Come to think of it, I change my mind, I was thinking back to the 130 pound version of Gatti, the one with two victories over Tracy Harris Patterson. Gatti was at his very best during this time. He grabbed the IBF jr Lightweight title in the first fight. He boxed smartly and didn't foolishly go to war as he did in so many of his succeeding fights. And in the fights following his victories of Tracy, he seemed to fade, so yes, I changed my mind and pick Chico to win over Arturo at 135, based on success over quality of opposition. However, I believe an even earlier fight between the two at 130lbs would be the most competitive.
yeh but he didnt get up in the 2nd castilo fight so i think if he gets hit gd enough he wil stay down hopefully lol.
But the chin difference is big tho but i think i would give corrales advantage jus a little by power cause there both kinda big for lightwieghts anyway.
He did get up by the way... right at the count of 10.
been a gatti fan of course bein from jersey and around AC all the time. loved to watch him fight. big fan of corrales too. i would think chico would take it though by a decision or late ko. just my opinion. defintly would be a bunch of knockdowns.
WOW!2 Of my fav fighters of all time,i got goosebumps when i seen this no joke.It would of been one of the all time great fights.Would of been a trilogy with chico winning 2
ahha same here i have become a fan of gatti to bt i always liked chico.
I duno hmm i thin corrales had the biggeer reach and possibly more power then gattibut its debatable not sure who had more power.
If they went to war corrales wud lose imo.
Did you just say someone is tougher than Corrales? Corrales just couldn't stay on his feet. He always got up though. yeh but he didnt get up in the 2nd castilo fight so i think if he gets hit gd enough he wil stay down hopefully lol.

thx bro i gta say i thought of this fight happening and it wud of been so great its more of a fan favourite fight at lightweight.
Would be a excellent fight but i pick gatti cause hes tougher and has a better chin but corrales wudnet give up either.
Both two big hearts and power makes a great fight.

Listen, guys who beat Jose Luis Castillo can probably handle Arturo Gatti...
Who did Arturo Gatti beat again that was any good, at all?
I was a pretty big Gatti fan. But I think he gets a little more credit than he should. Mainly because he was fun to watch, and involved in some wars. However, those wars were against no-so-great competition.
Who wins and how?
I think this would be a gd fight
Man, great thread.
I think it would be a great fight, really. Man, hard for me to pick...
Aww fuck it, I'm going to be a homer here, and say Corrales by a thrilling 10th round KO with a left hook.
Good K coming.
At lightweight I would give it to Corrales.
About a week before Corrales died my brother and I speculated about this fight taking place. It could have taken place at JWW or WW and it would have been a great payday for both and a great fight for the fans.
