there is no way any fight this year will be as good as the one i just witness. Many people beleive the Floyd vs. Gatti will take fight of the year but that will just end up being a boxing clinic put on by Floyd. Corrales and JLC just went to war. Although i would have liked to see the fight continue, I think JLC would have just been hurt more, which is not what you want to happen to a great fighter. Where does this put both fighters in the P4P rankings?

I really dont know. Pretty damn high. JLC was already ranked really high on my list, but corrales ranks up there now. The way These two fought tonight was different than Gatti V.S. Ward. These two are highly skilled, and showed the same resolve.

Good damn question. I dont like those kinds of lists, because fighters are always underestimated and left out.

i alreayd had castillo in the top 5 because of his level of opposition.....so now corrales is up there. I think corrales might have locked up fighter of the year.....or maybe its gonna be castillo?..corrales beat castillo and freitas the best in the division.......so I think he locked up fighter of the year alreayd

They will both go in the hall of fame cuz of this battle

and I really feel honored to have Corrales from my hometown...

If Freitas continued he could've been in Castillo or Corrales's place...even if you dont win, dont mean u discgraced...

I would love to see a rematch

This was not just fight of the year, no **** it was lol...but I think it would be the best fight ever since Hagler-Hearns, maybe even better..

Fight of the Year, no doubt.

With regards to the P4P ranking, i dunno. If Castillo finished Corrales in the 10th round, he would've been probably 5th or 6th P4P, but he lost. With regards to Chico, he won but he was knocked down twice, which shows his chin is still suspect and doesn't deserve a P4P status.

Remember, Gatti-Ward fights were great, but that didn't make them P4P best fighters in the sport.

When I heard this fight was made,I automaticly thought this is a sure bet Fight of the Year Candidate.There's alot of interesting fights coming up,but I doubt any of them will be able to top Corrales-Castillo.

Remember, Gatti-Ward fights were great, but that didn't make them P4P best fighters in the sport.

Did you just compare these two to Gatti and Ward? LOL.

This fight was tactical, but a VERY brutal one, both had gameplans, but also traded while at it....

This will go in the books as one of the greatest and it is trilogy material...

It will beat Graziano-Zale...

I hope they have a rematch in Chicos home town!!!!!!!1

Then I would be there:D

This fight is the best we've had this millennium by far, it would be interesting to see how it compares to the big fights of yesteryear.

Amazing, simply amazing.....I couldn't believe my eyes. This may be because it's fresh in my mind, but I think that was most incredible fight I have ever seen. How bout Joe Goosen telling Chico "you better ****in get his ass now" after the second knockdown and the point taken for spitting out the mouthpiece. I thought it was over at that point. Chico showed great resolve. I think the referee owed Castillo a couple more seconds before he stopped it. No doubt he was hurt, and I can see why he stepped in...but Castillo always looks bad when hit with clean shots. His neck isn't strong at all, his head is always snapping when he's hit. Anyway....kudos to both guys, very well spoken and nice people as well as shown in the post fight interview. This is what boxing should be, they are great examples of why we love the sport.

This fight is the best we've had this millennium by far, it would be interesting to see how it compares to the big fights of yesteryear.

The reason why these two are the best two warriors, is because of the way they ate huge bombs from eachother. Look at Barrera V.S. Morales, or Morales V.S. Pac...they never really connected with huge staggering punches that made each other disco dance like this fight. Yes the fights were exciting....but no where near the drama in this one.

They were literally killing eachother. They were fighting in close quarters the entire god damn time. Nothing but an all out war from these guys. Not a technical thing about this fight, just attempted murder from the two.

Fight of the Year, no doubt.

Are you that stupid???

Because Corrales got knocked down he doesn't DESERVE a p4p status?

I guess we can take Pacquiao, Mayweather, Ali, Louis, Robinson, Hearns out of the list...

That is the stupidest **** i've ever heard....

The thing that everyone started likin Chico for was cuz EVERYONE thought he was done after the 2 knockdowns...

but he came back to finish Castillo...

Chico = Sac Town Baby!!



yea, by the way saying he doesn't deserve p4p status because of his whole chin issue doesn't make sense bro...

Yeah, that's like saying Vida can't have one of the best asses because her ass cheeks are too big. That's what we should appreciate most! Like Corrales ability to get off the canvas after he looked done, to finish off a great fighter. In the same round no less.

The whole time I was thinking

CHICOS GONNA GO DOWN ANY SECOND!!!

but it happened a lot later than I expected...

These guys were takin BOMBS from each other

I never seen a fight this brutal

In 20 years when I have kids that are old enough to watch boxing, I can tell them, I got a old tape for you guys to watch, ever hear of Castillo-Corrales? One of the greatest fights ever..

They'll be like "WHAT YOU HAVE THAT FIGHT!?!??!?!" "LETS WATCH IT"


LOL

You just earned your self some karma

If you ever say anythin bad about Vida I would have to kill you:D

(not talkin about you, and yes I am joking)

or am I :confused:

You're missing the point bro. The point why I'm not making Chico P4P is not just because of the knockdowns but because he just didn't impress me that much. I was overly impressed by his courage and heart but not so much by his skill and chin. A decent puncher in the 135 lb. division would've had a chance to KO Chico and take away that P4P status.

And before you start calling people stupid, why don't you wear your hat properly and stop taking a **** in front of the camera.

Dude, I just laughed at his remarks cause it made me laugh; where's all this **** coming from? Noob? Man, I've got more posts on 4 forums than you have here and you only registered a few months before me and got me by less than a thousand posts.

I've read some of your remarks regarding boxing and that's it. Every time I LOL, I gotta post a damn disclaimer?

I would love to see a rematch of chico and mayweather man I can't wait to see this fight

It's cool bro. I don't know why it seems like everyone's so defensive. I'm easy going and just trying to learn a little more about boxing in the boxing forums.

In the OT forums ... well, weird **** is supposed to happen there. I apologize too, yo.

you just said the right words brother!!! this fight shocked me alot!! my whole family was jumping up and down with that devilish 11th round!!! one for the books!!!

FIGHT OF THE YEAR!!!

TWO DEVILS FIGHTING EACH OTHER!!! AND WHAT A FIGHT THAT WAS!!!

am i being sadist if I demand a rematch?

I would rather see a rematch with Casamayor, or Mayweather, I would hope this fight with Castillo doesnt slow him down, in a rematch Corrales would just box on the outside to a fairly easy victory, unless he desides to crowd please again, almost all his fights are great.

what do you mean by saying this fight may slow corrales down? :confused:

this fight, i think, is a momentum booster... as far as I know, any athlete who wins big in big fights propel him to higher level

I'm saying that I hope there isnt a rematch cause its not worth it, the only rematchs that should be made is Casamayor/Mayweather, or let Castillo rematch Casamayor in Miami to see who gets one.

well, i think you do have a point here.... a KO is a KO and a very convincing win, probably he may not have a point to prove anymore. casamayor is better "career option" rather than mayweather.

just reading your post guys gives me goosebumps...

when can I hope to see this fight at the download section ???

yo brother! it was a mother___ng fight!!! one of the greatest comebacks i've seen... it was a tug-of-war for the first ten rounds... and that 11th round.... two knockdowns scored by castillo but corrales never gave up.... threw successive right-left hooks... castillo going nowhere -- but to dreamland :boxing:

Greatest fight of the generation

It may even be one of the greatest fights ever

It's on the same level as Hagler-Hearns, if not, then better...

it was better dude.... better

Can you guys stop rubbing it in??!! Spare a thought for an Aussie who didn't get to see it!

Yup, in the middle of the 6th round, without absolutely no idea what the outcome was going to be, I starting thinking that it is going to take an incredible fight during the remaining of the year to top this one. I think that Hagler/Hearns is one of the best fights ever and this one tops it, IMHO. Not as intense as the first round of The War, but the sustained amount of traded bombs over the lenth of the fight ... wow.

edit ... I got a little confused which of these threads I was reading ... either way though, fight of the year or one of the best of all time, it's the same to me with this fight.

can't wait to see the fight bro !!!

when people said pacquiao-morales was an early favorite for fight of the year, then they were just proven wrong... this fight is going to be hard to dethrone for the fight of the year plum... props to both fighters...

damn this has been a great yrear for boxing, these where both great fights

I dont think there was ever a fight that good

It was prolly better than Pryor-Arguello and Hagler-Hearns

It killed Gatti-Ward, Barrera-Morales, and Holyfield-Bowe...

JLC and Chico will be remembered forever....

Easily fight of the year. Chico-Castillo ranks right up there with the great fights of all time.

How you gonna say fight of the year when it's only May! I swear every time there's a decent fight people are claiming FOTY! FOTY! Give me a break. At least wait until November before you try and predict the future...7 months early is stupid! Ruiz-Toney was better fight than this anyway!

I like Castillo in a rematch due to the fact that his chin is better;
Castillo just allowed his chin to be worn by not fighting at all a tactical fight. Castillo will dominate the fight from the outside and go inside on occation and pick his shot on corrales and TKO him in 8 or 9

If boxing were like sex you people would be minutemen! Quit blowing your loads so early when we got half the year left.

yea its up for nomination i think

damn this has been a great yrear for boxing, these where both great fights
these boxers, organizers, promoters were very good to all boxing fans ;)

Castillo - Corrales handsdown. An opinion of a pacfan.

I likes the toney ruiz fight but it does not compare to this fight, not even close

these boxers, organizers, promoters were very good to all boxing fans ;)

i'm sorry, in this post i was replying to another post that mentioned Pacnam vs EM. I thought it was better than that fight.

As brutal, as mind-blowing a fight as I have ever seen.

This fight eclipses Gatti-Ward & Barrera-Morales because the action equaled, if not surpassed, the action in those fights...& unlike those...had a dramatic KO finish.

Unbelievable !

Boxing at it's best !

Thought you would enjoy it Jabs. Good result for Mr Corrales.

great fight! this may very well be fight of the year....but there are tons of great fights this year...tons

Yeah, that's like saying Vida can't have one of the best asses because her ass cheeks are too big. That's what we should appreciate most! Like Corrales ability to get off the canvas after he looked done, to finish off a great fighter. In the same round no less.
Not a good comparison, 'cause that Vida gal really does have a nasty, fat ass. In 4 or 5 years she'll be just another pig that used to have a pretty face. Women should be slender and proportionate, not bulbous and bulging. Yuch.

great fight! this may very well be fight of the year....but there are tons of great fights this year...tons


No fight has come, or will come, close to this fight.

Seriously....what fight had the non-stop, power-punching of this fight ? What fight had the FINISH, the incredible finish, of this one ?
It doesn't get any better.

I can't think of any, Foreman/Lyle was pretty close.

How you know that? Are you Ms Cleo now? It's only May!

I can't think of any, Foreman/Lyle was pretty close.
Yep, I'll agree with you on that one. Foreman/Lyle was a damn all-out war with a great finish.

Is there any way Tito/Wright can match the action in this fight? I don't think anyone can go blow for blow with tito.

I can't think of any, Foreman/Lyle was pretty close.


Dude......I didn't know Foreman-Lyle happened this year !


Pretender.....

There's just no way there will be another fight like that this year. There hasn't been a fight like that this decade. It was better than Gatti-Ward I & Barrera-Morales I.

it has to be one of the top 10 fights of all time. i wanted corrales to win but when i saw what he was doing in the first couple of rounds i did'nt think he had a chance. great, great fight. nothing will beat it this year, possibly this decade.
