Diego Corrales: A Warrior Near The End

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Tom Donelson - A few weeks ago, we may have witnessed the end of a career. Diego Corrales beat some of the great fighters of his generation including Acelino Freitas, Jose Luis Castillo and Joel Casamayor. Of course, many great fighters also beat him, including Castillo, Casamayor and Floyd Mayweather. He was not afraid of any one and he was never embarrassed by a defeat.

Whatever you want to say about Diego Corrales, he understood the business side of the business and was perfectly willing to give the fans what they wanted- great fights. Often, he sided with the fans over his own self when it came to his selection of opponents. [details]

Corrales should move on.

He gave himself to this.. I hope he gets a chance to read that article.

He has the peoples respect.

I hope he feels he has enough to walk away.

Maybe he wants more money if he fights on

He had been writing off as exposed, over came a legthy layoff and was being called shot after the many wars. With Chico he could have came back better than ever who knows. NOw we will never know.
