....corrales castillo was an absolute war, one champion against another, and it was about heart, skill and being a true champion
clearly the superior fight

I have to say Gatti/Ward. Heart isn't pulling out your mouthpiece to buy time.

I don't care what arguement you use, Gatti and Ward both kicked each other's asses and didn't have to use cheap tactics to get the Job done.

I am not taking away anything from Castillo-Corrales, that fight is right behind it. It was a brutal brutal fight, and both guys showed heart, but gatti/Ward both proved to be the tougher men IMO.

corrales/castillo over gatti/ward.

even on the heart issue.

a level up in (footwork)and just as hard and harder punches absorbed by corrales/castillo.

would of liked to of seen tuneup fights for both before their rematch.

more punishing blows in corrales/castillo.

man...some people says diego has a glass jaw.but he just gets hit. wacked...and he gets back up.castillo has a jaw like an aztec statue.

this should be a kick...ass...classic again.with more theory and less fireworks.

if there was no mouthpiece spitting it would've been such a beautiful ending with corrales getting knocked down twice then turning the tables. because of the mouthpiece spitting it takes some of that spark to it

Level of skill doesn't have anything to do with what fight was a better war. Obviously, Gatti-Ward was the better fight. It was back and forth, bloody, and one fighter has suffered permanent damage from it. The drama was huge and no one spit out their mouthpiece being a *****.

Castillo-Corralles was an awesome fight but it will not go down as great of a fight as Gatti-Ward. Castillo-Corralles was more recent and that's the pure and only reason it gets more rep as of now.

but Gatti-Ward had a controversial call with the low blow, and neither guy got KOed AND most people feel the wrong guy one. How can that bunch of **** be better than a fight with non-stop trench warfare, 2 knockdowns, and a KO? Nice logic

Diego Corrales pulled Rabbits out of the hat constantly. Lets not forget he stood toe to toe with JLC and used his strength to win the fight. Amazing. Lets also not forget he got up off the canvas twice in the 10th to finish JLC.

I am a fan of both fighters and moreso Castillo........but I dont understand the controversy. Corrales HAD A ****ING POINT DEDUCTED FOR SPITTING OUT THE MOUTHPIECE. he paid his dues, and had to deal with JLC hitting him low on several occasions as well.

this whole "Cheapo Corrales" thing is getting ****ing annoying.....because it's simply not true.

Legitimate T.K.O. Victory for the tougher fighter that night IMO.

terrible logic, the quality of fighters is a huge part of how goo the fight is. castillo corrales was more than two club figters going toe to toe becasue they cant box well, it was about skill, power and heart....if its so obvious that gatti ward was a better fight, how come 2/3rds of the people think the opposite?

Wrong. Level of skill has everything to dow ith judging what fight was better.

Gatti/Ward for as tough as those guys are they are pretty low on the skill level.

Castillo/Corrales were 2 legit p4p caliber fighters fighting for the undisputed Lightweight Championship Of The World.

Castillo/Corrales will no doubt go down as a greater fight because you dont get fighters that good fighting like that very often, it only happens ever few years.

I agree with this all the way. This is the absolute truth.

Gatti and Ward both went the distance, they both took some of the nastiest shots, they both took flush power shots like you wouldn't belive. Gatti/Ward all the way.

Gatti/Ward was a great fight but Corrales/Castillo blows it out the water in my opinion.

For me Its Gatti Vs Ward. They both had to gut it out. Going in I didn't think Ward could beat Gatti. But He just kept wearing Gatti down. And took some hellacious shots in the process. Both are great fights though.

The Gatti/Ward fight, in fact all three, were more or less in Gatti's favor, and Ward only won the first one due to a scoring error (one knockdown does not = a 10-7 round. Plus, it wasn't even for a title.

Corrales/Castillo was a meeting of the two best fighters in their division to decide who the king was. On top of that, unlike Gatti/Ward 1, where Gatti boxed most of the fight and "stuck to his game plan", Corrales and Castillo both threw caution to the wind and traded blows in the center of the ring over 10 grueling rounds.

Corrales/Castillo is the better and far more significant fight.


Gatti/Ward to me is a wonderfully entertaining fight, but it doesn't reach the same level.

Coralles vs Castillo was the better fight.2 world class fighters going at it impressed me more than a guy like ward who had 20 plus loses on his record going against Gatti who isn't a world class fighter either.
Neither of these fights are the best example of 2 guys showing heart and 2 guys just going all out.Diego has a pretty bad chin.When you hit him he goes down.So him being knocked down and getting back up isn't special.Gatti has a prett bad chin.Light punching Ivan Robinson was able to hurt Gatti repeatly.The best example of a slugfest between to top of the line fighters was Foreman vs Lyle.To see a guy like Foreman down 2 times in one round is a sight to see.

Maybe you should watch it again, during the late rounds he started boxing again, so at least for half the fight he boxed.

Neither Corrales nor Catillo boxed at all during their war.

was a better fight for one it was a champioship fight to determine the best at their division. it was also just as much of a war as gatti vs. ward but what makes it an overall better fight is the dramatic ending forget the mouthpiece to comeback from 2 knockdowns and win by k.o simply incredible..
