He backed up cause mayweather blocked like 90 percent of his punches and he didn't wanna punch himself out
i was ringside at this fight19. 42(26)-0-0... vs. Miguel Angel Cotto 37(30)2-0This was the 2nd fight at Super Welterweight (154) for Mayweather as he looked to capture another title against defending WBA champion, Miguel Cotto. Cotto, on a 3-fight win streak, had just exacted revenge against his foe, Antonio Margarito, and was looked upon as one of the top fighters in the world under his new trainer, Pedro Diaz. This was a fight that could've happened at 140 but a then inexperienced Cotto opted not to. This would also be Mayweather's final fight under the HBO banner. Roger Mayweather as 2nd chief would also come to an end following this bout.

POST-FIGHT
MAYWEATHER VS. COTTO POST-FIGHT PRESS CONFERENCE
4. 24(18)-0-0 vs... Diego "Chico" Corrales 33(27)-0-0This 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.

9. 18(14)-0-0 vs... Angel "El Diablo" Manfredy 25(20)-2(1)-0Angel, Devil, whatever he called himself at the time, was no joke. He had notable wins over guys like John Brown, Jorge Paez and fan-favorite, Arturo Gatti. Despite Floyd's victory over Genaro Hernandez, he was still viewed as inexperienced and young. Facing another strong, young, lion was going to be the test even though he had just... well you know the narrative. Only thing is... 130lb Mayweather was a BAD...BAD...MAN.

@SuikodenII great thread breh appreciate the backstories to each.
No problem with your list at all. My personal favorites for whatever reason are
Gatti, Corrales, Cotto, and The Drunken Master EA
The way he dominated Canelo was
PBF is how I'd like to remember Floyd, i got big respect for defense but when he was letting them hands fly
PBF probably would not have lasted at the rate he was going (hand injuries, damage etc) if he didn't switch up his style it was essential to his longevity.
The best 24-7 was Shane Mosley got damn the ether was abundant when Mosley tried to say Floyd wanted to be like him ...I don't even know who the fukk you are
Im sure u watch pac... Pac never backs up in that position. Both those fighters have the GOAT conditioning and stamina. That was very different from any pac fight that ive see. When he has u on the ropes, seemingly hurt or not, he just keeps going with his flurries. So to have thought something was alil off. And then for them to say he got hurt at that time.... Very crazy coincidence. May could have still won the fight. He was looking great. But the fight overall would have been more exciting
Dude was demonic for real then turned Jesus freak and now crazy (with possible damage)
...what this game will do to youPacquaio got you fooled if you think he was hurt breh
