    Damn, thats ****ed up. Why do people want to speed so much anyway? Ive never seen the fun in that. What does it really do or prove? If you want to do that then go to a track. I hate to keep seeing young guys lose there lives over meaningless ****

      The impact of the collision sent Corrales flying from his motorcycle and upon hitting the ground, he was struck by another vehicle.

        "Diego was a warrior. A true warrior. He gave fight fans their money's worth. As a fighter, he should be unducted into the boxing hall of fame. The fight with Castillo was a fight for the ages. He fought with a balls to the walls style and always wanted to give boxing fans a real fight," Shaw said.

        Ya damn right he should be unducted into the boxing hall of fame!

            All I can say is I will never forget the night that I impulsively bought a ShoTime PPV event that featured Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo.....I was only a casual fan of boxing at that time...and since....I'm a boxing junkie. Thank you Diego for giving us fights like this....it will be your legacy.

              He died two years later to the day when he won the biggest fight of his career. Crazy stuff.

                first time i saw diego fighting was the 2nd time he fought casamayor last year. he put up a good fight. then i got home and searched for corrales to see more of him and i was impressed with his skills. especially the fight with castillo.

                chico will never be forgotten. he always will have a place in every boxing fan's memory and heart.

                R.I.P chico.

                    I forced some of my friends to watch that fight with me. They left it die hard boxing fans. I burned a bootleg DVD of the fight and took it to some friends houses MONTHS after the fight. It never left their apartment, I had to burn them another copy because it got used so much. Every one of them is a boxing fan now. Every one. This is the effect Diego had.
