Boxing Talk is reporting that the two are in talks for a Feb. or March bout where Diego would move up to 140.

:eek: Tszyu via mid round KO :cool:

:eek: Tszyu via mid round KO :cool:


i agree, i hope chico gets fighter of the year honors, but he dont move enough and he cant absorb Tszyu's power.

I thought I heard all these people questioning KT chin when we had the Tszyu-Mayorga topic, and Chico is #for# one of the hardest punchers in boxing, and with his height he could probally carry his punch to 140, and maybe even have more power since he was having a hard time making weight

:eek: Tszyu via mid round KO :cool:


This fight SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, it'd be a total mismatch. Corrales would not be able to use his height effectively for 12 rounds to keep Tszyu from showering him with huge inside punches. Chico would need to stay out of arm's reach of Tszyu for the majority of the fight. It has been said that Chico has serious mental lapses during his fights, he'd forget what he was supposed to do and start slugging with KT, then get caught with terrible punches and probably be forced to lean back. Mainly the reason for this would be the weight difference. Tszyu weighs in at 140, On fight night his weight jumps up to north of 154. Corrales would find himself fighting a junior middleweight who is a big puncher. i don't want to see Corrales get KTFO'd... This fight if it has to happen would be better for Chico at 147, then he could be around 150+ on fight night, but i still think Chico will be forced to lean back


As Fat Joe and half asian_sensation says : " Even Roy Jones was forced to lean back "

Maybe, but how would he react if KT connects on a booming right cross?? just imagine the fight with floyd, and KT is a legit 140lbs power hitter :cool:

exactly
he was cleary outgunned by mayweather
i serioulsy doubt floyd hits harder and as often as tszyu
floyd likes to throw in a hard ass shot for every 15-20 normal shots
tszyu on the other hand brings hard short shots and nothin but them
corrales is goin in ovr his head in this one
if anyone is gonna beat him
its gonna be someone above the 140ld division
all the 140 guys have a great chance but i just dont see them beaten tszyu

how about OSCAR vs Tszyu at 147

i say oscar by KO

how about OSCAR vs Tszyu at 147

i say oscar by KO


nah, i say Tszyu by left hook to the liver

i know it would probably be stupid but i know id bet alot of $$$ on the underdog corrales :D who knows, maybe hes body will get stronger moving up in weight. i think its worth the gamble lol

Biggest problem for Chico is is propensity for taking right hands. Not a good thing going into a fight with Tszyu. Two of my faves, it would be a hard fight to watch.

Oh, dear God, please make this fight happen!
I pick Kostya in the late rounds, with both guys hitting the canvas before it's over.

i agree, i hope chico gets fighter of the year honors, but he dont move enough and he cant absorb Tszyu's power.
Couldn't have said it better.

I had done this forums b4, mostly everone said Kostya, IMO I would go with him too, I would just like to see how he takes some of Chicos punches

Maybe, but how would he react if KT connects on a booming right cross?? just imagine the fight with floyd, and KT is a legit 140lbs power hitter :cool:
You cant compare Floyd to Tszyu. Floyd's power never hurt Chico. Just because you get knocked down 5 times dont assume it was because the guy just had too much power for Chico. He got KO because of Floyd's speed. Half of those knock downs werent even hard shots. They were just so quick and caught him off guard. Just like the Cassamora knock downs. It was the speed, not the power. Do you guys forget that he just faught Frietas. Now who hits harder Floyd or Frietas. Frietas is also one of the #for# hardest punchers in boxing. He caught Chico with some dynamite shots and Chico never was even close to going down.

dont forget that Kostya is the hardest hitting 140 pounder in a long time. Just based on power i pick KT by a KO.Chico is good but not that good.

Dude what are you talking about? You act like Chico doesnt put on weight. When he faught Floyd at 130 he came into the ring at 147. I guarentee you that Tszyu wont way that much more than Chico on fight night, infact I would say that Chico would be the bigger man. Also guys dont forget that Chico was sparring with Mitchell before the Tszyu fight. So obviously his camp must of seen something in the sessions to make them feel like he can handel the weight with know problem. Plus his camp has the same promoters as Mitchell and they were all at the fight, so why wouldnt these guys be scared to let their other big money fighter fight the guy who just killed their other big money guy. I'm telling you they know something that we dont, and they must feel that Chico will be at his strongest in this weight class. Theres not that much differenc between Chico and Harris size wise so why do you guys think that Harris can hang with Tszyu and not Chico. Think of all the big fight experience Chico has. He's ready for this fight and ready to shock the world. You guys already said that Zoo eats up boxers but has problems with big power fighters like Phillips, and Chico has problems with boxers and eats up bangers. I know you all think that Zoo can box, but he wont move like Floyd, Joel, and wont jump around like Frietas. I'm telling you this will be a toe to toe blood bath and I've never seen anyone go toe to toe with Chico and win, but I have seen Phillips do it to Zoo. People always talk about Zoo's punches but Chico's punches from all angles. Straight punches, sharp punches, and for being so tall this guy has the shortest most powerful hooks in the business. This one has upset written all over it

I'd like to see Chico fight more at 140 before moving up to 147. No reason to go up and risk his top spot. However, due to his frame, I fully believe he would handle the weight. It would just be a matter of him handling KTs power early before he delivers his own.

yah, kostya and chico could weigh the same the day of the fight but look at how much taller corrales is :confused: lol just the thought of kostya landing shots on that lanky body makes me cringe. he should rematch mayweather instead

kostya by ko. corrales could make 140 which would probably be his peak while kostya can be effective at 147. hes too big and strong

That fight was at Jr.Lightweight. If Chico moves to 140, by fight night, he'd probably bulk-up to the same weight as KT. Chico is a live underdog for this fight. He's a got pop with both hands & a stiff jab. KT isn't a mover, he'll be there to hit unlike PBF. I could see KT thinking he's alot stronger & thinking Chico's power won't hurt him & him getting caught. KT has a tendency to back straight up or lean back when he gets popped with a good shot. Big mistake agaist a taller straight puncher.
