    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.

    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.
