How good was chico

chico's a great fighter, he will make the HOF

Chico left everything in the ring each time he fought. A warrior and a gladiator who would fight to the death. He was from another era and would have been an all time great in the bareknuckle age and in the early days of boxing. Took on all comers, the mofo. He fought in one of the best lightweight eras and fought the top fighters in the division - PBF, Freitas, Casamayor, JLC, Manfredy, etc.,. Ironically, I became a fan not on a win but in the lopsided loss to PBF. It is one of the most courageous things I've ever seen. IMHO, Chico was a great fighter.

Only losses in his prime to Mayweather and on a cut to Casamayor...wins over Castillo, Casamayor, Freitas...he was damn good.

Corrales was one in a million. It depends on what you mean by "good". If by that you mean a masterful boxer, with a tight defense, and an iron chin ; Then no, Chico wasn't good. But if by "good" you mean a prety solid boxer, who loved to scrap, always gave it his all, always got up and dug deep, and gave us some of the most exciting moments in boxing in the last decade? Then yes, Chico was very good. R.I.P. Chico. We still miss you, man.

chico probably knocked jesus out on his way up, no offense.

wish they could have faced off to settle the argument.

Basically like Arturo Gatti, maybe a little more talented and as much heart. Corrales was considerably better than Gatti.

GATTI?! he was 10x better in my opinion.

One of the best lightweights and super featherweights of the start of the era. Not amazingly talented, but he was much better then Gatti and was pretty good.

Chico He was good but not great, he was unstoppable until Mayweather Jr. got a hole of him, after that it was for the most part downhill, he didnt train as hard and lost focus but hes not a HOF candidate I dont think

chico was a great fighter R.I.P.

The dude was a ferocious frickin warrior man, left hook out of a cannon, just a bit one dimensional.

chico was phenomenal, an OG backstreet brawler. he always needed to improve his defense. but his outside left hook and inside punching game was simply sick. his best weight was 135 and 140. i just think towards the end of his career he didnt apply himself in the gym probably and had too many external life problems that clogged his boxing game. RIP Chico.

Basically like Arturo Gatti, maybe a little more talented and as much heart.

Depends what you mean by good...for excitment he was one of the best.

Dude could box, but loved to go to war. He fought his ass off every time out and always go up when dropped. RIP.
