Dear Sirs:
This letter is being written on behalf of the legacy of Fighting Spirit and Skills of Diego “Chico” Corrales. He not only showed us you can make a comeback in your career or particular fight, but in your life as well. He gave the boxing public Ten plus years of his blood, sweat, tears, skills and refusal to quit. He was a destructive force of power disquised by his thin frame and excellent boxing skills. No Matter how many times he was knocked down he tried to get up. Their was no dog in Corrales, he was a throwback to the old days. His heart and will allowed us a glimpse at the past. He provided us with thrills and never took the easier way out on his stool, he was determined to go out on his shield even when outgunned. He was a fighters fighter cut in the mold of Sandy Saddler and hopefully we will see the likes of him again. Judging by todays current state, it is likely they broke the mold. He came back from layoffs back to the top and was written off more than once, but he never quit.
It is the opinion of consensus boxing fans in the know that early consideration for his induction to your great Hall of Fame is warranted in lieu of his tragic demise. Perhaps deticating this years induction ceremony in his honor would be more appropriate.
Frankly the state of the hall inductees has been dwindling in years past outside of the current. Diego “Chico” Corrales should be honored with a posthumous induction at this years proceedings, while his legacy is fresh on the public minds. God forbid he is only a footnote as a forgotten man in five plus years from now like befell so many others.
Please take this into consideration immediately on behalf of the memory and legacy Diego left behind. The fans deserve a true warrior enshrined and Chico does especially.
I liked the letter a lot. You did a great job on it. Its easy to criticize, but notice none of them even gave one specific example of something wrong with it. If you don't agree with the letter don't send it. Those of us that would like to pay tribute really appreciate your efforts buddy. I'll be sending this out with my signature.
Thank you very much, I did notice that.Go to the other thread and post your own thoughts and reasons for consideration at the world boxing hof link I provided.
BPP said he self he had family discover his death from a thread last night. I am sure they didn't mind the letter.

Do you wear a fake beard and Glasses to hide your idenity as well? I bet you change disquises about ten times over the weekend huh? Must get pretty busy for you no time to send an email.
What da fuck buddy i dont know your intentions but i know what i think and dats dat your a fuckin asshole buddy..... of course he wouldnt write shit for us he didnt know us but we knew him, respect it ot fuckin die homey!
Please don't call him Buddy since that is my real name and may confuse some who know me? I don't want to be associated with those moronic statements.
Do you think Deigo would be wasting his time sending letters for you if you died in a crash.
What da fuck dude i dont know your intentions but i know what i think and dats dat your a fuckin asshole ..... of course he wouldnt write shit for us he didnt know us but we knew him, respect it ot fuckin die homey!
I watched your 3rd fight and knew you where a star/
I heard you had past and took it very hard/
it was something like 3 and i had a few beers/
But once i heard the bad news i could only feel the tears/
Im sorry for your family but boxing most of all/
cuz despite a few losses you where still one of the best of all/
You could take a shot, even after been floored/
many prolly think you lost it after floyd/
but i dont think so and i know this now Diego Chico Correlas your in HEAVEN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't epect him too. I am sure you are really busy conjuring up alter egos as we speak and can't be arsed to do something constructive. Like sending a few letters. Mail wouldn't work for you because you would have to use your real name I know. Why are you unbanned again, your non contribution(under this account) to this board was relief for many.

Guys, there are 66,000 of us on boxing scene, why dont we just post parts of the letter we want to be included, or just post suggestions over what we want included.
Im willing to bet money someone who knows him will see this, Boxing scene is the number one forum around, and there are 500+ people viewing NSB at any given time reading our tributes.
Hello some one with a working brain has just posted. Why you are red and these smartasses are green I will never know. They are stupid enough to think if we send thousands of personal letters and emails they want take notice. Induction is a stretch I know, but they will take notice. I asked for help and this cocksuckers were to busy try to flame because they are busy getting their asses kicked in everyday life.
Thanks Man

those ppl you mention are not hall of famers either IMO but 2005 had a very week class we cant have a knee jerk reaction because a real likable fighter die way to early and put him in the hall of fame it has to be 5 years before he can consider for selection.
Can your read, it is not going to happen I know but it is a nice gesture. A section of the ceremony deticated to him is warranted. Go make a new alt since you can only critisize and are too dumb to know Ceuvas wasn't in last years class.
