Corrales was, at the time, one of the most dangerous boxers around! This really demonstrates how superior Floyd was to everyone!
How tall was he?
Fact!
@@christusomnipotens3751 6'
@@christusomnipotens3751 Mayweather had a longer reach though lol like Crawford does height means nothing when you’ve got the longer arms and faster feet
Many newer boxing fans today don't realize just how good Diego Corrales was at this time. He was one of the best fighters in the world, and Floyd just dominated him. Incredible.
Cant believe how good Floyd's cardio is, i think one of the most underrated aspects to him. To throw that kind of speed into EVERY punch takes tremendous energy. To be able to sustain those fast twitch muscle over 10 rds without slowing down even a fraction, unbelivable.
Well said
I always said that about floyd and not only 10 but the whole 12 💯
I know he worked really hard for good cardio but he has to have some crazy genetics too, sustaining that speed for that long
Many trainers have said Floyd’s gift is his conditioning
It’s his best weapon. He used it to destroy Conor. He came out barely through any punches until 4th round by the 10th Conor couldn’t continue. Floyd uses that cardio better than anyone else out there! It’s a combination of his defensive ability and cardio. He can stay safe and wear you out with out ever slowing down.
When Floyd and his father, held each other after the fight. 😭😭😭 Couldn't hold back the tears.
The same my side man
Floyd was so dominant against Corrales that this was the last time Mayweather would be an underdog in his career.
Floyd cherry-picked his opponents after this fight. He was a favorite because he chose 'b' and 'c' level opponents.
@@MrMarco855 Let me give you a graph of every Floyd fight AFTER Corrales: Carlos Hernandez, 33-2-1 future IBF Super Featherweight champion, had wins over Gregorio Vargas and Narciso Valenzuela Romo (who knocked down De La Hoya in their fight), went on to beat Justin Juuko, a 23-1 Steve Forbes and former world title challenger Juan Carlos Ramirez. Jesus Chavez, 35-1 future two division champion with wins Emanuel Augustus, Javier Jauregui, an 18-2-1 Louie Lejia, Troy Dorsey, and 33-1 Juan Jose Arias. Went on to beat Sirimongkol Singwancha, Carlos Gerena, Carlos Hernandez, and Leavander Johnson. Jose Luis Castillo TWICE (first fight was a robbery) Victoriano Sosa, 35-2-2, former world title challenger who had wins over Francisco Lorenzo and perennial contender Harold Warren. Philip N’Dou (no relation to Lovemore Ndou), 31-1 with wins over 21-1-2 Jesus Zatarin and 26-0 Cassius Baloyi. Demarcus Corley, 28-2-1 former WBO lightweight champion who had wins over hard punching Randall Bailey, Inaugural WBO Latino welterweight champion Felix Flores, and Ener Julio. Would go on to become an underrated journeyman, and also went on to beat Darryl Tyson, an 18-0 Gabriel Bracero, a 23-1 Paul McCloskey, and a faded Vivian Harris. Henry Bruseles, 21-2-1, basically just a crappy version of Miguel Cotto. Only notable wins were an old Ben Tackie and an old Cesar Bazan. Then came Arturo Gatti, who he schooled with ease, back when the two weight champ was still at the top of his game. Gatti had beaten Wilson Rodriguez, Jesse James Leija, Gabriel Ruelas, Tracy Harris Patterson, Calvin Grove, Micky Ward twice, 55-3 former champ Joey Gamache (although the weight advantage was INSANE) former champion Leonard Dorin/Doroftei, and 32-0-1 Gianluca Branco. After Floyd he beat 37-0 Thomas Damgaard as well. After that, former world champion Sharmba Mitchell, who had beaten an old Bazooka Limon, 32-2 kickboxer turned boxing champ Khalid Rahilou, Rocky Lockridge, Terron Millett (who once dropped Zab Judah), Felix Flores, Vince Phillips, 38-2-2 fringe contender Carlos Vilches, Ben Tackie, Lovemore Ndou, 35-1-2 Michael Stewart, 30-2 Reggie Green, and he went on to beat 33-1-2 Jose Luis Cruz. Speaking of Zab Judah, that fight’s up next, he was a former Undisputed Champion at Welterweight, in addition to being a multi-weight champion. After that, one of the slowest unified champions of all time, Carlos Baldomir, he beat both Gatti and Judah but had insane weight advantages over them. And now we get to the bigger fights: Oscar De La Hoya, five division champion with a stacked resume. 43-0 two-weight champ Ricky Hatton, whose aggressive style got dismantled by Floyd (albeit with some help from Joe Cortez) A slightly past it JMM, above where he fights best, but still dangerous, and also a good counterpuncher. Then came three weight champ Shane Mosley, who actually had Floyd hurt at one point, however Floyd recovered and won the fight. 29-2-2 Defending Welterweight champion Victor Ortiz, he had wins over former WBO Bantamweight champ Alfred Kotey, Mike Arnaoutis, Nate Campbell, Vivian Harris, 27-0 Andre Berto, Tomas Barrientes (who had a win over Augustus)and Emmanuel Clottey (1994 Commonwealth Games participant), former champ Carlos Maussa (albeit he sucked as champ), and 1996 Olympian Dairo Esalas. Then came a 37-2 Miguel Cotto who was already elite by this time but went on to be a legend. 31-1-1 two weight champ Robert Guerrero, had wins over 23-0 Selcuk Aydin, Michael Katsidis, Malcolm Klassen, Vicente Escobedo, 35-1 Spend Albazi, a 23-1 Jason Litzau, two of the worst champs ever Eric Aiken and Juan Polo Perez, 30-2-4 Enrique Sanchez, and a 28-1 Berto. Went on to beat 24-1-1 Yoshihiro Kamegai, Victor Ortiz, and got a 2nd win over Berto on the last ever Showtime card 2 months ago. After that was a 42-0-1 Canelo who got schooled by the more savvy Floyd, but bizarrely CJ Ross scored the fight a DRAW. Followed by the two Maidana fights. Maidana was a former champ on the comeback trail after humiliating the undefeated multi-weight champ Adrien Broner. The first fight was tough for Mayweather, the second not so much. Then came the Manny Pacquiao superfight that turned out to be a stinker, and I will not elaborate on the fight itself but Manny was already a legend by this point. Lastly in terms of world level fights, the Andre Berto fight. Berto was 30-3, was a former champ, and had tried so hard across several years yo get a Mayweather fight. When the time came however, this man looked terrible against Floyd, just looked like a deer in headlights. As for the McGregor fight, it’s the weakest in his entire career so it doesn’t count toward much besides Conor’s fame from being a two weight UFC champion.
@MrMarco855 shut up
@@MrMarco855like Canelo Alvarez?
@@pandarasengan6709 Canelo was obviously a top-level fighter, but he was still a kid at the time. Floyd still deserves credit for beating him, but Floyd definitely cherry-picked his entire career. You can only find a few fights in which his opponent was top level and not compromised in some way. Smaller, at the end of their career, coming off of a loss, he even closed out his career against a non-pro fighter. Hard to defend that. If you examine his career and most of his opponents, you'll find the same thing,. In his very best prime years, Floyd had 8 fights. Most/all were against lower-level opponents or guys compromised in some way. Guys like Baldomir and Mitchell were old/far past their best. Guys like Victoriano Sosa, Philip N'Dou and Henry Bruseles were overmatched B/C level guys. Corley had just lost to Zab Judah when Floyd chose to fight him next. Zab had just lost to 36 year old Baldomir when Floyd chose him next. Gatti was washed up, far past it, he retired soon after. Those were the 8 guys Floyd fought when he was 25 to 29. Meanwhile there were a dozen or so better fighters in/near their prime ready and willing but Floyd ducked them.
I love how he still listening to his Dad during the fight from the crowd. Shit gives me goosebumps 🤞🏽
Shit gives you goosebumps? You shouldn't be rubbing shit on your skin.
I have always thought it's his strongest point that put him where he is. From his earlier fights he's been listening to him attentively and do exactly what he said.
Shout out to Roy Jones Jr for giving pops the credentials to get to the stage ppl won't talk about that 💯💯
I've seen this fight so many times and never noticed that! Def props to Roy!!! 💯💯
This version of Floyd would be unbeatable in any era
Agreed.
Pretty boy was unstoppable
Goat
😂Obvious you are from Floyd era, there are more than enough boxers that would beat him. Every fighter is beatable. Corrales in the first fight proved that. Fighters like duran, hearns. Pernall Whitaker, even a prime Oscar I think would have beaten him. He was a old time great but not unbeatable or the best ever. In the last years he ruled boxing never went outside Vegas never took big risks. The canelo fight was impressive. On his boxing style was winning more than entertaining never took any risks. Mostly one... One two but not combinations. With that defence and stamina, very very smart. Most entertaining was outside the ring and I personally do not like his attitude
@@marcdikhoff4309Fighters usually get better as time goes on because advances in sports science and technique used become more refined. You can really judge fights based on their career and how good they were against their own competition and Mayweather had a better career than the guys you named.
People forget that Corrales was favored in this fight! Floyd was the “ underdog “
The announcers wanted Floyd to get caught so bad. They didn't know just how good he was but on this night they definitely did!
Just another couple of demented and incompetent hating clowns. I was glad to hear no Merchant, but these two are just as dumb.
They became a believer 😂
I use to see the biased but i slick think they tactically beef up the underdog on purpose to create the tension for viewers
Naw one of the announcers lost to Floyd so he was salty
hindsight is a beautiful thing lol
That moment with him and his dad was amazing ❤ shoutout to Roy for giving him his pass to get access to the ring.
This is the comment I was looking for!!!! That was a dope moment, Roy knew the assignment
Facts 💯
@@DJSwavor I was looking for this comment as well. Seen this fight a few times and never noticed. But Roy is a stand up dude for that.
💯
Commentators were riding Corrales so hard sheeeeshhh
Brushing their teeth with it
sheesh😮
Such a disgrace
I can’t unhear it😂
Terrible, said Floyd didn't wanna go toe to toe with Diego.. lol
See how Roy gave Floyd Sr. his pass so that he could go up to his son in the ring. Boxers lookin out for each other!! 39:22
Good catch never noticed that 🐐
beautiful
We’re still waiting for those power punches these announcers were talking about 😂😂😂
Anything that's not a jab is a power punch. Actual fans are aware of this fact. 🙄
No matter how you feel about Mayweather as a person, there's no denying he's one of the best to ever do it.
What to feel about Mayweather as person... Well, first off he packed his wallet with hefty and healthy networth; Does not take any crap in his body and does not get wasted. Did not have any felony charges and did not beat his women. He does seem to be a normal person just like anyone else.
@@ondaride777 There's still people who don't like him for his cocky attitude, and for some reason think that he's a boring and too defensive fighter (like that would be something bad to begin with). I guess they haven't seen some of the absolute highlights from his earlier years (like the fight in this video), when he knocked people out cold right and left. It wasn't until he started having problems with his hands that he became the GOAT in defense.
Not everyone can relate to greatness, hardwork and dedication that Floyd has 🐐🥊. Especially the white hillbillies that are always desperate for a white hope in boxing 🤣
@@nj1255He wasn't cocky he was confident and backed it up.
The announcers are so bias and clueless. Floyd destroyed Chico, beautifully and brilliantly. Well done Chico for being brave and well done referee and trainer for stopping it.
They were 100% bias, it was unbelievable
The pace Floyd put on in this fight is incredible. Many will never know how HARD it is to do this for even 3 rounds lol
Floyd look awful young
His cardio is unreal.. I wonder how many miles he ran to get into this shape
Crazy you say that because Plant vs Benavidez is a prime example of that. It reminded me of this fight stylistically but Floyd never got tired in the slightest like plant did.
@@TheVeteran919 Man Plant was winning those first few rounds until he got off his bike and started giving free hugs
@@TheVeteran919 NO, it was not. Plant started to fade in the second half. Floyd literally never looked like that even in the 12th round of any fight. Stop typing nonsense!
Top Rank held Mayweather back. He got to the next level with Al Hayman and Showtime and that's FACTS!.
They hold all of their fighters back
They did hold him back but remember at this time Oscar De La Hoya was the biggest name in boxing and they were promoting him. This is also why it took so long for them to fight each other.
@@ftejeda23 Bob Arum said it wasn’t any money in a Floyd/Oscar fight…funny how Floyd buys himself out and immediately fought Oscae
100% facts! Floyd ended up being the highest paid athlete ever once he left and got with Al Hayman
@@tcincali9642hell yeah and this fight made so much money imagine what kind of fight it would of been if they fought earlier before Oscar was a dope head lol
The first knock down was TWO left hooks that CONNECTED and one that sailed high... In less than 1 second!!!
Had no idea Floyd paid for Chicos funeral after his death. Classy move by the money Mayweather 🙌
And the co-commentator, the late great Genaro Hernandez. Floyd can be many things outside of the ring, but he shows respect when its due.
He paid for Corrales funeral too.
and he paid for pernell whitaker’s funeral
The Haters' don't care Nothing about The People That They Hate,,, Lives...
@@sydneycampbell4233 100% They hate certain people and can't get past it.... but we have never needed them, only God, and He has favored us.
They hate on him so much
Floyd is the best of the best!! His boxing is art!! Poetry in motion!! Born to do it!! His defense is one thing, but what impresses me the most is his offensive IQ!! No one more intelligent in the ring!! He shuts you down, then takes you out!! Everything works for him from start to finish.
The greatest boxer of all time in my opinion
If he threw more it'd be even more impressive. Like if he had that killer instinct
@@jorge5275he did early in his career before hand injuries.
@@hornkneekneegrow7942 not really? Were they broke in the Castillo fight?
*HE REALLY WAS THE BEST EVER WITH THIS PERFORMANCE* TBE. RIP Chico.
When the best boxers used to actually fight each other and risk they undefeated record!
But I thought people said Floyd Mayweather never fought anyone and that he avoided them at their best? Hmmm 🤔
RIP to Chico, he was one hell of a fighter, but Floyd's nickname is 'Money' for a reason. Put my whole bankroll on Floyd every single fight since like 2006 and never been disappointed.
Ig thats true Respekt
Man he bet on Floyd once and got 20 bucks stop believing niggas bro
Nah u rich 😂
@@finessekid3661 lmao I wish. Floyd was a favorite for most of his career and his odds were super bad that's why you had to bet so much to make any money with him
Mayweather wisely jabs to the body of Corrales to take away his power. Very smart fighter that Mayweather.
Just absolute genius, with that body jab he stuck Corrales with all night. This was his best performance. The one against Chicanito Hernandez was up there too for me. Probably two of the best displays in the history of jr lightweight. Manfredy fight also.
This was good but his performance against Canelo and Cotto were better imo
@@survivingsobriety2562don’t forget the gatti fight that was haarrd to watch
@@mopar_keys I forgot about that, he almost beat him to death made him look like a amateur
Corrales and Canelo were, in my opinion, Floyd's best performances. But I was most impressed with his performance against Canelo because, he was already 36 years of age, yet he fought like he was 28. Incredible how he just dominated Canelo.
@@mopar_keys EXACTLY what I was thinking! That Gatti fight watching as a young kid made believe he was the best. As an adult, I thought how much of a warrior Gatti was too. A lot of fighters would've quit sooner
Floyd's engine was incredible!! Dude never stopped. And it's beautiful seeing all the bravado dissipate after the fight and Mayweather's love pouring out. He's a good guy at the core.
This is not only his best performance, this is this most complete performance in the ring in boxing history! Floyd had all the tools.
So... What would YOU say is his "best" then??? Or are you just one of THOSE guys...
I disagree with you and the title man. Best performance was against Gatti. It was literally a man vs boy performance, a hof’er vs an part time amateur…it was that dominant.
How is it the most complete?
@@theonewhoisbetterthanyou3570 Good point on the Gatti fight, but I don´t think those 2 were his best performances. Why? Because neither could compete with him and Floyd just ran through them. He mainly showed off his offensive prowess those nights. I think the Alvarez and Cotto fights will always be the ones where Floyd showed off most of what he could do. And the Berto fight as well. Offense, defense, experience, ring generalship... he showed it all. And Cotto actually pushed Floyd, so he made him show grit and fortitude as well.
@@SuperCrazyEstonian i also like that about the Burton fight. Emmanuel gave Floyd a fight and Floyd showed a lot in that fight too. Like in all his fights he had great shot selection and i think in the Burton fight he showed impeccable body punching, level changes, and aggressive defense. He always set up his counter to the body of Burton using his bobbing/weaving.
I wonder if who the commentary was ROOTING for???
No joke, I could not believe Chico lost this fight the he did when I heard about it. Chico was destroying everyone, bad. RIP to one of the greats.
Floyd the best
the best part of this fight, was when Floyd Sr. and Jr. embraced.....POWERFUL MOMENT!!!!!
Yes i have been looking for this comment. That was so nice to see, this is why Floyd is one of the greatest ever, he was intensely humble. His reaction when beating Genaro is very emotional to watch because he had realized his dreams of being champion.
Man what a strong bond Floyd and the dad has that’s that you have beef with your dad but they love and you love him the most type a love can tell his dad was proud of him for the words Floyd was saying to him at the end can see how happy his dad was for him
That father and son moment at the end 😢
Floyd’s pops is a boxing savant. Told his son exactly when Corrales was ready to drop. That’s years of wisdom.
Mayweather once did a training session where he none stopped punching the bag for 50 minutes straight litrelly 2 seconds between each punch. So he does 12 rounds so easy never gets tired
He sparred 15 minute rounds, with two different fighters switching each round! TBE!
plus 10 miles of running daily and 15 rounds with a new sparring partner each round, and those rounds last from 10 to 20 minutes each. fresh as the first round in the last round guaranteed.
Masterful performance. Chico was no joke.
Am I the only one who wanted to cry when Floyd was crying and telling his dad I LOVE YOU and IM SORRY DAD.
😢 Nope!.. I was searchin' for a kleenex too😢😂😂 *Factz*
The fact that Floyd REFUSES to talk about this "fight"/BEAT DOWN, even though it is one of his best performances, probably his BEST performance of all time, it just shows you what an incredible human being he really is and the level of RESPECT he has for his craft... Same thing with the Arturo Gatti fight/WHOOPIN... Floyd is CLASS!!!
And after all the insults chico threw at him. He paid for chicos funeral and never said a word. Chico wife came forward and said floyd did that for his family. TBE!! people find reasons to hate him and he cashes in on it.
@@TheLibra926 floyd threw the insults
@@david-lm7iu nope floyd whooped his ass
@TheLibra926 boi can't read nobody said he didn't whoop his ass I said floyd threw the verbal insults 🤡🤡
@@TheLibra926 yup big difference 😂
The commentators hate so much on Floyd it’s crazy
These commentators really wna help Corrales so bad
Coralles had no answer for that left hook, he was getting punished with it all night
I Liked Coralles, And He Was A Banger! But Floyd Just Outclassed Him!
My favorite version of Floyd. Before he hurt his hands.
Yea I think he actually really hurt it this fight (right)
I was to young to see this version of him but this version better then Money mayweather, quicker, faster, stronger
When you watch this fight never forget that Corrales is a very skilled fighter with fast hands. He had the height and reach advantage. Despite that completely owned.
I initially thought he should’ve boxed on the outside, but then I realized that when a fighters mobility and hand speed is way faster it doesn’t matter. When Corrales would miss Floyd would quickly step in and deliver punches that barely catches the human eye. Unreal. The best chance he had was to throw combinations and hope it hurt Floyd.
You can tell Floyd was hurt fighting with out his dad in the ring. Talking to him on the side gave him the courage to get the job done. I’m glad they all made up before he passed 🔥🔥
Floyd Sr isn’t dead. His uncle Roger passed
Lmao casual…. Floyd sr is alive. Roger passed away
Wtf is u talking about 😂😂
@@Basedmike17 bro ur 7months late lol I already got corrected… get a life instead of scrolling through YT comments
@@BiggBlamm how you mad because you ain't know something? Your comment was like the 3rd comment from the top but u wouldn't know that either because u a little slow
Commentator was talking of the future that never come, Floyd is untouchable
Floyd was an absolutely master. To make such a great fighter like Diego barely throw a punch.
All of Floyd Mayweather's meetings were victories, which makes it refreshing and confident to rewatch his fights. You can watch and appreciate his skill and study why he was above his opponents.
Floyd with those underrated jabs to the body lol, just to faint and set up them lighting fast left hooks
Floyd has me in tears. Man. Beautiful career. Stand up guy.
Roy was a G for giving Mayweather Sr his credentials so he could go in the ring after the fight! Without Roy, they wouldn't have had that beautiful moment! Love
crazy how floyd managed to take the pressure of a fighter come at him and still being able to keep defense and attack as good as eachother
Floyd really was the best boxer of all time,and its not even close he had everything,he just wasnt the fan favourite but he literally destroyed everyone
Love this fight bc it shows two examples of great Fathers
I heard somewhere that FMJ still helps the family of Corrales (RIP) and paid for Genaro Hernandez' (RIP) funeral.
Genaro Hernandez: you a good champ Pretty boy: Thank you Genaro : you a good champ and you’d be a champ for a long time…….
Floyd mayweather jr is the greatest boxing of all time love or hate more skills speed and power
True
Nossa cara que luta incrível, foi linda a vitória do Floyd 😊
Jesus Floyd’s form was so crisp
Best part of the fight was HIM & HIS DAD!!!!❤️💯
Everyone talks about Roy vs Vinny Paz "round 4" and how Roy didn't get hit... But Diego didn't land ONE punch in round 7!!!
Mayweather fans always make up their own stories. Corrales landed 4 punches in that round. Floyd should have been disqualified and lost the fight. He committed a double foul in the 7th round. He hit Corrales on the back of his head, foul #1. Corrales was down on one knee for 2 seconds before he got hit, foul #2. That's the same thing Roy Jones did and they DQ'D him. It was Roy's first loss.
@MrMarco855 lol... giving up the back of your head should not win the fight... white dudes always find ways to discount Floyd's greatness... sorry non of your "hypes" were able to dethrone the king... bet you think "Conor did pretty well" in their fight too... lol
Never realized that was Roy that gave Floyd Sr his credentials to be able to enter the ring, dope stuff
Chico in the 1st round tried some fair but dirty boxing and Mayweather showed him he can play that game very well with a push off after that chico plan switch and Mayweather does what he do turns a fight into a boxing match
The best moment of this fight was wen Floyd hugz his Dad Can't get no sweet than that. Rip I miss my dad love always ASKIA 💯
How people can hate this legend..
It’s usually the white folks that are so desperate for a white hope so they hate on greatness like Floyd 🥊🐐
_Going into this Fight, Corrales was ranked:_ *#5 Pound For Pound.* The people that claim “Mayweather didn’t have a great resume”-are living in a Fantasy Land. He beat Fighters that were ranked: *P4P* _#2, #2, #3, #5, #8, #8, #9;_ As well as multiple _other_ Ring Champs, and a dozen others that were near/at the top of The Ring’s Divisional Rankings. The debate is over, as to “Whether or not “Mayweather is _one of_ the All Time Greats”. The question, is _whether or not-he’s #1._ And I’ve never heard a reasonable argument, for why he’s _not_ #1.
I just say haters gonna hater. This is gonna sound kinda racist 😂 but the only people that hate Floyd or deny his greatness are those who don’t box, don’t know anything about boxing or Mexicans 😂
I will say that Floyd is possibly the greatest ever BUT Ray Robinson@welter and Ray Leonard would have prob beat Floyd but you cannot ever count Floyd out! Floyd beat his opponents with his MIND but Sugar Ray Leonard was very fast and quick and could fight in the pocket beautifully (Leonard brutally dismantled Floyd's Father back in the day when they were prospects). Floyd would have his hands full against Leonard but we'll never know!
@@KeojiMaru”This is gonna sound kinda racist, but the only people who hate Floyd or deny his Greatness-are those who don’t know anything about Boxing - and Mexicans.” I disagree. I don’t think that sounds “kinda racist”. I think it ‘sounds _really_ racist’. It sounds _kinda_ like ‘Misogyny’ - to imply that nobody would dislike someone that savagely-beat the shit out of multiple Women, countless times, in front of Her Children. But, what do I know.
A Masterclass.
His speed is insane
His best performance is against Gatti but this is right up there especially since Corrales was undefeated.
Yo Money is the shit. I love how they talk bad about him in every fight ... They hate to see the greatest boxer ever.. he always make them put some respect on his name... Every fight ... It's didn't start until 26.23 in this fight... But this dude is the GREATEST BOXER EVER.... NO ONE HAS DONE WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR THIS SPORT!
Master in the clinch..using that elbow and attacking right on time.
I still get sad seeing Chico. Dude was a warrior. He said after this fight he'd rather die in the ring rather than quit. It sucks he died so young.
Floyd is the warrior. “Hardwork! dedication!” - Floyd mayweather jr 🥊🐐
I Love My Brother Corrales!!! May He Always Be Blessed IN THE EVERLASTING KINGDOM OF HEAVENLY FATHER GOD ALMIGHTY... HALLELUYAH
Floyd was incredible. People who talk shit need to watch this fight. Chico was never the same.
Fighters who fought Money Mayweather they are really lucky, They didn't fought Pretty Boy.. An intelligent Beast.. ❤
Exactly!
Only time in Floyd’s entire career he was the betting underdog going into a fight. People thought Diego was going to be number 1 pfp. Floyd had other ideas…
The mayweather that no one talks about.
When he said I am giving all I got yet he wasn’t throwing punches, they should have known right then and there that, that man’s soul had escaped him.
This is the Floyd i really Enjoyed watching to bring me back to boxing. Now i have no idea what is going on everyone is afraid to lose
Amazing info. Well said. Am only wondering about the financial aspect. Aren't there any gym that make a decent outcome of it?
Im on the street Diego died on A few times A week here in Vegas. Lived here when the accident happened I think of him often. He was definitely A Champion level fighter 💯🙏🏾🤙🏾 Floyd just brought extreme heat that night 🔥🔥🔥🤧🤧🤧
People forget before he became “money” it was “pretty boy” and he was knocking people out AND dominating
Man respect to Hernandez who always showed Floyd respect and seen his greatness early on. Rip Hernandez
This is like Crawford Vs Spence in so many ways
It really was. Many parallels.
They was hating like shit on Floyd he was so good he had the commentators going against him 😂😂😂 Goat
Watching this fight for the umpteenth time still confirms just where TBE comes from. At the time, Chico was a monster of a puncher... He was reduced to a punching bag in this fight. Completely outclassed.....
Oh my days THE BODY JAB from Floyd here should be in the sistine chapel. An all time work of art.
I had to come watch this classic after watching the Crawford/Spence fight!
39:62 had me emotional knowing how difficult their relationship was. TBE
I Love this fight so much, i Love all Floyd's fights that was early in his career because you can just see how technical he was.
I love the total class and respect carlos hernandez shows Floyd in his commentary
You mean Genaro Hernandez. He grew up a block away from me I was privileged to know him and his family. Hernandez was a true class act. One of the nicest professional boxers of all time. RIP.
That's because he respected Floyd! He actually boxed Mayweather notice when the other commentator talks negative about Floyd he doesn't say anything....RIP to a class act
Rip Diego Corrales.!!😢 Mayweather masterclass
Corrales was applying alot of pressure but Floyd controlled the distance so well and tagged him whenever he was thinking of throwing a punch.
That was Beautiful picture, never forget. Father & Son.
ABSOLUTELY
diego looked as if he decisively chose to continue fighting each time, even if he didn't launch himself up right away. and it was surprising how well composed he eventually became after floyd's offense had been amounting later on in the bout....
I'd have to say it was Floyd vs Gatti was his best performance
Floyd @ his prime 🏋️🏋️
