I recieved an email back from Morales, writer of Chico article.

Thanks for the comments...I don't have to defend myself. I think I made my feelings perfectly clear... Hello, I just wanted to inform you, that not only are you an awful writer, but a coward to boot. Your article on Diego Corrales has been read by man boxing fans, and offended nearly all of them. To write an article about a fallen hero not even a week after his death is not only wrong and in bad taste, but it is also very disrespectful. This man made a mistake, and at 29 years of age, has every right to do so. Unfourtanetly, he paid with his life, isn't that punishment enough? But I would assume someone with a pen and paper could write a degrading article about a man who is no longer living. What does that make you Mr. Morales? Does that make you a man? Are you a man because you can re-open Corrales casket and throw more disrespect onto him? This man was 29 years of age, and had everything going for him. He did not mean to die, it was not on purpose, it was an accident. For you to write an article in the nature you did and point fingers at a man with far greater character than you ever have is downright sick. If you have an rebuttle, please feel free to write back to me. Of course, I expect you'll wait until I'm deceased, coward. -Billy I replied once again, and basically asked to see the articles he wrote about Diegos "foolish character" before diegos death. I then told him, I doubted they existed.
