At 140, Castillo and Corrales would both get revenge on him

147lbs. max if you ask me. He's a big puncher, but let's not be fooled.

I agree with jack.

Voted that 147 is his max. But he should stay at 135 and just try to dominate the light weight division and pick off the super featherweights as they come as challengers.

Why stay at 135?

He beat Castillo, Castillo beat Julio, Juan is ok but nothin special..

Corrales should get the big money fights in mayweather, cotto, gatti, hatton, harris, tszyu, etc.

For one thing 135 pounds lightweight is one of the premier divisions, one of the 7 original weight classes. Duran made his name just by dominating the lightweight division for a long period of time Corrales should do the same thing that Duran did at light weight and Hopkins does at middleweight.

There is no way Corrales would beat Floyd at 140 or any other weight. Corrales may have beat Castillo, but lets not get ahead of yourself. In a rematch, Floyd would beat Corrales convincingly.

agreed but as always corrales has a punchers chance..I'd just like to see it again so there are no excuses of corrales draining himself to make 130...it will be at 140 where corrales power is much greater then floyds...but mayweather would still win i believe

i see corrales more powerfull then anyone up to 147. especially on the inside.tszu has power but his 5'7 heighth and 67" reach would give corrales the edge. cotto is unproven to me yet. hope corrales can learn to use his heighth and reach advantage. he's getting better every fight. he fought castillo's fight and his now unquestionable chin helped him win. can't wait for a *****mouth floyd rematch. corrales will have him running scared.

Cotto would KO Corrales in a heartbeat.

As much as Corrales is game, its hard for me to pick against Kostya if they fought,he always finds a way to land that big right hand.Although i will admit that i wouldnt be surprise if he won, he has showned some whiskers, u had to be impress last night with some bombs he took until it eventually caught up to him in the 10th.

man i really think you cant use their last fight as a reference.corrales was handicapped and was loosing the fight before he got into the ring. he knew he was going to prison and the paycheck for that fight was court ordered to go to his wife/girlfriend. the next time around it will be on level playing field. yes floyd could out box him. but corrales is getting better every fight. and has more power. we will see hopefully.

Dude probably has 140 power, but unfortunately has a 130 chin. I don't think he should go too far up in weight, though I would watch him fight anywhere, anytime, any weight if I could...

corrales def has a btter chance in a rematch with floyd
think about it
chicos only hope is a lucky punch
lately floyd been lot more willing to take punches and mix it up
not that hes tunring into some warrior
but hes been willing to take a lil more
chico would makem pay
but in the end
he prolly still loses a decision
but he does have a good chance

I say 147. He has the power, size, and handspeed to move up. But Chico is so lethal at lightweight. A true freak in that division.

Convincingly? Nah

Floyd at 130 was very fast on his feet and could get on his bike for 12 rounds. At 140, Floyd would not be able to do that and we are talking about a Prime Corrales fighting Mayweather.

I still would pick Mayweather to win in a close fight.

I can see him maturing into 154 maybe even 160 the guy is super tall.

You're wrong. Floyd still has the same speed and defensive prowess at 140. Plus, Corrales has trouble hitting moving targets. He would get frustrated and lose his cool. Also, Corrales was in his prime when he fought Floyd at 130. Floyd would make easy work of him at any weight.

man i think you guys are being shortsighted. mayweather takes long layoffs and has only fought corley at 140. there is no proof he's brought his power up in weight. on a level playing field with a hungry revenge seeking corrales against a clown like mayweather who so far has gotten by on his fantastic natural born abilities . *****mouth floyd isnt the smartest and could make the mistake of being drawn into a phone booth punch out by corrales. and man, corrales is getting better every fight.if goossen can get him to fight more on the outside this guys going to rule. the dancing and prancing and lack of power plus mayweathers not known chin could leave him on the downside against a tszu or corrales.

I'd pick Mayweather to beat Corrales again. Corrales looked WAY impressive last night bcuz everyone saw that Chico's punches are lethal.Let's be realistic though, Mayweather aint Castillo who will go forward constantly towars Corrales. He's speed and agility is difficult to overcome fo Chico.
Mayweather will outpoint him again and possibly drop him, AGAIN! It wouldn't be as one sided as the 1st one though! Believe that!

Don't let Corrales's victory of Castillo cloud your judgement. Corrales is the same fighter he was at 130. Floyd would not make a mistake against Corrales. Remember, in his last 9 fights, Corrales has been floored 10 times, five of which was by Floyd. Perhaps, if you pray to God long enough, your fantasy may become reality. :D
