Ah, this fight would be a BLOODFEST! It would be both guys tearing into each other, but Corrales pulling out the tko win, mid to late rounds. His height, defense and better boxing ability would have won out over Gatti.
i love gatti to death but i gotta admit, this is one of many fantasy fights that he loses.
gatti was big for SFW, LW, and jr welter, but corrales was so much bigger than gatti and had a much much bigger punch.
gatti would probly stick around until at least the 8th, by then chico would be teeing off on thunder and some1 would stop the exciting brawl.
chico by mid-late round TKO.
both 99 heart... both fall easy... chico is the better puncher and boxer by far... both lack in the defense department... wow... i think i'd go with chico
No he wasnt.
Gatti was never a good boxer.
He showed pretty decent boxing skills against Patterson.
But Corrales is a bigger guy than Patterson, and obviously a bigger puncher and different type of fighter.
Gatti was used to being bigger than his opponents at 130 and 135, and even at 140, but Corrales was pretty big for those weight classes as well.
Gatti gets initially hurt or dropped fairly easily. He;s been hurt or dropped by plenty of guys who aren't big punchers. He's just nearly impossible to put away because of his heart.
But a sustained beating from a big puncher like Corrales is another story.
Corrales would tear Gatti up. He threw his punches much straighter, shorter, and has those quick combos. Gatti's combos are wider and have to travel more distance. Chico was so good at shortening his punches, a reason why he often chose to fight on the inside despite his height.
Gatti has a great punchers chance, and can take punishment too. I think Corrales was the better fighter overall, but if theres one thing Gatti can do its brawl. And it would be a brawl from the opening bell.
Diego was by far the better boxer skill wise, But this fight 10 times out of 10 ends in a brawl. I got Chico by late TKO. I take it this fight is at light welter
