    Of course he never. You forgot to mention that Diego also had an impending jail sentence on his mind too.

    Floyd Mayweather has never fought a fair, hard fight in his life.

    Yes, now you are seeing the light.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I didn't forget to mention the jail sentence, I figured everyone on this forum would already know, I just think Corrales made a dumb mistake by saying he'd fight Floyd at 135 or 130. Stupid mistake like Dawson did with Ward. Corrales was already gone from 130, given up his belt after the Manfredy fight.

    It wasn't Corrales' mistake, it was Floyd's demand because like I said he's never had a real fight in his career.

    Little known fact about Floyd is that since 1999, he's worked a clause into his contract that every opponent MUST take a mild sedative before the fight. Diego was the first opponent he worked that into because he was scared of Diego's power.

    If it was the real Diego who wasn't drugged, didn't beat his wife and get sentenced to jail, and wasn't forced to fight at 130... Floyd wouldn't have made it out of round 3.

    So it was Floyd's demand for Chico to relinquish his belt too?

    Whatever, cutting weight is a bitch. Try it sometime.

    Wrestled in high school, I've cut weight.

    When have you cut weight?

    I just find it funny, I've heard every excuse imaginable for every Floyd victory over the past 10 years or so, but I never heard one for Corrales until now

    These haters are relentless.

    If having a different opinion causes you to label me a hater then that's fine, although a little immature.

    I feel Mayweather would have beaten Corrales at any stage of his career, even without the weight issues as well as everything else going into that fight. But the facts are that Corrales had relinquished his belt to move up to lightweight. He stated in his post fight interview that he'd fight Floyd at 135 or 130, which was a mistake. You need to be at your best to compete against Floyd and Corrales trying to cram down to 130 didn't do himself any favors. He should have waited at lightweight for Floyd to move up. Money talks though.

    I've had over a dozen amateur bouts, have often only gotten an opponent on less than a weeks notice and had to boil down to their required weight. Cutting weight sucks.
