Damn dude just give PBF his respect. He did not fight valiantly he was completely out classed and never should have even been in the ring with PBF the way that fight looked. How did he make the fight? All he did was get battered and abused from start to finish. Out of rounds the fight lasted Corrales only hit PBF with 10 punches in 1 round. Stop hatin on PBF.
Corrales is not a Hall of Fame fighter to me he was a little above average and to me that along with a warriors heart shouldn't get you in the HOF.
Explain to me how I hated on Mayweather. I like Mayweather as a fighter. Chico got up after every knock down, and wanted more. How is that not brave?
yes he fought all the best..but did he beat all?no..he was a good entertaining figher most def..but no he shouldnt be..just bcuz the guy is dead (r.i.p) doesnt mean they automatically get a place in the HOF
i wasnt around for the other threads
so u dont think tyson is hof??
the youngest heavyweight champ of all time??
yea i think chico is hof based on the opposition he faced and wins he was able to get
to compare him to gatti is crazy
Certainly a case could be made for Tyson going to the hall of fame on being the youngest Heavyweight champ ever and I would not dispute such a case. However when comparing Chico's record with Tyson's, there's no comparison. As far as in ring accomplishments go, Corrales has a far better resume IMO.
And I agree with you on both of your other points as well. There is no rational way someone could compare Gatti to Corrales.
He killed Freitas, who didn't lose much, gave him his first lose. He fought a rising Mayweather valiantly, and lost, but made that fight, regardless. He beat Castillo in one of the greatest fights of modern times, he beat a PRIME Casamoyar, who still doesn't suck as he's the WORLD lightweight champion, and had a decent record. I'd say yes, with no real problem.

Well he's a better case than Gatti. I guess he should get in there somehow. He beat Casamayor, Freitas, Castillo, and some lesser former/eventual champions like Garcia, Gainer and St Clair.
I never considered him the best at any weight he participated at, but he was a good champion who gave us one of the greatest fights around.

Wow...this thread again. IMO, yes he is.

Yeah but Mike Tyson should? The saddest figure in boxing history, who never had the discipline or heart to commit himself after Cus died. The same guy who never beat anybody close to the caliber of men conquered by Corrales.

He fought
Mayweather
Castillo
Casamayor
Frietas
All in thier primes
Yes is the answer.
My point exactly, 3 out of 4 elite fighters isn't a bad percentage. I think people forget exactly how dangerous Castillo, Casamayor and Freitas all were when Corrales conquered them. Dominated in the case of Freitas.

ok.... My answer still isnt changing though.:wave:
