is Diego Corrales a HOF??

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

no diego was entertaining but not a great fighter.

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.

No, Corrales was not a HOF fighter.

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. Damn dude just give PBF his respect.

I dont really think he is a hall of famer either..

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.

Hell No!!!!!

Yessss......

Wow...this thread again. IMO, yes he is. i wasnt around for the other threads 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. 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

No. He was fun to watch and a hell of a warrior. But he's no Hall of Famer

He was a real good fighter, but an all-time great? I think he just falls short.

If casamayor could competantly make 140, id pick him over anyone there, he is p4p material and one of the most skilled fighters in boxing by far.

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.

He fought Mayweather Castillo Casamayor Frietas All in thier primes Yes is the answer.

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

No he shouldnt 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.

No he shouldnt
