Its been reported that Corrales killed himself to make the 135 limit and was living off ice cubes for a whole week and came into the weigh in 5lbs over. This probably means he is too big for 140 as well. So that means he will likely be moving up to welterweight.
Is he a legitament contender @ 147? Even with all the question marks about his chin? And will his power carry over with him with naturally bigger guys?
i dont think corrales could beat judah baldomir mayweather margarito ..but i think he would be 2nd tier with the likes of cotto and williams
How is Cotto and Williams Second Tier? Both Have Perfect Records, and both showed some great talent... They might not be on the same level as mayweather, but def up there with the rest of them....
If margarito is a "first class fighter" then so is cotto and williams......
based on his almost complete disregard for defense, I think moving up a 4th weight class would cost him dearly.
Let's match him up
chico-baldy : baldomir seems to have a sturdy chin, can chico stop him? or can he win enough of 12 rounds? I dont know, but Zab Judah could not do either.
chico-floyd : lol
chico-marg : sheer size would do the trick for tony (KO)
chico-judah : puncher's chance... for both fighters though, and judah can actually defend himself. JUDAH
chico-collazo : collazo is way too big and complete, he would not destroy chico but would win an ugly fight
chico-cotto : both with imperfect chins, both with great power, but cotto is nataurally bigger, faster and is more skilled
as a sidenote, chico@140
chico-castillo : either corrales comes up with something like a plan or castillo is going to fuck him up again
chico-hatton : chico is not going to be able to box hatton, who is fast and good at getting on his opponent chest. chico is not going to stop hatton, as good as his right hand is, hatton neutralized zoo's right hand.
Good post
Chico stans are gonna be :davil2:

I think Floyd beats Corrales 12 times out of 10....
not sure how Corrales' power would carry up to 147...plus he'd be fighting guys who hit a lot harder than who he's be hurt by
lol the first casa fight, his jaw aint look 2 good...
But it wasing because of the jaw it was becuase he had some bleeding inside his mouth.
I am saying that Corrales could hanld a couple of punchs but not all. I though by before they stopped Corrales stared giving Casamayor left hooks and Casamayor did the same.
If you notice after the fight that Casamayor had a bump on his head. but you cant take away the 9 rounds he went through with Castillo fighting his fighting.
yea. but his heart really showed in that fight. u cant NOT call this guy a worrior. Its the reason why all his fights are big events
excellent points homie....
yea. but his heart really showed in that fight. u cant NOT call this guy a worrior. Its the reason why all his fights are big events
He did show he has heart and he is warrior and most of his fights are exciting, im just sayin he has a very suspect chin at lightweight and now he moving up, it will be real tuff 4 him against those big punchers at welter.

Is Mayweather jab is stronger than Castillo uppercuts and hooks?
no ofcourse. If Corrales could stand in front of Castillo for 10 round I think he could fight a full 12 round with another guy if he is fighting his fight.
It just the Mayweather fight where Corrales got a reputation of bad chin. I not saying that his chin is granite but I saying that his chin is not glass and could hold a couple of punchs just watch the Frietas fight.
Its hard to make a judgement from fighting Mayweather, since he almost always beat his opponents in a convincing fashion. There is a reason why a lot of boxing experts regard him as the number 1 P4P fighter in the world.
lol i was jk...
He def has the talent 2 and good enough punch 2 be in that divison, not asure bout his chin... But there can be lots of big fights for him at 147 like cotto, would like 2 see him vs hatton also...
lol i think mayweather answered that question...
huh??? that fight was at 130 pounds...
that fight didnt prove anything other then the fact that chico struggles with slick boxers, which was already known.
at 147, its a whole different story for chico
lol i think mayweather answered that question...

i would love to see chico vs. cotto......that would be a war....i doubt if he goes straight to 147 but he always said his career would max out at 147....and it seems more and more that my boy's hall of fame career might be winding down....
