I recently watched Floyd vs Chop Chop for the first time. Am I the only one that thinks this was his best performance? or at least most exciting? he displayed it all in that fight.

Corrales fight was his best performance and legacy fight.
I need to watch that fight again. But Floyd showed amazing heart in his fight with chop chop. Got hurt several times still dominated the fight. Never ran. Stayed and fought the whole fight.

He's most exciting fight is the one with Jesus Chavez.
Didn't he go a whole round without being punched?Quote:

Certainly not because Jesus Chavez threw 90+ in about 5 rounds, it was a very good action fight from start to finish. With the last 2 rounds being eye catching rounds, and it was probably one of Floyd Mayweather's Jr's most competitive fights.Quote:

Diego Corrales fight was a one sided massacre, a good performance to watch but not exactly exciting because it wasn't two way action.
I think the Coralles fight was by far his most impressive, it was one of the most one sided beatdowns of a top level fighter that I've ever seen, as one sided as Calzaghe Lacy.
I loved his win over Phillip N'dou as well. He was a dangerous puncher with about a 90% + KO percentage and Floyd stood toe to toe with him and destroyed him.
I like the Mayweather Corley fight because Mayweather had to fight and show grit doing it which I think had kinda been gone since he'd moved up from 130... I'd actually only watched that fight from start to finish literally an hour before the Mosley fight and I can remember think that maybe I'd underestimated Floyd's ability to out-fight his opponent.
But in terms of strategy and execution, the corrales fight was brilliant, the best example of brain completely overruling brawn.
Have to go with Corrales followed by Ndou. He was vicious and in seek in destroy mode.
corley fight was best cause it showed his ability to fight fiercely after getting rocked
hatton... It has to be hattonQuote:

I'm going to pick the Gatti fight. Although Gatti was turtle like slow against Mayweather, Floyd showed his ass in that fight with some laser punches.
Larry Merchant :p
I agree, his fight with Corrales was probably his most impressive victory. But I love that fight with Ndou!Quote:
