Pretty Money: The Official Floyd Mayweather Jr. TOP 20 Fights Thread

4. 24(18)-0-0 vs... Diego "Chico" Corrales 33(27)-0-0
January 20th, 2001

This was a mega fight that was years in the making. The classic slick boxer against the heavy puncher match-up was sure to be explosive either way as both were young, strong and champions. Well, Corrales' title was taken away from him due to a misunderstanding between he and his then manager because of weight problems. This was also a bout where Mayweather vowed to punish Corrales for Corrales' domestic violence charge. Corrales would serve his time after the bout pleading guilty for a plea bargin... hey, doesn't this sound familiar?... Either way, one thing to remember when watching this bout is that Corrales was the power puncher who had never been knocked down.

3. 44(26)-0-0 vs... Saul "Canelo" Alvarez 42(30)-0-1
September 14th, 2013

This would be the final time Floyd Mayweather would fight over the 147lb limit and took on the young phenom and champion, Canelo Alvarez. This bout was at a catch-weight of 152lbs on the request of Mayweather. Here, Floyd would be facing someone that threatened his reign as the #1 boxer and #1 superstar in the sport and would have Oscar against him at every turn. Canelo was coming off of a close win over Miguel Cotto conqueror, Austin Trout, and was steadily improving with each bout. This fight would break numerous records in revenue and boost the profiles of both men.

2. 38(24)-0-0 vs... Ricky "Hitman" Hatton 43(31)-0-0
December 8th, 2007

Another fight years in the making that was blocked by the politics of sanctioning bodies and promoter problems. One weight class higher we would get the two top pound-4-pound talents in against each other in a mega fight. Hatton had one prior fight at 147 in which he did not look as impressive as he previously did at 140, however this was against a young champion, Luis Collazo, who is still a legitimate threat at 147, 10 years later. Both were heavy talkers and filled with energy and confidence. This was the first fight, to my knowledge, of Mayweather's that had an international press conference tour. Mayweather solidified his stardom with Oscar, now it was time to solidify his p4p dominance.

1. 39(25)-0-0 vs... "Dinamita" Juan Manuel Marquez 50(37)-4(0)-1
September 19th, 2009

Mayweather had retired 6 months after his win against Hatton while new top p4p stars such as Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez began their rise. Marquez had never fought above 135 and requested a catch-weight of 144, which Mayweather missed by 2lbs. The fight was postponed due to a rib injury to Mayweather which was rumored to be from sparring. Roger Mayweather had also caught a case leading up to the fight date. It was beginning to look more and more like this would just not be Mayweather's night returning from a 2+ year layoff, as Marquez was a new p4p ruler destined to use this bout to spring himself into a 3rd bout with Pacquiao. What we witnessed was not supposed to happen, not like this.... not like this.... at all.

The NDOU fight though was a brutal war; he brought the fight to floyd like very few did touched Mayweather chin a few times and Floyd literally tried to kill that boy for that.....

Breh them africans are tough, I dont know how the fukk he kept eating them punches like that and managed to stay on his feet, than still wanted to keep fighting after the end.

 

[Made Myself A Boss]

If we are ranking on entertainment value the Cotto fight has to be top 5 IMO... Cotto caught Money slipping several times that night... As I was watching it I legit thought he was going to win

Marquez aint shyt

 

[patscorpio]

Lmao your ghost hate has alwayw been consistent. ill give u that

its not hate if its correct breh...ive been deadly accurate about ghost

 

[mag357]

yeah only the corrales and canelo fights i felt were better performances career wise..floyd got touched a little bit in this fight and the beating from this fight prolly laid the foundation of n'dou collapsing in his next fight after

Corrales and the gotti fight... Were his best offense performances imo. When i watched that canelo fight a 2cd and 3rd time, i didnt see it as lop sided as i 1st did

 

[AJtheOne]

Subs

I've seen pretty much all of his fights

 

[mag357]

I agree
Fight gets a bad rap because how easily floyd won, and because he won period.
First 8 rounds were very good.
Manny realized he had no chance after that

Real talk though... Im a huge fan of both May and Pac. I was watching the fight with fam. We're all fighters or just huge boxing fans. I was thinking Manny didnt look right around the 5th round. And my pops was the 1st to say to everybody he thought Pac probly hurt his hands or something. Cause the fight was close early, but Pac hurt May a couple of times. And was getting to him whenever he wanted. There was a moment when Pac had May seemingly hurt again, on the ropes. He throws a couple of punches, th
en backs up. The fight wasnt the same after that

 

[Liquid]

The way he destroyed JMM was incredible.
