Mayweather...

[killersheep]

The Corrales fight was definately his best performance IMO. He was the underdog and was facing an undefeated soon to be legend in his prime.

What was it 5 knockdowns?

Sorry Greg have to correct you there my friend, Mayweather was a 1/4 favourite in that fight he was no underdog.

Are you for real? Don't get old man, the mind does some funky shite.

Castillo 1 was his toughest, I felt he just edged it, but he really had to dig deep. An honourable mention should go to the Carlos Hernandez fight. He showed real heart in that one, dominating a fight that he spent most of fighting with just one hand.

As amazing as the Corrales performance was (& Skel are you sure, on the Showtime broadcast they mention Corrales is the favourite), I'm gonna go with his first Championship win against Genaro Hernandez. Genaro is arguably the most underrated fighter of the past 20 years imo, he's one of the 5 best 130lbers of all time & had The Ring not been defunct, he almost certainly would have been lineal champ after beating Azumah Nelson. Mayweather was definitely a massive underdog in that one, Genaro had only lost to an Oscar who massively outweighed him at 135, yet Mayweather dominated him from start to finish to stop him on his stool at the end of eight.

Mayweather was the favourite but not as short as 1/4 just checked that, so Greg apologies he wasn't a 1/4 shot but he was the slight favourite in the fight, here is an article about the fight and the odds.

Haha funny enough, am sure if someone digs it up I had the same argument with Ice a few years ago, I was you in the argument and Ice was me, so my I blame Ice for the " 1/4 " quote.

I remember saying the fight was pretty even, amongst most people. I don't know about the odds, but i remember them being pretty close.

Anyway back on topic.

Toughest fight = Jose Luis Castillo 1

Best Performance = Diego Corrales

Most Exciting Fight = Jesus Chavez, Phillip N'Dou.

Most Disappointing Performance = Carlos Baldomir one of the few Floyd Mayweather Jr fights, i didn't enjoy. It wasn't a bad performance really, but since when has Floyd Mayweather Jr had a real bad performance ? but i just feel he had much better performances.

Ah ok, maybe it was a situation where Mayweather was the narrow betting favourite and Corrales was the favourite with the 'pundits', hence Showtime's misleading statement.

He had a tough fight with Jesus Chavez too - He was a tough cookie! Mayweather fought the perfect fight and never got flustered which made it way easier than it should have been.

Another great offensive performance was against Phillip N'dou - Mayweather, boring?? Watch his fight against N'dou and most fights at 140lbs and below.
