is Diego Corrales a HOF??

[ßringer]

He fought

Mayweather
Castillo
Casamayor
Frietas

All in thier primes

Yes is the answer.

My point exactly, 3 out of 4 elite fighters isn't a bad percentage. I think people forget exactly how dangerous Castillo, Casamayor and Freitas all were when Corrales conquered them. Dominated in the case of Freitas.

[Technical_Skill]

If casamayor could competantly make 140, id pick him over anyone there, he is p4p material and one of the most skilled fighters in boxing by far.

[Feint]

He was a real good fighter, but an all-time great? I think he just falls short.

[Violent Demise]

No. He was fun to watch and a hell of a warrior. But he's no Hall of Famer

[C.Y.]

Wow...this thread again. IMO, yes he is.

i wasnt around for the other threads

Yeah but Mike Tyson should? The saddest figure in boxing history, who never had the discipline or heart to commit himself after Cus died. The same guy who never beat anybody close to the caliber of men conquered by Corrales.

so u dont think tyson is hof??
the youngest heavyweight champ of all time??


yea i think chico is hof based on the opposition he faced and wins he was able to get
to compare him to gatti is crazy

[-Hyperion-]

Yessss......

[tredh]

Hell No!!!!!

[THe TRiNiTY]

He killed Freitas, who didn't lose much, gave him his first lose. He fought a rising Mayweather valiantly, and lost, but made that fight, regardless. He beat Castillo in one of the greatest fights of modern times, he beat a PRIME Casamoyar, who still doesn't suck as he's the WORLD lightweight champion, and had a decent record. I'd say yes, with no real problem.

[oldgringo]

Well he's a better case than Gatti. I guess he should get in there somehow. He beat Casamayor, Freitas, Castillo, and some lesser former/eventual champions like Garcia, Gainer and St Clair.

I never considered him the best at any weight he participated at, but he was a good champion who gave us one of the greatest fights around.

[robjr]

I dont really think he is a hall of famer either..
