics guys like Charley Burley, Sandy Saddler, Bennie Brisco etc. etc. and seeing that Joe Louis avater pic you have that you do appreciate throwback fighters from past. Is it because you don't like his style or you just think he's overrated?

 

*Assume. I'd pick hatton to take out Cotto prime for prime at light welterweight if I'm honest.

 

Only because Cotto would be weight drained at 10 stone at welter cotto wins i dont think Hatton was all that at 10 stone 7 to be honest.

 

Chico and JLC would both be above it.

Cotto would be a bigger win than Hatton, though. Other than "taking a zero" from a guy who was a big name at the time and coming off a lengthy reign in a lower division, Hatton wasn't that huge a win. Floyd was supposed to beat him pretty easily (for anyone who knew S.A.B.) and he did.
