Juan Manuel Marquez vs Diego Corrales

hell yeah,cotto was taggin margarito all night,i didn't know who to pick in that fight,but damn was it a bad ass fight I didn't make a pick for that one. I remember thinking...... Fuck it, I'll just watch.

Look no further then Cotto-Margarito. hell yeah,cotto was taggin margarito all night,i didn't know who to pick in that fight,but damn was it a bad ass fight

It's hard to say, never seen Marquez in against someone that big, Corrales has deceptive speed, he can throw his punches with pretty good speed and he's not a bad outside fighter either although his strengths are on the inside, as I said, technically, Marquez is superior but sometimes size overcomes skill. Look no further then Cotto-Margarito.

i think since corrales isn't that fast and best when fighing inside,that JMM can make him pay with counterpunches but he would definately be wobbled throughout the fight It's hard to say, never seen Marquez in against someone that big, Corrales has deceptive speed, he can throw his punches with pretty good speed and he's not a bad outside fighter either although his strengths are on the inside, as I said, technically, Marquez is superior but sometimes size overcomes skill.

i said "super close fight" didn't I? yes, I just dissagreed with you about the winner(the most important thing). Chill out its cool, not everyone will agree about everything. By the way do you know who the judges had winning the fight at the time of the KO? I had Marquez up but ppl I was watching the fight with had Casamayor winning, I never heard the scores.

i think since corrales isn't that fast and best when fighing inside,that JMM can make him pay with counterpunches but he would definately be wobbled throughout the fight I can see Juan catching Corrales coming in with the straight right exactly like Mayweather did, putting Diego on the canvas for a flash knockdown.

I dissagree, I got JMM in a close contraversial fight. I dont think he would have got the KO though. i said "super close fight" didn't I?

Technically, Marquez is a much better fighter but Corrales was a huge 130 and 135 pounder with huge power, can Marquez avoid getting hit by Corrales for 12 rounds? It's hard to say. i think since corrales isn't that fast and best when fighing inside,that JMM can make him pay with counterpunches but he would definately be wobbled throughout the fight

Same here, he was one of those guys that you just loved to cheer for. Always gave his all and his personality wasnt cocky or arrogant, a real class act. He was one of very few fighters who, while watching them fight, I felt something for them. I don't know how to describe it, but he made me feel something in my gut, and in my heart. When he won, I won, and when he lost, I lost. The only fighters who I've ever felt that same feeling for are Marco Antonio Barrera and Bernard Hopkins. It's a very short list. yeah when he passed i couln't believe it,then they showed the video of him having fun i felt a tear I'll always remember watching the "Friday Night Fights" tribute to him when they sounded the ring bell 10 times for him with a tear streaming down my face and a lump in my throat.

I dissagree, I got JMM in a close contraversial fight. I dont think he would have got the KO though. yeah i think the same thing happens,with knockdowns though

Oh no, no way in hell it goes the full 12 rounds. Someone is getting carried out on a stretcher, and I'd pick that someone to be Manny 9 times out of 10. Chico was just too big, too strong, and too determined. I miss that guy nearly every damn day. Real talk. I cried when he died. Not excessive bawling, but I choked back a couple tears. He's one of my all time favorites. Heart and balls like you wouldn't believe. R.I.P. Diego. Same here, he was one of those guys that you just loved to cheer for.

Casamayor in his prime would've beaten JMM in a super close fight. so would Corrales. BUT, JMM has a good chance to outbox Corrales. I dissagree, I got JMM in a close contraversial fight. I dont think he would have got the KO though.

that would be the real dream match IMO, that fight going to a decision isn't even a remote possability Oh no, no way in hell it goes the full 12 rounds.

i just got schooled,speed really does have that affect can't believe i didn't remember that ,remember d.diaz "he's so f***ing fast!"

Jesus Christ, Corrales/Pac at 130? That'd be insane. If anybody ever could put Pac on the deck, it was my boy Chico. Corrales would love fighting Pac because Pac fights exactly the way Corrales prefers to fight. Manny may be able to put Chico down with a brillaintly placed, quick counter, because Chico went down on many of those. But he always got up more pissed off, and Manny doesn't have the power to hurt Chico. I'd pick Chico to take Manny in an 11th round TKO. Manny is too ballsy for his own good, and against a bigger man like Corrales it would cost him dearly. that would be the real dream match IMO, that fight going to a decision isn't even a remote possability

Pacquiao put Marquez down because he was so fast, corales isn't blazing fast, I don't see him tagging Marquez. Marquez is to quick and to accurate for Corrales I see him winning a UD. Granted that the knockdowns for Juan against Manny were mostly derived from speed. But I still think Chico could put him down at least once with his power alone. And while Corrales was never as fast as Manny or Juan, he wasn't exactly John Ruiz in there either. yeah that right hand is so amazing,every time he throws i'm like "damn,did he really just land that and not get tagged?"but i think Chico beats Pac at 130 by ud,with knockdowns in the process That's a possible scenario as well. It really is a toss up fight, no matter how you slice it. And yeah, Juan's right is incredible. The straight right hand is my favorite punch in the world, whether it's a counter, or a lead. And Juan throws the best I've seen since prime B-Hop.

Good post....how do you see Corrales-Pacqiao at 130? Jesus Christ, Corrales/Pac at 130? That'd be insane. If anybody ever could put Pac on the deck, it was my boy Chico.
