    Corrales who had pulled a last minute upset against Castillo in their first bout, won the rematch against Casamayor, and beat up an undefeated Acelino Freitas.




    Some of these ATG fighters however had stipulations, and were picked on optimal circumstances like Cotto and De La Hoya.
    At the time of Floyd fight, corrales hadn't fought Casamayor yet. The Marshall was waiting for him ringside to take it him to jail. I don't think his mind was in the fight.

      Shows how great he was.

      I think alot of the ww’s during that period were guys that moved up.

        That's a interesting detail, wonder how much of a psychological toll it took on Corrales.

          Yes, the only established ones were Williams and at 154 Margarito.

            Maidana might have moved up from light welterweight, but not sure he had an easy time making weight there, as he struggled heavily against Erik Morales and Amir Khan.

            Alvarez also seemed to rehydrate 15-20 pounds at 154, a division above Floyd's.

              Canelo is the "Compiler" lol. Fighters can only face and beat whoever is available during their time and Floyd has fought them all. Sure not all of them were in their primes but that’s not all his fault.

              He missed Margarito but in hindsight who gives a sht when he has beaten much better foes.

              Compiler is way more fitting for Canelo.

                He was considered a cautious guy. So probably not too great. But a good resume for sure

                  Up to Hatton it is pretty good, after Hatton its smoke and mirrors.

                    Some will elevate guys Floyd didn’t fight way above their status. Others will pretend a guy was shot when Floyd beat him.
                    Stop crying if Floyd fought and beat a fighter that was out of his prime, that's exactly what it was.

                    If he managed to duck a fighter like Thurman who was his mandatory and held two of the belts, that's what it is.

                    Nobody needs to fabricate anything regarding your man crush.

                      Guys like you lie about the condition of his opposition.

                      example, you made a thread asking Floyd to fight Shane next. You didn’t say Shane was shot. He fought him 4 months after that. You picked Shane to win. Floyd won. You claimed Shane was shot. You denied making the thread until IrondanHamza found it and exposed you.

                      You’re so very bitter that Floyd beat Manny, you will lie like you did above.

                      Can’t have a reasonable discussion with someone like you. Maybe one day you will get over the loss, stop lying, and show some integrity.
